Canada-First: O & G/Tech Opportunities


REALLY URGENT!!!

File #: A2033BD Applications Engineer/Specialist - Canadian Gas Compression Calgary

Just like some of the other opportunities listed, the ONLY reason this position is listed here in the first place is because...well,....simply put, the Canadian gas compression industry can be separated in to the good and not so good group of professionals, that are compressed in to a small group of companies; some of them world class. And frankly, MOST of the individuals in the game are well rewarded and their existence jealously guarded. And, we really only want the folks from the good group. So...we thought that...maybe... you're looking here at this opening either because you've been sizing up the Packager you work for now and want to make a quiet move, or you're a strong technically competent individual with aspirations to expand your application engineering prospects, moving perhaps in to a sales role eventually where you heard that you could make a lot of money and buy your sweetie a KompressorTM some day. (If you don't know your compressors from your Kompressor's, check out this link. Kompressors Are Us. One you could sit in and be the envy of your neighborhood; the other, sitting in it would really hurt.) Either way, to make it in to a sales engineering role you need to have the opportunity to move in to such a role and you need to have built your foundation in the applications engineering ranks. Our client offers such a career path.
