Energy services company serving Alberta and Saskatchewan seeking an experienced, capable, and highly self managed Bookkeeper/Office Manager to join our organization on a long-term basis.
This is a key position within our company and requires an individual who demonstrates mature professional
judgment, exceptional communication skills, advanced critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities, personal
accountability, discretion, and a high degree of independence.
The successful candidate will be someone who takes ownership of their responsibilities, anticipates what
needs to be done, and can confidently manage competing priorities without requiring continuous direction or
supervision.
Documentation cannot be allowed to accumulate or be completed retrospectively. Records, reporting
requirements, fleet information, financial documentation, employee information, and operational files must
remain current as part of the normal daily workflow.
The successful candidate must therefore demonstrate an exceptional ability to prioritize, track, follow through,
meet deadlines, and independently manage multiple ongoing responsibilities.
Professional Attributes
• Mature and professional judgment with a high level of discretion and confidentiality
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Advanced critical-thinking, analytical, and problem-solving abilities
• Exceptional organizational, task-management, and time-management skills
• A high degree of personal accountability and attention to detail
• The ability to work independently and be fully self-managed
• Strong follow-through and a commitment to completing tasks accurately and on time
• The ability to identify priorities and act on them without waiting for direction
• Confidence communicating with ownership, employees, clients, vendors, accountants, government
agencies, and other external stakeholders
• The ability to manage several competing priorities in a fast-paced operational environment
• A strong sense of urgency while maintaining accuracy and professionalism
• Adaptability and the ability to respond appropriately when operational priorities change
• A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership of the administrative function
• Reliability, consistency, sound judgment, and professional integrity
Hours & Work Environment
The regular position is Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week.
However, candidates must understand that we operate within the energy services and transportation
industries, where operational requirements do not always occur within traditional office hours.
The successful candidate must have a reasonable degree of flexibility and responsiveness when time-sensitive
operational or administrative matters arise outside regular office hours.
This does not mean routinely working extended hours; rather, we require someone who understands the nature
of the industry and recognizes that payroll, fleet, client, employee, compliance, or operational matters may
occasionally require timely attention.
We are specifically looking for a candidate interested in becoming a long-term, sustainable member of the
organization who values stability, accountability, and taking ownership of their position.

The Person We Are Looking For
This position is best suited to an experienced professional who is comfortable being trusted with significant
responsibility and autonomy.
You should be someone who can walk into the office, assess priorities, organize your workload, and identify
what requires attention.
You understand that excellent administration means that records are current, deadlines are anticipated rather
than missed, outstanding items are followed through to completion, and Ownership can rely on the information
being accurate when it is needed.
You communicate clearly, ask appropriate questions when clarification is genuinely required, exercise sound
judgment when it is not, and recognize when an issue needs to be escalated to Ownership.
Above all, we are looking for a capable, dependable, self-directed professional who wants to establish
themselves in the position and contribute to the company over the long term.

current, accurate, and readily accessible documentation at all times.
