Cenovus Camp

[outrageousrich]

Hello all,
just curious if anyone knows what recruitment company Cenovus works with or even at all. Looking to get on a camp for some work and need some suggestions.

Cheers

Your question sucks. What kind of work are you hoping to do? Working AT the camp? I suspect ost fo them are run by HNL, BDI, PTI or sometone like that. I don't think those people are Cenovus staff.

Or do you just want to work "in the patch" and you heard cenovus was a good place to work, and you want a camp job because you don't want to cook? If so, go back to my first question, what kind of work do you want to do?

[outrageousrich]

You're right, I forgot to mention, the type of work...something in administration, logistics or coordinator. Yes, I heard that Cenovus' camp is top notch and the money is pretty good.

They don't use head hunters for roles like that. They only use them for difficult to fill roles.

For contract roles I think they use Bowen.

bowen or sureflow

It's Bowen but all jobs are posted on the website. Good luck!

If you have a dick and aren't native good luck you have a slim chance of getting that job and maintaining your rich status.

If you want to camp in the camp with other campers you are going to have to labor with the laborers, unless you trade up to a trade.

Here are non-trade jobs available right now at PTI camps. Keep in mind this does pay better than working at Arby's on 17th Ave but definitely not enough to be outrageously rich. Most of the people working these jobs are people that live close to the camp anyway (typically on a reservation) and therefore the pay isn't that great for whitey.

If you want to make camp money you need a trade.

$20+/h, benefits, fly in fly out, and accommodations/food provided for your shift?

More money then I ever made without an education. Not hard work.

It's not the smartest decision (working up north never is in the end IMO), but it can definitely help if you are having a tough time scoring a higher paying job with no skillset.

Being a labourer is nice and all as you get paid more, but then you have to be outside in -40*C weather half the year and do all the bitch work

^^ Assuming you work 40 hours a week that is around $40k a year....

If you're 18 that's ok money I guess, but as a grown-ass man you need to be raking in more than $40k a year.

FC is the better one and does 9/5

They also have Pelican Lake which is 7/7 for contractors and 8/6 for Cenovus employees.

It's been around for a couple of years I think, I know quite a few guys from my hometown (Athabasca) work out there because of the location (Wabasca).

Alberta's average salary is $50k per year. $20/h and your food covered for two weeks at a time? Plus $20/h is the low end, considering fort mac was paying $24/h for Tim Hortons employees (starting wage). So yea, you are earning ok cash for no education and being inside all nice and warm. Probably tack on an extra $300 gross earnings per paycheque for that. And you won't be working 40 hours per week (really, do I need to explain this to you, or have you never been in camp?), the general camp workers are 10-12 hour shifts. I'm not saying it is good money, but it is certainly easy money (with little competition and virtually nothing expectation wise except for you having a pulse).

Onsite labourers start at $30/h up north. Not everyone makes baller beyond money.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Doesn't that $50k/yr avg salary include seniors and people on welfare? Just curious. I suspect the average oil/gas company salary is much higher.

[ExtraSlow]

Average salary on beyond.ca is $250k per year and up. Us ballers won't get out of bed for less than a buck a minute.

[403ep3]

$50k is around the start and it only goes higher based on your position.

The highest income in Canada is found in the area around Fort McMurray in the Alberta oilsands, where median family income is $186,782.

I am simply suggesting that the additional $10,000/year you make working at a camp vs local entry level jobs is probably not worth it.

And yes HiTemp, been around a camp or two IMO camp life isn't worth it if you can't at least break 70k/yr

Haha there is no way I'd go up north for 70k/yr. And I don't even have to work outside when I'm up there.
