Job description
Level Up Your Welding Career: Skilled 2nd-Year Apprentice Needed
Location: Thorsby, AB (Skip rush hour! You should live within an easy 40-minute run to the facility).

Wage: $26.00 – $28.00/hr start + performance bonuses and substantial overtime potential.

Logged roughly 2,000 hours or bring sharp work habits? Pick up the torch here.

Advantages
Permanent Four-Day Schedule: Clock in Monday through Thursday and keep your Fridays open. Savor consistent 3-day weekends to camp, hunt, fish, or knock out home builds.

Unlimited Overtime: Never judge this role by standard wages. Generous extra shifts enable hard workers to take home impressive earnings weekly.

Real Fabrication Work: Log valuable bluebook experience on major structural assemblies rather than burning hours on basic grinding tasks.

Full Benefits & Year-Round Work: Enjoy extensive medical and dental coverage, company tools, paid leave, and steady employment all season long.

Responsibilities
Heavy Wire Welding: Deposit sound FCAW and MCAW beads on large-scale steel structures side by side with experienced tradespeople.

Structural Steel Assembly: Interpret detailed fabrication blueprints to assemble columns, towers, and heavy frames with exact precision.

Qualifications
Apprenticeship Status: Registered 2nd-Year Welder Apprentice in Alberta holding credentials in excellent standing.

Experience Level: Approximately 2,000 credited hours alongside true fabrication floor experience in busy production plants.

Core Welding Skills: Solid capability executing FCAW, MCAW, or wire-feed methods across heavy structural steel members.

Commute Radius: Living within a 40-minute radius of Thorsby, AB with reliable daily transportation ready.

Bonus Advantage: Current CWB welding certifications will push your file to the very top of our review pile!

Summary
Stop stalling out with employers that treat you like labor. Come run with a crew where you stack real hours toward your journey card.
