Hello, I wasn't to sure where to go to ask this, bit I am a journeyman electrician and am considering a move o Edmonton. I know there's lots of camp jobs up there which I am not interested in. Does anyone know what it's like to get hired in and around Edmonton with a local company that stays fairly local for there work? Any info is appreciated thanks

lol, there are no camp jobs in Edmonton, there are camp jobs in Fort Mac, way the hell and gone. Edmonton is a huge bustling city, and if you start Googling, I'm sure you'll find work as an electrician in no time at all.

Start at Edmonton.ca to find out a bit about where you're actually thinking of moving.

Territorial Elec is one of the larger companies in the area. They also have contracts in the Oil and gas camps.
Prinz Elec is another compnay that is good to work for.
Merrit Construction is another. Can't recall if it is one or 2 r's in Merrit or Merit. Do a search- fill out an app online.

Yep they moved the camps to Gold Bar cause it floods there now and then and those nasty camps needs washing. Where is Edmonton "up" from? The north or south pole?

When I was there it was a process of getting the word out as wide as possible that a person existed willing and there to work.

Lot's of free-lance recruiters back then... I don't know about now... probably internet based.

If you're willing to work up north, you went to exactly the right place.
