SATO Training Facility
SATO Canada: Advancing Safety and Training Excellence for Canada’s Energy Sector
Recognizing a critical gap in training within Alberta’s energy sector, Pitbull launched SATO Canada in 2021 to address the growing demand for highly skilled, safety-focused workers.
The late 2010s brought widespread market instability, resulting in a significant loss of experienced personnel from the energy industry. Compounding the challenge, strict safety regulations prohibited on-site training for entry-level workers, further exacerbating the shortage of qualified oilfield personnel. To meet this pressing need, Pitbull established SATO Canada—a purpose-built training facility unlike any other in the country.
Operators Trained to Date
A Training Facility Like No Other
SATO Canada is a one-of-a-kind organization designed to replicate an active drilling site, providing site-specific, hands-on training in a safe, controlled environment. Located on a sprawling four-acre facility, this Alberta-based centre offers specialized programs tailored to the unique demands of Canada’s oil and gas industry.
Building Canada’s Next-Generation Oilfield Workforce
SATO Canada’s innovative programs focus on developing advanced skills for key roles, including vacuum truck, water truck, and track hoe operators. By blending practical, site-based training with industry best practices, SATO is helping to cultivate a new generation of operators who are better prepared and more confident to pursue long-term careers in the energy sector.
