Month: June 2022

Kat joined CP Services back in June 12, 2016 as a clerk with CNOOC Long Lake Site which is one of the big projects for CP Services. Her first role was mostly data entry for payroll and doing administrative task. During the pre pandemic years, Kat used to travel to Anzac from Edmonton for her 2 weeks on 2 weeks off shift.  Her hard work and determination did not go unnoticed. Having a background with Industrial Engineering, Kat has proven herself to be one of the most capable, and effective employee at CP Services. The company supported her journey and gave her the right tools and training to advance in her career. In 2019, she started training for payroll. She assisted with invoicing, payables, and other payroll related task. Because of these new tasks, she learned how to navigate through the company’s finance department. Currently, Kat is now handling the Cost Control department. Making sure every dollar that goes in and out is accounted for, and helping in making decisions for the company’s well being.

Kat is one of the senior staff at the CP Services office. She has seen how the company grew and experienced it’s resilience over uncontrollable circumstances. During the pandemic, the company has decided to send office staff home and work from there. “I really enjoy my job especially now that we work from home! We have meetings every morning. Even though we are working remotely, we are still connected with each other thanks to advanced technology!”. Office staff no longer works on 2 weeks on 2 weeks of shift. Kat mentioned she misses her 2 weeks off but still would prefer working from home regardless of the schedule. “When the company decided to have the office staff to work from home, we finally were able to have a dog we’ve been longing for”. Kat finally got the best officemate for her. A cute and very bubbly English Bulldog named Bowser!

“I am very happy to be given this opportunity. I wouldn’t have it any other way!”.

 

Joo is one of CP Services’ new hires for 2022. She is currently working as a Field Operator to one of the sites located in Anzac, Alberta. She always wanted to get more experience with hands on work and be more directly involved with the operations. When she heard about the field operator position at CP, she had no hesitation and applied. Previous to that, she worked for 4 years as a security. No wonder Joo is very dedicated and focused at her job! If there is one thing that she likes working in the trades environment, it is that everyone uses direct communication. Her and the rest of the team are committed to get the work done!

When Joo was asked what she thinks about the support provided by CP Services for her career, she responded “I got clear instructions from CP from the very beginning. During onboarding, both my admin and supervisor made sure I had the right information to get the things done properly and in a timely manner. It continued when I got on site. My foreman and coworkers had a lot of experience and trained me. Everyone was always there to answer my questions and review anything I wanted. I do think I have a very good and efficient support system.”. The company is very grateful to have someone like Joo in the team. A very hardworking and efficient person who always shows up and gets the job done. Everyone is excited to see her grow and learn more skills for her trade.

Joo loves working in shifts. On the last day of rotation, she tends to plan millions of things to do but usually 99% of the time, it gets alternated by her kids! Although some plans may not push through, it is still worth every second since she can spend her day offs with her kids. Her family loves to go places so it is very nice that everything works out perfectly with her schedule.
