Sometimes your work speaks for itself. That was certainly the case for two of SaskEnergy’s Construction team members. Both Nick Stone and Lucas Sabit found themselves applying for positions as Equipment Operators after working alongside SaskEnergy crews in their previous jobs. “I was working for a company doing horizontal directional drilling, and we frequently did jobs for SaskEnergy. The company was great to do work for — organized, efficient, professional — I really enjoyed doing the jobs for SaskEnergy,” says Nick. “When I saw the SaskEnergy job postings online I knew I’d be crazy not to...
