...so you want to work at a camp? like as kitchen staff or housekeeping? or do you want to stay at a camp and be an oilworker?

Go to nisku alberta camp out in front of precision drillings head office till they hire you! Hound them.... Or neighbours is another big outfit but 1st things 1st do you have your h2s tickets? Cause you can't even go on a lease without them, so there for you can't get hired if you don't.

right now I dont care really what I do i just want to work up there. Nothing requiring trade skills but i would take kitchen, housekeeping, working on an oilworker... just basically looking for general information here... not looking to go up until the new year

Why not stay in Vancouver? The city is amazing with all the high paying job opportunities!ound:

All Oil Field jobs in BC come from Alberta. Figure out what you want to do and go to those companies providing those services in either Edmonton or Calgary.

If you have a trade go to the Union hall in that area and get on their list.

i think even the roughnecks have to do the h2alive course first, but the investment pays off because you're pretty much guaranteed a job the day you graduate.

If by up north, you mean Fort mac, go to Alberta and start knocking on doors, they are hiring, all the time. If you mean the far north, most of the construction season is almost over, if you want a mining job, try the websites.

I wouldn't be caught dead in The Mac ound:

I have a friend (who's an escort) who tells me stories from when she goes up there... says she walks bowlegged after a week up there... LOL
