Safety above all else: Our commitment
It is important that everyone coming to our sites understands our safety expectations. Safety is our collective responsibility, and it requires all of us to work together to know and most importantly, understand the safety processes in place.
Like many other companies, we have had to manage the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the workplace. Rest assured, over the last 20 months we have monitored and adjusted protocols to ensure the people working on our sites can do so safely. We have reduced our workforce numbers where possible so only essential workers supporting our operations are at our sites and those who can work from home, do so.
Precautions are being taken to ensure health and safety on all transportation to Suncor sites, including increased cleaning and sanitization protocols and reducing the number of passengers on buses at some locations.
In lodges, we have worked with our service providers to increase the frequency and intensity of cleaning and have moved to full-service cafeterias and individually packaged items to reduce touchpoints and interactions.
To help stop the spread, Suncor requires everyone who works on our sites to keep up to date on our ongoing pandemic response. To learn more, visit our COVID-19 section. Knowing the safety protocols in place will help to keep you and your coworkers safe.

Working with our contractors: What people are saying
The best part about working as a Heavy Equipment Operator is time – something that’s very precious. To be able to work somewhere with a set schedule where you have multiple days off in a row is something I wish everyone could experience. Syncrude is a family – I get to come to work with my family and spend time off with my other family.
As an HEO, the new challenges you face moves you up on your progression ladder. The real satisfaction is helping others become successful in their career paths and there is really no greater feeling than that!
As a Utility Operator, I get to run all kinds of different gear and no two shifts are the same. It is so rewarding to know every day is going to be an exciting new experience!
The best part of working as a Heavy Equipment Technician is the opportunity to learn new things, the work schedule and environment, and off-site and on-site support. Everyone has a voice and everyone’s opinion matters.
