Does Anyone Work for Teck Mining?

[skinnybitch]

Just curious if anyone in BC works for Teck Mining? They have a couple of positions in a couple of locations that have piqued my curiosity and wondering if a life change may be in order. Thanks!

Kind of funny. I was looking at that too just last week contemplating going back wrenching again. If there was only work for the wife out there I think I would try to get on sooner than later.

Same same but would need work for my husband out there too.

I assume you are probably looking at Sparwood? Teck has been looking for a long time

 

[skinnybitch]

Just can't find anyone to work in Sparwood?

Depending on what work you are looking for the pulp mill at Skookumchuck is looking for tradespeople, both full time and temps.

I went to a job fair of theres in pg last year. The recruiter told me it was legal to ride sleds in one of the towns they operate out of....thats about the only thing I can recall from that job fair other than the spongy rock truck I got lol

I did apply wanting to get on as a laborer and work into an apprenticeship but never heard back from them

Yes that is the parent company, We go by Skookumchuck Pulp. So far they seem like a decent company, willing to spend money for improvements and upgrades.

one of the teck mines is having labour issues and it could come down to a strike or lock out stay tuned

Which one?
According to their website they are looking for HD Mechs for all their operating mines. Greenhills is the only non-union one but it honestly wouldn't matter to me which one I went to.

Biggest thing is getting the wife a job. She is a certified OH&S grad from U of A fresh out of school and can't find a job anywhere as a safety admin or safety advisor. Everyone wants like 2 or more years experience and a valid DL which she doesn't have even though she has worked in the trades and as a medic, safety watch, and a couple other similar positions for the last 7 years. Frustrating for her.

Line Creek is the mine that could go out but time will time. and yes they are looking for HD mechanics

Hard to get Hired if you have a Local Address. Lived there until 06 and applied every second year from 96 till then with no call. Moved to GP Oct 06 never applied again but got a call in Summer of 09!!

If you are thinking the experience part is holding her back, get her to fill out an application for a heavy hauler position. The training is awesome with the simulators and that way she can get her foot in the door. She may get a job quicker than you, hahahaha

I dunno. She scares me driving a shopping cart around the grocery store.

if I remember correctly, if you dont have a valid drivers license they wont allow you to operate a haul truck.

Man that would be a really stupid rule. " so I see you drive a PT cruiser in your personal life? Welcome Aboard, you start Monday! Now this truck is around 250-300 tons heavier than your car, but if you hold a class five drivers licence you'll be just fine". LOL!
