About this site and how it works
Oil Sands Jobs Guide is an independent guide for Alberta oil sands and camp workers covering pay, hiring, certifications, rotation schedules, and camp life. It is not affiliated with Suncor, Syncrude, CNRL, Imperial, Cenovus, MEG, or any camp operator.
Alongside industry content, we compare provincially regulated online gambling operators for readers who choose to gamble off-shift. See our affiliate disclosure and responsible gambling pages for the full detail on how that works and what tools are available if it becomes a problem. See how to check an operator's registration yourself.
Where do our industry facts come from?
Industry facts and salary figures are drawn from public sources (Alberta government occupation profiles, Job Bank, and industry research) where possible and are labelled "estimate, unconfirmed" where they have not yet been independently re-confirmed. See individual blog posts for cited sources.
