Have you looked up oil sands in Alberta?

I think you need to get an invite from the country you are wanting to work at

No, but thanx for the information. I had no idea where to even start. My wife just told me that I could be making more if I just looked around a little. Don't mean to be greedy but do you know of anywhere else? You know what they say, the more you put out the better the chances.

Can you tell more about doing this?

Hi Everyone,

To work in Canada you will need to find an employer that is willing to hire you before you come to Canada. For most trades it is a long process that can take about six months +. But recently due to the high demand for crane operators in Canada, the Canadian government has sped up the process for crane operators. Now the process can take up to a month and half. Right now a crane operator in Western Canada earns anywhere from $60,000 to $120,000 a year. Most average at about $85,000-$90,000.

If anyone is interested in working in Canada they can send their resume to jobs@coastindustrialcanada.ca. We currently have a number of openings in Northern Alberta.

Thank you so much for the information and I am emailing my resume' as we speak. Sometimes you just need for someone to give you a chance. I hope I can get hired for me and my family's sake. The "gangs" are getting worse in our town and I need to get my 13 yr old son out before they get hold of him.

It states that your email folder is full. Is there another way for me to get you the resume' or do you have another email address?

Hi Emanuel,

It shouldn't be full but I have emptied it out so now it should work.

Regards

I am not sure what is going on but I have sent my resume's several times to jobs@coastindustrialcanada.ca. Please verify. Is this address okay. I also had my wife send it from work and she is having the same problems.

You can send it to ryanball@coastindustrialcanada.ca

I tired sending an email to our jobs@coastindustrialcanada.ca and it bounced back as well. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards

Thanx Ryan. I think it worked this time. Anything u can do to help me and my family would be greatly appreciated. I just need someone to give me a chance so I can show them what I can do.

Hi I too am a crane operator here in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. I have a C6 crane ticket (up to 60tonne) I currenty work on construction sites both crane operating and rigging for expansion projects. I work on BHP Billiton and Pilbara Iron mine sites, two of the major iron ore mining companys here in Australia. I have been looking into crane positions in Canada and am interested in relocating both mself and my partner (a primary school teacher here in Australia). Should I take the same steps as Emanuel has above.
Thank you for your help
Mark

this sounds like the same situation I'm running into .sent out multiple resumes with plenty of refrences 20 plus yrs as operator and supervisor in underground utilities,earth moving,mining ect. But no overseas hitchs.I'm very interested in Alberta,Canada.Sounds like aperfect fit for me.Whats the answer?Do you need someone on the inside?

You know the old saying, "Its not what you know but who you know." There are so many jobs out there for crane operators but alot of them they want you to have offshore experience, but as I have stated before how do you get the offshore experience if no one will give you a chance.

It always helps to know someone,if I did not have a family member in the business my dreams of being a crane operator would be just that..But I should start work soon in in the Pacific North West of the united states,,,I would love to give Canada a try but don't know anyone so I won't bother,,,but good luck

I have experience operating cranes and other heavy equipment. I ran a construction business in Kentucky for 7 years before injuring myself. I am interested in positions in Canada, the Middle East or Australia.

Please email me for information.

Look Up KBR company on like monster.com or craneoperatorjobs.com,good luck.

I am a red seal certified crane operator with experience in pile driving and drilling. Experience on linkbelts, kobelco and sumitomo crawlers. Looking for employment overseas or in fort mac. Not sure how to go about it.

What about heavy equipment operators with over 35yrs experience?

Mike Davis

Most of us are logged onto this site because we are looking for a better job as heavy equipment operators. Is there someone out there that can help us? We keep saying that we have experience in some shape, form or fashion but no one will tell us how to go about getting all the requirements we need so we can apply to jobs over in Saudi Arabia. It is alot of good workers out there that are being over looked because @ this time we don't have the necessary paper work to move forward. I have been up and down the internet looking for answers. How do we go about getting the experience to work over seas if no one will give us a chance?

Hey Alex, A CV is just a fancy way of saying resume'.

alan

Send me your email address and I will forward you my resume'(cv). As for relocating my family, my wife says when do you want me there and she will have us packed and ready.LOL

Emanuel,I dont want to flood my e-mail box with every body looking for work,Im not a company owner,i might be able to help you get your feet wet if you have the right cradentials, I certanly do not want you to get excited just informed. how about you give me your e-mail add

I understand. krobinson@helixesg.com

In order to wok in Canada, you have to fill out this form (www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca/forms_publications/forms/pdf/appl_qual_cert.pdf#page=14). This form is to certify an operators experience. You must have 6750hrs and 54 months of hands on experience in order to be accepted. The cost of this application is $450cdn. Once this application is accepted and passed, the processing time for a work permit in Canada for an operator is 5 days. It’s not possible to work in Canada unless you have passed this assessment.

Thanx for the info, Ryan.

gwiggs44@yahoo.com

You had sent me your phone number and ask that I call. I work offshore alot of the time and can't cell service. Would you mind contacting me using email address? gwiggs44@yahoo.com
Also my cell phone number is 985-519-4530
Thank you Gary Wiggins

My name is Gary Wiggins. I have been working offshore in the oil field industry now for a little over 2 years.
I just obtained my Able Seaman certication through the US Coast Guard and I also have a MMD card through them as well.
I also hold a number of other certifcations that are to long to list but are require by my job or the US Coast Guard.
I have been operating a crane now for about 3 years. I hold a class "A" crane operators certification that complys with
API RP 2D 5th Edition required by the MMS & USCG for crane operations at sea. My certification is rated for 175 tons with
no restrictions other than wearing glasses. My history of operating
cranes has been very successful with no incidents or accidents. The cranes that I have been operating have been
Energy Cranes and cranes manufactured by EBI. The Energy crane is 175 ton with a lattice boom of 110 feet. The
EBI crane was a 60 ton with a box boom. My work offshore has been on lift boats that look like a barge that raises
out of the water on 3 legs that jack down to the bottom sea bed. Sometimes we might be out of the water as for as
100 feet. The crane would then load and back-load off the barge or boat to the supply boats that service us with equipment
and crew members. Sometimes I might make a lift as much as 40 tons. I hope this helps you understand what I can do and I
look forward to hearing from you. My email address is gwiggs44@yaho.com Thank you

Raytheon, KBR (Kellogg, Brown & Root) and Bechtel all have jobs overseas. Raytheon does work in Antarctica if anyone's interested. Check out their websites for more information.... but from what I have learned by speaking to each of them the money is'nt as good as rumoured.

Nobody's dumb enough to fall for that scam.

Look Buddy, We are all logged into this forum for one reason and one reason only, we are looking for better jobs. Please don't put crap like that on here. No one wants anything to do with your non-sense and personally if I see it again I will report you. If you are not going to put information on here that can help the next man out don't waste your time.

don't get discouraged but you should get the CDL asap unless it is a 100 ton or above most companies won't provide an oiler,,so you have to drive the thing,set it up,run it and in most cases take care of minor repairs....
