Barney

there was a managment shuffle at SCC about the first of Feb. Adam Mayfield is in charge of the Travelers now. Unfortunately any info that Matt had has been lost. I know, dumb move on SCCs part. But it was a software glitch that dumped everything Matt had when he took his new position. Adam's number 770 255 1284 Hope this helps Barney

Mike, thanks for the app. As far as follow up goes, not sure. You could call and speak with Matt Readon. He is the Travelers Supervisor. David, We go where the work is and where the contracts are signed. That being said SCC will try and work with your needs. I have found that those employees that prove their worth to the Co (go work ethic, self starters, get er done attitude) get their needs met faster. If someone whines and bitches constantly, they ususally get tthe oportunity to be successful working for someone else. Barney

Mike, it looks like SCC is hiring for Nolfork, Richmond, and the DC area. John, I don't think we have anything in the Puget sound area. I'm think I'm the "out West" project right now Eastern WA, N. Idaho, SW OR. http://www.southerncrosscorp.com/ If any of you are interested click on the SCC web site and go to careers, the locations, then fill out the app. the application is designed to see if you are good fit for the job or if the jobs a good fit for you. once its filled out it goes into a data base that all the supervisors can access. Barney

Just an FYI, now that the new year has started, SCC will start hiring again. I know that here in WA I'll be looking for several techs. We may hire more locals but I know just about every project will be kicking off around March 1. Barney

how cool! this contract is SCC's first in Canada. Its been a fast learning curve from what I understand. The "meter swap projects" are different that the leak survey that I do. When I found out we had a project "up North" I immediately volunteered. But there was other work they needed me on here in the States. Oh well, maybe next year. By the way, Grand Praire is a beautiful area. Barney

Interesting 1st post. I'd say you're either a troll or a disgruntled ex employee. I'm not a recruiter. I've said before, this is a job, not retirement. You will sweat, get dirty, get wet and get tired. You'll be asked to go where the work is. That may not be where you want to go. Too Bad. SCC is worked based on client demand. When the client decides to sign the contract, we go to work. You are guaranteed 24 minimum hrs plus weekly per diem if the weather washes you out all week. But this is an hourly position not salary. If you can't work, or won't work, you won't get paid. As far as support goes my experience over the last 3 1/2 yrs has been the opposite. I have always been supported. From the project Mjr on up to the Pres of daily operations or the Senior VP. Any one of them is only a phone call away, and that's their personal cell #'s. this job is not for everyone. But for us it works. we've been places we probably wouldn't have gone to, met people we might have missed, and seen some wonderful sunsets. all while getting paid. Barney

hi Ali, Yes Southern Cross is hiring right now for projects in Wash, Or and N. Idaho. plus other projects across the nation. I am currently in N Utah working with 12 other techs till Nov. Sherman retired last fall so you should call and ask Brian Flynn at 800-241-5047. He is the project cord. operations mjr for all us travelers. tell em Barney sent you, not that it matters, but you can tell em anyway. Barney

Glad to see you on board Larry! Hank is good people. I worked with Hank in SLC summer of 2010 and again in Feb/March down in LA. How is it in GA? I'm still in MT, trying to get this project wrapped up. hope to be in warmer weather soon. Barney

i I have been with Southern Cross for 2 1/2 yrs. It can be challenging at times but it is rewarding. Contact Lidice. she is the head recruiter. you may also talk to Sherman Carlton. but he will more than likely refer you to Lidice. this thread is getting old and quite cumbersome. I had thought of doing an update but there is so much info here I hated to start over. the jobs are there. We need reliable help Barney

Sorry Susan, I never got a notification of your last two posts. I think Jwalker answered you questions pretty straight up. Sorry that it won't work out like you planned. I had a really busy yr with Southern Cross. I walked 1530 miles in 2010. This yr has been a little slower start partly due to vehicle breakdowns and projects spread across the country. Oklahoma to Tucson to Pueblo to Alabama. see ya down the road. I'll be the one walking down the side of the road! Barney

I trained a husband/wife team this summer in SLC. All though it is unusual for SC to hire teams they do on occasion. You must both have a vehicle and be willing to work seperately. Most often H/W teams think they can work side by side and it seldom works that way. As someone said earlier, the explosion in Cal this year has caused a lot of stir in the Nat Gas Industry. Personally, I have been working full time since I started in April of 2009.

Hey Bob, thanks for posting the info on the new project. Good friend of mine will be one of the managers on the South Carolina work. on a side note Sherman went in for a few test last week, and ended up having a couple of stints put in. all is well and he is expected back to work in a week or so. We have a 6 man team working in Salt Lake City this summer and have trained 4 new techs so far for other projects around the country. Any one still interested should contact Rich Wienert (404-569-6293)if you can't get through to Kelcy. Barney

Just an update to this conversation. Southern Cross is actively seeking travelers for their workforce. there are projects located across the country. if interested please call Rich Weinert 1-404-569-6293, 7:30-4:30 Mon-Fri. Please reference Barney when you speak to him Barney

still working. not sure where I was last time we talked. been In Tenn, Georgia, Alabama since the first of the year. will be in SW Alabama till mid March I think then off to the west. Lots of work nationwide. Call Sherman, he can elaborate. Barney
