Grow your career with us

You are on a journey to join an exciting Company and be part of our success story to improve lives by developing resources sustainably. Here we offer you an exciting and dynamic work environment and will equip you with the know-how that will stretch and enhance your career journey.

Responsibilities:

Contract Field Operator

THE COMPANY

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and with operations near Fort St. John, British Columbia, Pacific Canbriam Energy Limited ("PCE") is committed to our 5Cs business philosophy of creating benefits for our Community, Country, Climate, Customer, and Company.

PCE believes that the quality of its resource is a strategic asset that differentiates the company. Early efforts to identify a scalable, low-cost supply source led to a focus in the Altares and Kobes Montney regions in northeast B.C. The Montney is a world class resource and Altares is among the highest quality areas. The region possesses a unique combination of thickness and over‑pressure, which contributes to highly efficient stacked resource development and strong well deliverability. Pacific Canbriam’s Montney resource also possesses a high liquids content and overall rock quality that translates into a highly competitive supply cost.

We believe that teamwork is the foundation of our success. We have established a culture where problem solving skills and critical thinking are highly valued. Individual technical disciplines collaborate to achieve common objectives and continuously improve results. PCE’s strategy and its culture are centred on this commitment.

PCE is committed to protecting people and the environment through responsible natural resource development. We are proud to engage in industry‑leading sustainability practices and promote continuous improvement throughout all areas of environment, social and governance (ESG) topics.

The next iteration of our integrated approach relates to the planned export of our natural gas to markets in growing economies overseas. To achieve this aim, PCE will supply B.C.’s proposed Woodfibre LNG project, which will liquefy the natural gas and load it into vessels. The natural gas will be shipped to international markets to help supply the energy the world needs.

OUR FACILITIES

Our centralized, fully sweet natural gas operation is anchored by the Altares shallow cut refrigerant plants, located approximately 124 km northwest of Fort St. John, BC near Hudson’s Hope, BC. The facility includes plant, field, and water handling divisions, supported by an in‑house maintenance department with a warehouse and shop. We generate power, recycle produced water, and produce our own fuel gas. Recent expansions have increased our processing capacity, and ongoing investments in water infrastructure support high recycling rates and sustainable water management. PCE continually enhances operations to reduce emissions and align with our growth strategy.

PCE strongly believes in sustainable development, and we are continuously implementing improvements within our operations to lower emissions.

OUR CONTRACTS

The company provides renewable one‑year contracts with competitive hourly person and truck rates, monthly travel pay compensation based on location/distance travelled and cell phone allowances. For those who are travelling to site from away, accommodations and meals are included at our private, fully catered operations camp. The facility is six years old and has amenities that include a theatre, gym, and a games room. Personnel also have their own private room with an ensuite bathroom.
