About the Position
๐ Opportunity: Bouchier โ one of the larger Indigenous-owned contractors in the oil sands โ is hiring Lead Hands to run mine shovel maintenance and cleaning crews at the CNRL Horizon site, on a standard 14-day-on/14-day-off rotation with paid flights out of Edmonton or Calgary.
๐ง The Role: Oversees and personally participates in mining shovel maintenance and cleaning; maintains safety standards across the maintenance crew; coordinates day-to-day maintenance tasks on heavy mining shovels; supports broader equipment maintenance operations at the Horizon site.
๐ CanadaCampJobs Take: This is a step-up role โ Lead Hand rather than a standard crew position โ so it fits someone who's already done shovel maintenance work and is ready to start directing a crew rather than just being on one. Bouchier's scale in the oil sands means steady, ongoing work rather than a short-term project.
โ
Best Fit: Ideal for workers with prior mining shovel maintenance experience ready to step into a lead role. Ideal for candidates with a Class 5 licence and Air Brakes endorsement. Ideal for people who can pass a clean 5-year driver abstract check. Ideal for workers comfortable with 14/14 and flying out of Edmonton or Calgary. Ideal for candidates already holding CSO and WHMIS 2015 certifications. Not a fit for anyone without prior heavy mining equipment maintenance experience โ this is a lead role, not entry-level.
