Hi wags,
Welcome to BE,I don't think there will be any difficulty for you to find
a job in Fort McMurray,however be aware that it is expensive,isolated and accomodation is hard to find there.Recently there was a
discussion on Fort McMurray and the link is provided below.

You could find crane jobs all over Canada by using the job bank site.
The jobs are updated frequently on the site Canada wide.
We are going through mining( ground and offshore drillings)and housing booms .
Have a look and see what is appropriate for you. Good luck
