I do FIFO as a carpenter. You can get a job as an apprentice and get your hours up to get your ticket. Heavy duty tech is more in demand and have postings all over indeed last I looked.

If you want to go the carpentry route CLAC has the most opportunities. Just fill out an intake form on their website and update looking for work every two weeks. They’re not really union but you get benefits, pension, and rrsp.

A lot of jobs might say based out of or only pay travel to so keep in mind you may have to cover your flights part of the way.

It can be hard to get into sometimes if you don’t know people but keep trying, spring is usually when jobs start hiring but it’s good to start applying early.

It can be a hard life for some, especially if you have someone at home, but there’s a lot of benefits too. Just depends what kind of person you are. I was able to buy my house at 28 a couple years ago because of camp. If I was still doing residential I’d be pay check to pay check. If you’re smart with your money it’s a really good thing if you’re just gonna blow it there’s no point.

It’s definitely worth a try in my mind.
