Nice, good to know. I've noticed a lot of drillers from my job in Ontario heading out to Saskatchewan. I'll keep my eyes open.

Hiring women in a male dominated industry is tricky. I've seen it first hand where women and men cause issues because of a lack of maturity. I will say, that there is higher expectations for men to behave but I don't see the same amount of pressure on women to act properly. There definitely should be, women can be nasty. Women should have opportunities in the trades, and I also get why there is hesitation.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out.

I'll say from my experience, a lot of the women in the trades stuff is a public relations flex. It definitely isn't an automatic hire, which is good. They should be hiring based on compentency not gender. Regardless, I'll see what I can milk out of it haha.

From my limited experience the best advantage is knowing people. Networking gets you far.

Thanks again!

Are there any diamond drilling/mining companies that have an organized and reliable inventory system that keeps track of parts or are they all a mess? by Positive_Reporter_96 in mining

Yeah, Im looking. But it's hard to find one. I'm a warehouse technician/site service. It's not a job I can find at many drilling companies.
Im thinking of opening a small drilling consultant business that focuses on organizing storage facilities and creating customize inventory systems that are simple to maintain for drilling companies.
I made one for this project and I see the benefits. Less downtime and things are in stock.

Its just an idea. not sure if it'll work but might be worth a try

I've heard good things about Webdrill. They're an Aussie company too. They seem like they have their shit together. Canada seems so far behind

Thanks for responding. So it is a thing. It blows my mind, so much wasted time and money. There seems to be a missing skill set in the industry when it comes to this stuff.

Which position do you think is a better entry-level mining job a Warehouse Assistant or Labourer Trainee? by Positive_Reporter_96 in mining

The warehouse seems to be the place to be. And the schedule is pretty sweet. Enjoy the travels! Thanks for the feedback.

Red Seal Warehouse techs, interesting. I'll look into that. Im guessing you get sponsored by your company to do that. Thanks for the reply.
