Grammar question !! Please help

He alternated working in the office with long tours overseas

I just wonder the grammar of this sentence, could anyone please help me out? the "alternated" here means a verb but how about the "working"? And "overseas" is an adj right? so in what situation that I can put it behind a noun?

Thank you!
