The energy sector is a major employer in BC. Although labour or trades-based jobs make up a large chunk of employment, other types of skilled and talented workers are required. Other types of jobs may be available for large-scale energy projects in BC. Here are some options to consider if you want to work in the energy sector.
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE)
HSE officers focus on regulations and enforcement and ensure that all teams and workers follow safety protocols. Common tasks may include inspecting personal protective equipment (PPE) such as reflective vests, hardhats, and harnesses. Additionally, they are responsible for compliance with environmental protection requirements.
LNG Canada also hires paramedics; these individuals typically have extensive first-aid training tailored to an industrial setting.
Logistics & Coordination
Large-scale energy projects are large and complex, with many moving parts. Construction timelines depend on the accurate and efficient delivery of materials, which requires a lot of coordination behind the scenes. Logistics can include shipping, receiving, scheduling, transport, and more.
Additionally, transport and accommodation arrangements apply to some employees. Camp and travel coordinators are the professionals who ensure accurate scheduling and adequate rooms for workers.
