Jobs At Oil And Gas Industry In Canada

The Canadian oil and gas industry is big business, as the country boasts almost 200 billion barrels of oil reserves and vast natural gas reserves making the nation the largest reserve holder in the world after Saudi Arabia. As the United States' top supplier of energy imports, the Canadian natural gas and oil sector is a privatized industry with plenty of excellent and well paying job opportunities available to skilled candidates. There are already over 550,000 people employed in the industry across the country and recruitment is currently ongoing for roles across many disciplines including:
Contracts & Procurement

Project Management

Drilling & Completions

Quality Control

Canada Immigration and Visa Jobs

Maintenance And Operations

While most oil and gas jobs are concentrated in Saskatchewan and Alberta provinces, the current skills shortage now means that some companies operate a fly in fly out arrangement which transports workers from other areas to the oil fields.

Professional Registration
In order to be eligible for jobs in Canada in oil and gas industry, you will need to ensure that you are registered with the appropriate professional body. You will need to search to make inquiries to check which organization or association you need to register with, as it will vary from province to province. For example, in Alberta, you must be registered as a member of APEGA (the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists in Alberta) in order to apply for a position and be recognized as a professional in your field.

When oil companies recruit staff, they are primarily concerned with whether the candidate has the appropriate technical skills to perform the role, and prior experience in a similar field is a distinct advantage, although transferable skills are also often taken into account. It is also important for applicants to display the right kind of attitude, and to be positive, responsible and innovative employees who are able to work well with others but also be self-motivated.
