Only the Banff is out of stock but the Citadel is there. The sales rep says they can order the size and colour of any style if you wish however.

Anyone here work at any company looking for third or fourth class power engineers? I'm looking to work in Alberta, and would greatly appreciate if anyone had a hook up

check on jobbank.gc.ca or fortmcmurrayjobshop.ca. Always see jobs posted. Also apply to the major mine companies as well. Syncrude, Suncor, Canadian Natural, Imperial Oil, Shell, etc.

Fuck man, we had 3 companies trying to recruit while we were in class.
Suncor, Shell, and I forget the other one (Canada Pipeline?)
I didn't want to work in Alberta, but a bunch of my classmates hopped on the first flight out after graduation. Making good money. Buddy said he started at $34/hour and it's all the OT you want, which is pretty good for a 4th class. I'd assume you can clear $100k/year if you want to.
Everything I see for Vancouver Island/Lower Mainland is $25-$30/hour as a 4th and not really enough work to get a lot of OT, so $50-$60k/year. Not bad, but not great either. Don't blame you for wanting to go to AB.
Where are you working now and how do you like it?

I don't like where I work, ain't got the firing time to finish my third. One test away from completion. I've been constantly looking on indeed, and applying like crazy. but any hook ups would obviously help a lot more.

No hookups, but I know the aforementioned companies were desperate for power engineers just a few months ago when I was finishing up my 4th. They moved a handful of guys out there to work for them straight out of school with their 4ths and no experience. We also did gas processing in the course as well, so that may have had some influence (all oil-related companies).
Sucks about firing time. I'm only getting about half an hour a day of firing time where I'm at, so it'll take a while to accumulate enough hours.

Posted via RS Mobile | I just need my firing time then im done (1 yr), which is ridiculous. For some reason only the chief eligable to get 3rd class firing time in a 4th class plant, which I wasn't aware of (we were all shocked to find that out when a cpl guys didn't pass the firing time evaluation) Ive been at this place for seven years. I do everything the chief does and so on, the regs just dont make any sense. Only a chief is eligible for firing time in a 4th class plant, yet in a heating plant everyone is allowed :/

A friend of mine works at Syncrude with his 4th Class and I think he's at $59/hr. His shift is:
3 dayshifts of 12 hours
3 nightshifts of 12 hours
6 days off.
He is paid straight time on all 72 hours because of being a 'compressed work week'. Although, if he works on his days off, it is all double time, and he says he can go almost any time he wants.
So his overtime days he is at $118/hr for all he works.

Good luck. I was in your boat before I got in at VIU.
It's one of those vicious cycles:
Can't get 4th class certificate without firing time
Can't get firing time without 4th class certificate (because no one will hire you without it).

I'm pissed off about this firing time bullshit. I'm going to move to Edmonton in March if I don't hear back from chevron or canexus. I hope I get a job there. The boiler I worked on for seven years was only 3m^2 short of being considered a third class boiler.

what a fucking roller coaster.
I just moved back to Vancouver, and Pason called me for a job/interview.
4 on 4 off in Calgary 60k a year.
I can't even handle myself right now that I actually have to refuse this job.

Ill be heading back to the mac once im home from New York. 14/14 shift, with flights paid to Calgary. If they give me time off for school, I might work more then 14 days, kekekeke.
