As is the case in most countries there is a stated preference to hire 'natives' over foreigners. Since the oil sands are located in Canada it's only natural that they fill many jobs. However, oil sands projects have created over 35,000 jobs and industry analysts estimate a need for more than 100,000 more workers between now and 2012. There just aren't enough Canadians to fill all of the jobs in Alberta. Consequently, companies have recruited outside of Canada to fill certain specialized jobs in engineering and geosciences. It is harder for non-Alberta residents and non -Canadians to land laborer and heavy equipment / machinery positions because workers are more readily available.

The number one place to start your oil sands job search is with the companies operating in Alberta. Some of the major employers are:

Finally, for many jobs you must have specialized training, education, or certifications in order to get hired. All the information you need on this topic is available on the Government of Alberta website at: www.tradesecrets.org
