Trades and operators

At Suncor, we have some of the biggest equipment in the world — and tradespeople and operators play a big role. Highly skilled workers build, operate and maintain our facilities. We have the best opportunities for tradespeople, power engineers and heavy-equipment operators. Why? Because we do it all — mining, in-situ production, upgrading and refining.

Operate and maintain the widest range of state-of-the-art equipment. The very latest hydraulic shovels, cable shovels, crawler tractors, loaders, haul trucks, graders and backhoes are all at Suncor. And when new technology becomes available, we get it first.

Big jobs. Big pride. Big team spirit. Come and work with us.
