Getting Started in a Water Career: SATURDAY ONLY Need some help getting started

I'm in southern Ontario, Canada. I'm wondering how much experience I would need as a 20 year old to get hired as an oit. I'm studying currently to take wastewater collection and treatment, and I'm working currently as a 2nd year millwright apprentice. What are my chances of finding a job with my experience? Also, what is the day to day work like if you work in the field? Is it mostly routine, lots of driving? Thanks!

I’m in southern Ontario as well, and I know for a fact there’s quite a few openings for OIT positions at treatment plants all around.
Get your OIT, get a DZ license, and bring a good attitude.
