Working Conditions:
Employees will be exposed to the elements and will be working in various weather conditions. Temperatures can range from extreme heat to cool and rainy conditions, air quality can be greatly affected by wildfires (smoke, ash, dust etc.). Employees can be exposed to a wide variety of shift types; from 10 day long shifts on with 4 days off; 14-day long shifts; or even on an as-needed, on-call basis. The terrain can be quite challenging at times as well as very remote, and air quality surrounding wildfires is often very poor.
Living Conditions:
Work time will be spent at the location of a wildfire, which will result in employees travelling to different areas in B.C and Alberta. Accommodations can consist of hotels & motels, campsites, trailers, or logging camps. Because this is a field position, you will be spending most of your time in the field and often, away from home. Office time will be minimal. When staying in a remote camp, everybody is expected to pitch in and make camp life better for the whole crew.
