Being an English only speaker I found there was often a communication barrier between myself and my foreman, who had only a limited amount of English. It would have been beneficial to take communication into account when assigning crew members to a supervisor. 

HSE/Human resources was on a quest looking for employees allegedly using fake trade tickets. Why they would wait until hiring to verify trade tickets was very odd, and threatening people with prosecution for fraud if they were found to be using a forged trade ticket was a very demoralizing way to conduct a job site orientation. If there is any question in regards to the validity of a trade ticket it should be done prior to hiring and arrival at the job site. 

The wages were good. Not the best, but not the worst either. 

There was an issue with theft on the site. Management didn't provide a locked box or secure area to store tools, and different crews and shifts were forced to share storage areas. Typically on a job site a crew is assigned a box or storage area that gets locked when the shift is over, and this is why. 

Overall I'd say that it's a decent job, but the culture if you're a new employee leaves a lot to be desired. It's quite cliquey, and if you're not a friend of someone in the inner circle it was a challenging place to work in my experience. Overall it felt like the long term employees were well taken care of, but everyone else was disposable.

Up until recently I worked in the oil patch. I helped build the new plants, ran my own crews, trained and became a safety advisor As work slowed down I went back on tools. 
   The last 18 months I have been doing odd construction and landscaping jobs around town and in Red Deer.
 I love the interaction with the local people here and of course all of our visitors. I take great pride in our town and it would give me great pleasure to be part of a team the helped kep it looking clean and green.

I worked my way to foreman very fast and got shafted very quickly and abruptly for no reason at all. Lied to about coming back at a certain date and not replied to when I emailed the GF. This is not the first time such a shaddy example of supervisors actions has resulted in unhappy co-workers and angry workers getting shoved out the door before they can even get a clear explanation as to what was going on at that point for this result to take place.

They CARE about their employees... in a recent personal crises, they all rallied around me to make me feel important, they even took care of me to ensure I had enough to last me until my short term disability kicked in.... I couldn't be more proud of these amazing people that I work with, the VERY BEST!

I worked 12 hour days on a 10/10 rotation. I learned how to receive materials and operate equipment including the zoom boom and forklift. Management was always helpful and provided an open door policy. The hardest part of the job was being away from home. I enjoyed the people I worked with the most.

Great rates, safe work culture, awesome employees.  I had a great experience with the company and they get consistent work in the oil sands that they offer to their employees first before hiring out.  Safe, willing to train & advance employees, good people, no problems.

They are privately owned and only think about their benefit not employee. Very protective and not fun to work with. They get rid of you as soon as they don’t need you. Not sharing any info.  Leaving you behind line and no support at all. They pay fair. 

Great coworkers but ruined by management. Toolbox meeting would consist of management making threat to fire someone. Investigation of harassment was covered up and swept under the rug. 
Great group of coworkers however were continuously being bird dogged. 

Great culture throughout the company. Hard work is rewarded and always a fun group to be around. Excellent environment to work in as you feel part of a family. From management all the way down to the new hire - everyone is respected and works toward betterment of the group

I learned alot about the oil and gas industry working for moreau Industries,  also got to do alot of hands on work that I've never had the opportunity to do before, learned how to operate alot of new equipment and how to load sea cans and other equipment aswell
