Theres a lot of work coming up for the summer, generally the construction managers apply for what they need through the union/HR so if you have no skill and no nobody you probably have to go through HR which is always a bitch

things that will guarantee you never get a job:
Unclean abstract (DUI=done for ever)
criminal record

Other than that, apply and stress your aptitude towards safety and working hard, never ask about pay/benefits (other than something like housing/travel arrangements) and hope for the best

try applying for some of the large oilsands/service companies shell, syncrude, etc look around

you'd need a work-visa. probably a Canadian temporary foreign worker one. I don't know exactly how the process works, I think you need a company to sponsor you (or atleast that makes it a lot easier).

Not sure but I believe they pay foreign workers less too.

dumb people always cant handle money regardless of industry

start up a few decent investments and spend carefully and you'll be living grand

Can you be more specific?

I have past charges of fraud, extortion, trespassing, and burglary.

[JAOCO]

Im really considering this, it just sucks that you spend almost every moment of your life working lol.

And if they pay immagrants less fuk that shyt, unless it is only like 35 out of 40 dollars then that is straight.

They didnt do a criminal check on me, the abstract is the big one. Dont know of any company that wont hire without a recent (30 day) abstract and written approval to check abstract every few months

a DUI would be killer, plenty of other options to choose from

Even with such high wages, 30 percent of the tar sands population live below the poverty line, because inflation has driven the cost of a home to $600,000 or more and even a trailer can cost $300,000.

Workplace injuries and even death are common. In 2007, there were 154 people killed on the job and 34,000 injured, according to Nikiforuk. Investigations proceed at a glacial pace and the many foreign workers – from China, Venezuela, Mexico, Croatia and other developing countries – are even more likely to be left without recourse if injured on the job.

High rates of suicide and self-injury and the grisly toll of auto accidents on the infamous Highway 63 leading to the tar sands are other morbid results of the industry, Nikiforuk writes.

[Frank Drebin]

[JAOCO]

brah i do what the higher ups tell me to do

coming from the usa with about 4 years of work experience in labor how much you think i would start out at?

[PrayForRain]

^^

plenty of mexicans that need to feed their families

[JAOCO]

prolly all if he is just a laborer then he does a little of everything

[Polak55]

do they tell you to build scaffold, install blinds, weld joints or clean up garbage

all paid by the hour!

I do some general labouring depending on need, nothing specific. maybe go down the operator-foreman line in time

[Polak55]

coming from the usa with about 4 years of work experience in labor how much you think i would start out at?

depends on company, union or not, etc

wide range but

Labourer: 20-35/hr

Equipment operator: 25-40$/hr

Mechanic: 30-40/hr

[engj]

I hear that the food they serve in camp is awesome. Can anyone confirm?

Working in camp is what got me fat. The work i put in the gym now is me paying for that.

[Mr_Dog]

oil sands ftw!

[mfitty9000]

Think I'm gonna put in another 6 months on the job to look better on the resume, then see about getting one of those general labour jobs. Thing is from what I read, you need a job with camp or you'll be renting a bachelor apartment for like $1400/month.

If I could move out there, get $25/hr starting, with camp, food paid, overtime, 70-80 hours/week I'd do whatever man. No homo.

I'm a contract estimator for a major Industrial contactor in the area.

Labour is $30+

Gr 1 Equipment Op is $41+

Diesel Mechanics are $50+

When I was a superintendent, I was over $70.

Overtime (over 40 hrs) is double on industrial sites (syncrude/suncor). 10hr days, 10 days on, 4 off.

No joke.

he said starting though, your numbers seem a little high but I could certainly see it in some situations.

[engj]

hmmm 20 bucks an hour to travel half way across the world with the risk of dieing on the job lol

We've hit over 2,000,000 man hours without a time-loss incident, not even a sprained ankle. You have more risk driving down the highway.

These are trade rates, so yeah they are a little high to start. Six months to a year later though you should be there. If mechanics are gold seal/red seal certified should be right away though

People dont understand how heavily safety has been forced down on everyone by all contractors and the oilsands giants.

Hours a day of safety paperwork/meetings before every job
