Alberta oilfield driving jobs

Thanks for your comments, nitrogen. Appreciated..

Maybe, when I apply to companies one by one for truck driving positions, I should mention they can consider me for engineering positions later. Whichever is easy, I stay in the industry as a truck driver or engineer, I want to stay in oil industry. Once I get in an oil company, I can wait for my promotion.

I hope Chevron will keep me in their Canada operations. But I must be ready for a B-Plan, which I am trying to build up through this thread these days.

 

They are screaming for experience power engineers in north eastern ab. I know 21 year old kids fresh outta school starting at 130000.

 

I searched that option, too. Again licensing issues. That takes time. Letters from my previous employers, exams, interviews.

Other than those, they require steam time, 6 months as I remember. On tanker we pump out the oil by turbines by supplying 16 Bar steam to them. I work with steam all day, but they don't accept that experience. I have to take a course, which too many people are waiting to be scheduled at SAIT. To get in a company without steam time is not easy, as I read on a forum.

After getting in the industry, I guess things would be easier, after meeting some people from management while I am working on the field as a driver or operator.

If I am financially ok with trucking, I will not look for other options. I want to do a job of my interest. But if the options, I might get, look ok, and are not a big hassle to achieve, then I change my direction. I am just trying to get in Canadian Oil Industry as easily as possible.

Thank you for your advice, belowspeedlimit.. And thanks to those who helps me.. The truckers there in Canada and in this forum are really professional, not only professional drivers.

 

Hello, everyone!

i was wondering if any of you have any info on how much bonus pay can you expect working cement with sanjel up in Alberta? im considering to get into this position they offer me.... Ive been driving for 5 months in ontario and im willing to relocate to ab maby $ situation will be better out there... hoping that some of you can give me some input into this gig... is it very physical? Thank you All and Merry Christmas!

 

If you don't try it, you will never know it!

 

I imagine you're going to start off running a bulker. Unless you fill the dust sock,nothing is really stupid heavy. 2 inch iron most rig ins are not real big. 4 in rubber pneumatic hose, empty unless you plug off. Then you shut off product, blow straight air til it clears. Money was respectable when i was there. You have to keep an eye on the dispatchers. Sometimes they get tempted to slip your load to their buddy if it's a good one and you're not right there. Overall though a decent place to work

 

Thank you nitrogen This should help me with my decision to move out there! im wondering if you can help choose what type of winter Gear i should buy for this job,. i know the company will provide some of it but i like to make sure im warm outhere! Much appreciated!

 

It's a dry cold

 

Trican has given me pretty much all I need for winter except for the winter boots which I will be purchasing at Mark's. Just completed H2S alive and off to R.D. for green hand school next week. From what I gather the hardest job as a bulker will be chaining up.

 

for cementing I preferred the fire dept insulated rubber boots with bama booties year round. warm enough for winter light enough for mud and summer. no matter how dry it is, by the time you wash out theres mud to walk through. HH heavy weight 2 piece underwear for the cold days.
