You will also need to wear clothes under your coveralls. We recommend layers of cotton blend sweat pants, sweatshirts and sweaters in combination with long underwear and t-shirts. Wool socks are also recommended. Absolutely no hooded sweatshirts or polyester clothing can be worn on any worksites.
What kind of training will I receive and how much does the Company pay for?
All new employees are required to have H2s and first aid upon hire. Any additional training required by the company will be provided including recertification training. This is conditional on the completion of 12 month of continuous employment, if this stipulation is not met the cost of training will recovered. In addition all training sessions will be paid at a pre determined training rate.
What is “Spring Break Up” and how does it affect me?
Spring break up is when the rigs cannot move to the next work site because road bans are in place. Until road bans are lifted, the rig is shut down and the crews are sent home.
Spring break up can last anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on weather and activity levels. It can start as early as the end of February and continue until the beginning of June.
High Arctic recognizes the financial hardship during this time and that steady work is important to our employees. While our goal is to provide consistent work, the nature of our industry can present challenges in achieving this goal. Our Steady Work and Top Up Programs are an incentive that allows our employees to earn the minimum level of income during a time where they would otherwise be looking for other work. More details will be provided during the interview stage.
