we have 4 people who only have a class 5, and yes, during breakup they are sent to the red deer driving school to get their class 1. the way we work is they are a 3rd hand on a crew to get them trained on a pumper. breakup is a great time to get their driver training and then onto a bulker or pumper this summer.

 

sk306, give eric at trican in lloyd a call and see what he says. 780 875 7327. will have to live within a half hour driving distance from the shop. not sure if we are looking for any one or not.

 

Thanks for the number bobbyt. Never knew they put guys with class 5 into the field. I always thought they got a 1A first before any field time. What would a job bonus look like for a 3rd hand? With driver training put on durring break up, if I started after break up it seems like it could be quite a while before I got my 1a

 

thats something to talk to eric about. driver training goes on year round along with green hand school. i spent 1 week in red deer going to green hand school, but i have a class 1 before i started. every one has to go to green hand school before you go into the field.

 

Wow...

One week of basic safety, one day for Safe-Gulf, and they send you out on the water in the Gulf of Mexico.

I had 14 years out there on oilfield specialty boats (Captain) before BP and Obummer screwed that up...

 

These positions are in the Canadian Oil Sands.

 

i think he's trying to point out that the safety courses these days are more intense than back in the olde days.

well duh, nowadays hairdressers need a license, same with ppl that work with food need a foodsafe cert, need a cert to operate a chainsaw, etc...

 

if there is any question on my post, i meant 1 week for company specific training. if you don't have the safety tickets like h2s, first-aid, fall arrest, etc, then thats more time, and if you have to go to driver training classes thats more time yet. can imagine you could spend well over a month doing all your training if you are totally green.
