Operators of all types are needed here both in the mining end and in the construction. A lot of the mines prefer to hire inexperienced people for heavy hauler as they don't come with bad habits and are more easily trained, as I can attest to. I am the trainer where I work right now and we recently hired a dozen truck drivers with no experience. My wife who drove schoolbus was hired to run 195 ton hauler. Construction here is going like mad with over 10,000 guys working in the oilsands construction alone. Not to mention all the highway and housing construction. I guy I know is looking for crusher personel, starting wage is 15.00/hr for a labourer to start working 12 on 4 off 12 hr shifts. It is like that everywhere here. For all lines of work, not just construction. Perfect place for a young family to move to. Walk in the doors of West Edmonton Mall and there is a big sign saying 1000 jobs available here right now! Grocery stores and fast food places are offering hiring and relocation bonuses just to get people( they hide applications in your bag of food. If you want a job come here and stand around for 5 minutes and someone will put a shovel in your hand. Over the next ten years Alberta will need 100,000 more workers in the province. Over 80 billion in oilsands construction coming up. Yes billion!!!! Feel free to e-mail me 245ME if you want, I can give you a list a mile long of companies
