Drive, train, and grow into a skilled equipment operator — home-based near Crossfield, AB, with pay that doesn't dry up when the work does.
This is an entry-level opportunity to build a real trade career operating specialized mobile nitrogen generation equipment on well sites across Alberta. You'll start as a trainee, working alongside an experienced supervisor who will mentor you through every step — from the basics of the equipment to running the unit yourself.
What makes this different from a typical field job is the pay structure. Here, the base salary is set higher than many competitors specifically so you have security — you're paid your salary even during on-call downtime between jobs, not just when you're out in the field.
There's also real room to grow. Operators move through three levels of increasing responsibility, and a strong performer can step into a supervisory role within about two years.
What You'll Be Doing
- Operate and help maintain mobile nitrogen generation equipment safely and according to standard procedures
- Safely drive a Class 1 tractor-trailer to and from well sites, completing pre- and post-trip inspections and driver logbooks
- Assist with rigging up and rigging down equipment under the guidance of an experienced supervisor
- Monitor the nitrogen unit during pumping operations and learn to identify and flag basic issues
- Complete daily field reports, participate in safety meetings, and help identify hazards on site
- Build toward greater responsibility as you progress through the operator training levels
What We're Looking For
- Valid Class 1 driver's license with at least six months of driving experience
- A clean, insurable driving record
- Comfortable in a field-based, safety-sensitive environment with variable, on-call scheduling
- Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
- Willingness to travel to well sites and work closely as part of a small crew
- Trucking or oilfield experience is a bonus, not a requirement — full training is provided
- Existing First Aid, H2S Alive, or CSO tickets are an asset (we'll get you certified if you don't already have them)
Compensation & Work Model
Base salary of $50,000–$60,000 plus a field bonus of $225–$300 per day worked, with total compensation potential of $100,000–$120,000 per year. Also includes a safety bonus twice a year, RSP matching, and medical benefits. This is a full-time, permanent, field-based position with paid on-call standby between jobs.
Location & Travel
Based out of Crossfield, AB. Candidates should be located within about an hour's drive (from the Red Deer area down to the outskirts of Calgary). Field work involves travel to well sites, with transportation, accommodation, and per diems covered by the company.
