The Opportunity

Matrix HR is recruiting on behalf of an established client that has provided exceptional medical and firefighting services at remote work sites across Western Canada for over 25 years. As the client continues to expand its experienced team, Matrix HR seeks talented Advanced Care Paramedics (ACPs) / Firefighters for two opportunities at remote industrial sites in Christina Lake and Foster Creek, Alberta. This is an excellent opportunity to combine advanced medical care with firefighting and emergency response in an industrial setting, supporting personnel safety and well-being at remote work sites.

For emergency response professionals who enjoy rotational travel work, value teamwork, and seek competitive compensation and ongoing professional development, these positions offer an attractive combination of meaningful work, travel support, camp accommodations, and long-term career potential.

Our client seeks to fill these positions as soon as possible. Permanent, full-time employment is preferred, although qualified candidates interested in casual opportunities may also be considered.
