About GrizzlyTrek Group Ltd.

GrizzlyTrek invests in our people, relationships, and partners, ensuring motivated and ready-to-work individuals meet job opportunities that foster lasting success. We work across Canada in mining, construction, oil and gas, turnarounds, and shutdowns. Dedicated to sustainable employment, we emphasize career opportunities and empowerment for Indigenous communities across Canada. Join us and contribute to building a more inclusive future.

About the Internship

Alberta’s energy sector needs thousands of new Class 1 and Class 3 operators over the next decade, and TRACKS is built to help Indigenous workers step into these careers and stay in them. This is a paid internship that leads to a permanent job. You earn a real operator wage from day one, and operator roles in this sector commonly pay around $85,000 per year.
Careers in Energy projects the province will need 2,500 new drivers by 2035. These are among the best long-term, well-paid jobs in Alberta. Whether you already hold your Class 1 or Class 3 licence or you are ready to work toward an operator career, we want to hear from you, and we will help you find the right fit.

The Careers

Through our energy sector partners, the internship can lead to operator roles such as:
  • Hydrovac operator: safe excavation using high-pressure water and vacuum trucks
  • Bulk hauling and transport: moving fluids, water, sand, and equipment to and from sites
  • Vacuum and water truck operation: operating vacuum and water trucks on and around active sites
  • Fracturing (frac) operations: running and supporting equipment on active well sites
  • Service rig crews: well servicing and maintenance
  • And more: additional operator roles across the energy services sector

What Makes This Different

You are not on your own. TRACKS wraps support around you from day one:
  • Training before you start, so you arrive ready
  • A trained mentor and supervisor at your workplace
  • A workplace prepared to welcome and support Indigenous employees
  • A dedicated coordinator who helps with transportation, childcare, technology, PPE, safety tickets, and anything else that could get in the way
  • Check-ins at 3, 6, and 12 months to keep you on track
  • A clear path to a permanent spot on the crew

Who We Are Looking For

We want to hear from Indigenous applicants who:
  • Want a long-term career operating equipment in the energy sector
  • Are ready to show up, learn, and grow on the job
  • Want real support behind them every step of the way
A Class 1 or Class 3 licence is an asset. If you do not have one yet but you are serious about this path, reach out anyway.

Who Is Behind TRACKS

TRACKS is funded by the Government of Alberta and delivered by Enserva, GrizzlyTrek (Indigenous-owned), and Opimoyaso Group (Indigenous-led). It was built with Indigenous leadership, for Indigenous workers.

Placements begin Summer 2026. Spots are limited, so reach out soon.
