The Alberta oil and gas industry provides many jobs, and CNC related positions are just one of them. But there are hundreds of companies here seeking employees at the moment. The more skilled you are obviously the more valued you'd be, however many companies are willing to train for certain positions as well. There are other companies not related to oil and gas as well (like mine) with a need for CNC personnel. So it depends on what you are looking for. Some places will have repetitive, less exciting parts to produce, but these same places might offer better long term stability. It's really all up to persoanl preference and what one is looking for in a career. I'd say if you came to Calgary looking for CNC related work, there would be no reason you wouldn't have a job in a couple of days, likely the same day.

If you are looking for a job in CNC, come to Calgary Alberta Canada (Alberta in general really). There is large demand for labor in this field of work. You might not be making bike parts, but more than likely you will be hired somewhere. If you are already in Calgary looking for work, send me a PM cause we are hiring!

Paul is that you? Where the hell you been? Beginning to think you sold your bike... Reubs,
