While specific skills and tasks are sought, the station emphasizes the importance of teamwork, as everyone is expected to contribute to all tasks as much as their abilities and qualifications allow. Interviews for the positions are likely to take place in March and April, followed by medical examinations for selected candidates in May. Preparations for the expedition, including training, are scheduled from June to September, with the expedition set to depart in the fall.
The station operates with two crews: a winter team, which works year-round from October to November of the following year, comprising approximately 8-10 individuals, and a summer team active from November to the end of March.
The winter team will consist of an expedition leader, an energy/electrician specialist, a construction machinery mechanic, an electronics/scientific equipment caretaker, a doctor/paramedic/nurse, an environmental observer, an infrastructure technical caretaker, and a Zodiac boat operator responsible for safe marine transportation to research sites.
The summer team includes a head chef, kitchen assistant/social part caretaker, unmanned aerial vehicle operator, and an operator of a PTS (Puchaty Transporter Sanitarny - a type of Polish-made tracked vehicle.)
