Japan Canada Oil Sands Limited

I enjoyed working with the staff of Japan Canada Oil Sands. 
The day started with a tool box meeting. 
 Once at my post I preformed water tests followed by rounds and readings. At any time you may have to do an isolation for maintenance and prepare a permit to work or other task as directed by Control Room Operator.
 While doing field hazard assessments with maintenance and assisting in repairs, you learn more about the equipment you are responsible for.
 The management was hands on, so you could ask questions. On the down side, because it was such a small crew management may start doing things without informing you so that would discover things going on that you were not previously informed of.
 The most enjoyable part of the job was that you could freely talk to all personnel and get to know everyone.

People were very good to work with and fun and time went by fast with them . Very safe place to work and take safety very good .A day with pro energy is safety meeting in the morning and per plan of the day and meeting and talking to people . When I started with pro I didn't know to much about sales and generators but learned a lot here so far . The hardest part of this job is never giving up and trying to stay on top . The most enjoyable part of this job is working here and when you sell something you are rewarded . it very fun..

I was with this company for 5 years, and would still be there if the project I was on hadn't ended.  I was well-compensated, treated fairly (for the most part) and accomplished a lot while having fun and enjoying my coworkers.  My project manager and manager were excellent, though my team lead was another story.  Overall a great experience, and I am very grateful for my time there.

Very tiring due to work culture.
Don't stand still for more than five minutes or you may be fired 
Management think they are running an open prison.
Great co workers.
Due to cramped conditions at sand tiger camp they have an overflow to brookwood camp 50 minutes away, makes for a very long day.
CLAC Union, the none union with no power.
Best part of job is counting the days until your days off

It's relatively a small company that everyone knows everyone. The team building activities are very active and it's very entertaining. People here are so nice and it's a pleasure to work with them. The work is rigid and it's still a growing company so things can be tough sometimes but you can always talk people through and people would listen to you.

Old School mentality Supervisors
There is new management working on changing that for the better.
Plenty of hands on experience

Good Japanese company in Canada in this size. Very friendly to their employees. Management does not fully understand Canada market. This results in overrun budget and delay. It seems that some people are not required and/or not qualified for their jobs.

It is one of the best companies I have ever worked for! 
Great pay, lots of perks work hard play hard !

Room for new opportunity, growth etc

Supportive knowledgeable management, honestly a real career 

Couldn't ask for a better place I Love it!

Management is a mess. There is no professionalism on the project whatsoever. 

The project as a whole hires anyone that is not Canadian.

The aforementioned people that are hired do not live up to their credentials.

Japan Canada Oil Sands LTD is an excellent employer. 
I spent around four and a half years working on the expansion project. The work environment was supportive, respectful and thoroughly professional.
