Tower company in the Edmonton area requires labourers who will aspire to become riggers, lead hand riggers and eventually foremen. Rigging experience is not necessary; however common sense and a desire to learn is. A healthy respect for heights is a requirement. In addition, candidates must be able to speak and understand English for safety reasons. At this time our company is unable to facilitate or sponsor immigration into Canada.
Successful candidates must be located near the Edmonton area, have reliable transportation to Nisku, or are planning relocation on their own to the area. The company does not pay for relocation.

- be willing to work in all types of weather, including cold, snow, wind, rain and heat
- be physically fit, able to lift heavy objects
- ability to work with power hand tools
- work in a safe manner and never jeopardize the safety of their fellow crew members

Pay upon hire is based on certifications held by candidate. Our company will provide paid training if necessary, including (but not limited to): CSTS-2020, WHMIS 2015, First Aid & Level C CPR, and Fall Protection.
After 3 months, successful candidates will be signed on to the health benefits plan which the company pays for, and provided with a clothing allowance. As well as a possible pay increase based on performance.
