Alberta has the pipelines. Lots of jobs however cost of living high.


Have you seen the value of the Canadian Loonie lately?I am trying to get a job on the oil pipeline?
Unless you have any oil field related abilities you won't be making that much money, probably half (if that). You would start at the bottom (rig hand) but if you don't show signs of becoming a great employee, you won't move from that position for a long time.


Most companies will have a camp set up for oil rig employees. It's nothing more than shared quarters (bunk beds) and most meals are provided. Your there anywhere from three to six months depending on where you go and it is far away from anything (your pretty well isolated).


I suggest you do some research on what exactly your looking for (job wise) and where you want to be situated at and with who (company). Be prepared to spend most days outside in the bitter cold and long hours with little time off.


Also note that the oil has slowed down in much of Alberta (last few months). Your best to look at Saskatchewan for now.
If you are willing to live in a camp, then you can make quite a bit of money. I am guessing that you could clear 15-20 grand in 6 months because in the camps, everything is taken care of.





But it's a rough environment ... the guys are tough, and the working conditions are tough. If you are willing to tough it out, you can probably do well in camp.





If you do have some skills, like a trade or ability to drive heavy equipment, you have a better chance at a better job.

EDIT: Fort McMurray is where most of the jobs are in the oilfield right now, all of Alberta is crying for workers. The only problem is that the cost of living has gone up so much, too.
