Dutchy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Doing this out of hope more than anything, but you are a good bunch of people on here so I am hoping someone might have some info. I have a buddy who is looking to work up north (lives in london and wants to maintain it as a base). I have tried to help him look for jobs, but apart from the odd job on the HRDC website, we are clueless as to what companies operate up North. I am talking about mining etc, he has an excavator licence. Could anybody enlighten us to what the main mining companies (or anything else) up north are? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Doug. P.S, I haven't been fishing and won't be until bass opener, but I continue to live vicariously through all the reports on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys. He will do any kind of work, mining, construction you name it. Really no jobs down in London and he is starting to get into that depressive funk..... I really appreciate your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Here's a list of companies in Thunder Bay. Go to each of their websites and see whats available. http://www.thunderbay.ca/Assets/CEDC/docs/Major+Employers+-+opens+a+new+window.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Check into the Seegmiller Group of companies. They are located in Kitchener but have recently bought out several smaller companies in the North. Last year they bought the company I was working for called Bruman Construction and Leasing. This year they successfully bid on a 17 million dollar job to repair and resurface part of Hiughway 11 N around Sundridge. They will definately need machine operators. Also try Kirkland Gold Inc. in Kirkland Lake, and Au Rico Gold in Matachewan. There are tons of mines in the Kirkland Lake, Larder Lake areas and also around Timmins.
