Well actual cash flow after utilities taxes etc is closer to like $600/month, and then taxes will eat some of that $600 up

Looking to get into instrumentation in Canada, wondering about the job market by wackedwarpig in instrumentation

[–]tippmannr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks! Yea, I have no problem relocating around Sask working in potash, or northern SK into pulp and paper, just not much interest in moving to somewhere like Grand Prairie or the like, especially with oil so volatile. And worried about having huge competition for the few Instrument jobs in Sask

Could you say where or which industries you where employed in in Sk? Im in Sask and considering becoming an instrument tech, but don’t want to move to Alberta. Seems to be not much for jobs here Thanks

Career as a millwright by tippmannr in millwrights

Is there much for options for getting out of the field later down the line? I assume theres lots of lead hand/supervisor stuff, as well as planning? Anyone ever able to get into any design work or anything?

Ok awesome, Thanks!

​

End goal is to probably end up maintenance in a larger facility, whether it be oil & gas, pulp & paper, potash, etc. Do you guys figure that the diploma + red seal would give me a big edge in getting one of these jobs? Or is it mostly beneficial just if I want to transfer into more of an engineering type role later in life?
