There is room for advancement here. I started as a janitor at Syncrude in October 2002 then moved to the Finance team about a year later. We’ve had operators move into supervisory and management roles. Labourers have trained for operator and mechanic positions. The possibilities are endless.

Acden has helped me progress in my career by answering all the questions I have. And it’s a lot of questions. They have helped me learn mechanics as a whole and understand the bigger picture. I learn as much as I can. The team is great, the people are great. It’s not even a team, it’s a family.
