On the road

I would start by thank you for giving me the opportunity to work in such a great company my journey started on the 2 of February 2015 with BFG and since then I’m living a dream with a great management always backing the employees and listening to their needs.

They gave me the opportunity to advance in my career and putting effort to help me fulfil my duties.

I can just be thankful and I look forward to continue on this successful path.

I started my second career with BFG after my kids were full grown and independent.

They have seen my potential and encouraged me to develop it by trusting me with increasing responsibility and letting me take on and own tasks and manage a team.

BFG has provided me with growth and advancement and offers you a friendly work environment with supportive and approachable management. I am proud to be working for a highly successful Canadian company which provides a diverse and inclusive culture with awesome team members!

I joined BFG as a second level technician in 2014. Throughout my tenure with BFG, I have been provided opportunities to grow and take on new roles including becoming a technical lead and shortly after promoted to Group Field Leader which has allowed me to take on additional responsibilities and further develop my management skills.

I now lead a diverse team operating within a collaborative and friendly environment. The team works hard every day towards a common goal: ensuring that operations run smoothly.
