Industrial Waste Facility Operator
About The Position
GrizzlyTrek is seeking one Facility Operator to run an oilfield waste landfill for our valued client in Fort McMurray, AB. This is an industrial waste facility serving oil and gas, not a municipal garbage landfill. You own the day to day operation, from receiving and tracking loads through permits, compliance, and plant balancing, on a 14 and 14 rotation. This is a regulated oilfield waste facility in the Fort McMurray region, taking drilling waste, contaminated soil, tank bottoms, sludges, and produced water from upstream and oil sands operations. It is not garbage. No household trash, no curbside collection, no residential traffic. Trucks and vac units come through the gate all day, and everything that arrives or leaves is weighed, manifested, tracked, and logged against the site's operating approval and AER Directive 058.

- Facility, plant, or field operations experience in oil and gas, industrial waste, or water treatment
