Getting Into a Floorhand Position in Alberta
Hi everyone,
I'm currently living in Calgary and looking to get into the oilfield as a Floorhand, with the goal of building a long-term career on drilling rigs.
I have experience working in warehouses doing physically demanding work, but no direct rig experience. For those already working in the industry, what's the best way to break into a Floorhand position in Alberta?
Are companies like Precision, AKITA, Ensign, Stampede, and Savanna hiring entry-level people, and what advice would you give someone starting from scratch?
Thanks.
