Ovintiv Oil & Gas Job Vacancies (Artificial Lift Technician)
Ovintiv is one of North America’s oldest oil and natural gas producers. Our roots go back to the late 1800s when workers for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) drilling a water well discovered natural gas. We opted to make use of this newly discovered resource. In 1884, CPR drilled the first producing gas well in Alberta, Canada, to supply railway buildings with natural gas. That well was in use for about 50 years.
Innovation has been the driving force behind Ovintiv’s evolution. For decades, we have been at the forefront of oil and natural gas exploration and development. Ovintiv was among the first in the oil and natural gas industry to use slant drilling techniques on a large scale to drive performance. From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, we credited our industry leading position to continuing advancements in slant drilling. These techniques enabled the use of multi-well pads and better targeting.Since the early 2000s, Ovintiv has focused on North American “resource plays,” a term it coined for unconventional resources locked deep in tight sands and shales. In 2007, Ovintiv’s culture of knowledge sharing led to the transfer of horizontal drilling techniques, first employed in the Barnett Shale of Texas, to Canada’s Montney formation, where it was successfully refined and returned to Texas.
At Ovintiv, our products fuel the world through safe, affordable, and reliable energy.
We are proud of our purpose, and attracting the right people is the key to its success. As an employer, we recognize your potential and professional aspirations, and are committed to your career development. We offer employees an inclusive work environment with highly competitive compensation, benefits, and flexibility—including a market-leading vacation/time-off program and the 1st and 3rd Fridays off each month.
Ovintiv’s workplace culture is built upon our foundational values of One, Agile, Driven and Innovative, and we are relentlessly committed to safe and sustainable operations. We value the opportunity to engage and collaborate in person, believing this is best cultivated through our in-office environment. We drive societal progress by valuing our workforce, strengthening the communities we call home and respecting the rights of all.
