Oil & Gas - Engineering Co-Op Jobs??

[krisopotamus]

I am hunting for a workterm.

Completed 2 workterms with CNRL, one as a plant operator, and the other in Calgary as an exploitation engineer. Anyone know of any companies looking for co-op students right now (for the fall...sep t1st - dec 31st)

Thanks

I wouldnt say you would have a problem considering your past work experience, but I think your looking a little too late...from what I saw when I was looking for work terms most started hiring back in April...

Just check the websites, Most of the other big companies normally post their co-op stuff on the site and you can apply right then and there.

Yeah...had interviews and stuff through our school's co-op office but didn't find a job that I wanted....only 2 oil companies interviewed and there wasn't many jobs offered and some 4th year students snagged most of them. So now I am looking on my own because the co-op office is kinda useless...

Shit if you did time in the plant Write your 4th Class Power ticket. Why not have it as well

You have enough steam time

You should probably just look for an operator position again. Like rinny said, you are looking pretty late in the game. I am already placed for January and May next year

Didn't realize other schools did it that early. At the U of R the "match" was just on thursday, and theres still jobs being posted...but I wanted to do some looking on my own since lthe co-op office is failing miserably at getting guaranteed jobs for U of R students...hence why 80% of the petroleum students don't have jobs for the fall.

[Euro_Trash]

Oh that's too bad to hear. Like you, I don't use the co-op office which is why I am placed so far ahead, but most of my friends know where they will be in January too.
I didn't think you guys had a Petroleum program over there?

Yeah U of R has:

Industrial
petroleum
Electronic
environmental
software

for engineering programs.

I am in industrial but I have worked in O&G and I like it...no point in changing to petrol anyways since companies always need engineers so they take mech/ind. anyways.

Applied for about 10 companies on my own today...and one job came up through the co-op office. I am gonna keep applying at companies, i have a list of about 30 more i can send resume's to

exploit or explor - ation...

[Euro_Trash]

It is exploitation, kind of a mix of production and reservior. Similar to other companies "Development Engineer"

[krisopotamus]

Yeah, basically an exploitation looks for ways to maximize the production out of an area. That includes things such as where to put new wells, finding reserves, and ehanced oil recovery. At least for my area thats what I worked on.

What companies are your next workterms at Euro?
