Camp Jobs Canada
Nov 4th, 2006
I suggest you get a H2S certificate, from a safety training center. Then apply to Drilling Companies like
Nabors Drilling & Precision Drilling. They are all located in Nisku AB. Send Resume and follow up Every other day. Eventually the Personal Manager will find you a job out on a rig somewhere in Western Canada.
Take warm clothes for winter. Hard hat, 3-pairs of gloves, safety glasses, fire proof coveralls & load of energy.
Ask good questions & listen to your Driller and manager. A lot of oilfield terminology will come at you very quickly absorb it in stride and enjoy. Don't be afraid to get dirty. Plus safety is a big thing , you will have a safety meeting everyday & time to drink your coffee.
You will see a lot of western canada that most people in the city will never see.
Good Luck

The only thing that they can't do for you is provide a clean piss test... that's all up to you. : )Heading to AB in cpl weeks & really looking for labour jobs on either oil /service rigs or oilfields.

I suggest you wait until the third quarter to look for work. Caodc announced they will cut back on the amount of wells to be drilled from 24000 to 18000 wells for 2007. Start to look for work in November 2007.
However you may want to check out Fort Mcmurray (unconventional oil). They mine for oil instead of drilling for it.
Here are a couple of drilling contractors ;
Precision drilling (largest) 403-264-4882
Ensign drilling 780-955-8808
Jade Drilling 780-955-5500
Nabors (big Company) 403-263-6610
Jomax Drilling (The Best, but small 12 Rigs) 403-265-5312
Trinidad (dynamic new player, excellent rigs) 403-265-6525
Lakota 780-980-0616
Tri-City (Doubles, Shallow rigs) 780-955-3311
Good Luck

If you work for a drilling contractor or a servicing outfit and if its camp work then you get a bed in the camp.
If its not you get paid subsistence and stay in a hotel.
Your going to need a place to stay on your off days. Typical drilling rigs working 12 hour shifts work a two week on, one week off schedule. Rigs working 8 hour shifts just work endlessly but never have camps.

Im a 20 year old highschool grad, no university. Lately ive been thinking of moving out west for about a year to do some work. Im a big guy, strong. Im looking for long hours, good pay and hard work.
Looking over the internet all night i've basically come up with alot of BS. If alberta is so strapt for workers, why is it nearly impossible for me to find opportunity's?
Can anyone out there give me some advice or direction on how to get moving and working in alberta???
I am from Nova Scotia looking to move out. I am unskilled but from friends i've heard they train you. I guess I want entry level work, something deacent tho. Upward of 25$ an hour-ish?
Websites? Links? Company names? Any useful information will be greatly appreciated. Im not fussy on the job, I just want some well earned cash.
Thank you for your time.

I found some information on this new work camp currently under construction. It sounds very nice actually with modern ameneities.

I'd be interested to know more about this camp also and the types of jobs it caters to. I am a Heavy Equipment Operator with a Class 1 licence from Ontario currently looking for work. If you know of employment that would fit this criteria or more about this camp please share. Thanks!

Hi Candy Cane.....camp jobs are not all they seem to be! If you can land a good camp well your making it big I only know of one camp thats any good and thats Firebag. I know someone that was there and all was good if you want the money then thats the one. The food I heard was great and the work was safe. The person I know is not there now because he worked at rebar and he was Union and they stoped work for some reson. He is now in a camp close to Fort Mac and well its not safe and the food sucks and the living conditions are well not good..so it seems to be a hit and miss. I hope you find what your looking for and well I also hope if you got a girl you can be trusted because the storys are true thats all I will say...But try Firebag its ALL GOOD THERE! no troubles to get into...stay safe!!!!

Without experience you won't get much in AB. Go back to school while you still can.

Prarie Boy pretty much has it covered, but if you show up looking for work with your H2S, First Aid & WHIMMS tickets already in hand, you have just shown the HR guy you have some initiative. A valid driver's license with a reasonably good abstract is also a good selling point for you - the new guy typically drives the crew truck between camp & the rig with the lunchbox. Leave your attitudes back where you came from & pay attention to what your driller or push tells you - like any job, the guys watch the newbie closely for a while. Be prepared for a rewarding job with a good future, but be prepared for (sometimes long) 12-hr shifts, lots of physical work, stress from being away from home & family for 2-wk periods. Bed-wetters need not apply. Hope this helps. Nisku, Ab is headquarters for most drilling contractors, with afew in Edmonton. Good Luck.
