What are job prospects in Canada like for graduates?
(OP)
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone had some advice on the subject of employment prospects for process engineers in Canada. I'm in Ireland at the moment and I'm considering all my options.
I hear Alberta is the place to be but I'd like to hear some opinions on the subject :)
Obviously, I'm looking towards the petrochemical industry here. Oil sands, etc.
My qualifications are:
B.Eng (Hons) Chemical/Process Engineering (2:1);2009
MSc Sustainable Energy Systems; 2010
Under 1 year work experience (Technical Intern - ConocoPhillips)

At the entry level, I wouldn't hold my breath, but you never know. Best of luck to you- just don't curse Canada if it doesn't work out.

Alberta, BC, Sask, NB, Nlfd, and NS are all areas with lots of oil/gas activities. Canada is coming out of this recession, and the oil and gas industry will continue to grow.
You mentioned you are with ConocoPhillips. Perhaps you can look in their internal listings for positions in Canada and apply through that channel.

Shell and ExxonMobil would also be worth looking into.
