Accelerate Your Apprenticeship: 2nd-Year Welder Needed
Location: Thorsby, AB (Ditch the downtown gridlock! You must reside within a 40-minute drive of our shop).
Wage: $26.00 – $28.00 per hour, plus massive overtime opportunities
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 6:00AM - 4:30PM
...
Looking for a shop where you actually get to weld instead of just sweeping the floor? If you are tired of city gridlock, high rent, and unpredictable schedules, bring your toolbox out to Thorsby, AB. We are a tight-knit structural manufacturing facility hiring a driven Welder Apprentice. Yes, it’s a rural shop, and the base wage reflects the local market—but the endless overtime and guaranteed three-day weekends make this a highly lucrative gig for someone willing to put in the hard hours. If you have around 2,000 hours in your bluebook (or less, but with an unmatched work ethic) and live within a 40-minute drive, we want you on the floor.
Advantages
Permanent Four-Day Work Weeks: Work Monday through Thursday and get your Fridays back forever. Enjoy a permanent three-day weekend to hunt, fish, or wrench on your own projects.
Massive Overtime Potential: Don't let the base rate fool you. We have abundant overtime available for hungry apprentices who want to crush it and take home huge weekly paychecks.
Real Fabrication Hours: Get your bluebook stamped with high-value structural steel experience. You will be building massive components, avoiding the trap of grinding welds for eight hours a day.
Full Benefits & Year-Round Stability: We provide all heavy shop tools, a comprehensive benefits package, two weeks of paid time off, and year-round reliable, permanent work.
Responsibilities
Heavy-Duty Wire Feed: Master FCAW and MCAW (flat position) while laying down serious wire on heavy, industrial-grade projects alongside our veteran journeymen.
Structural Steel Fabrication: Build out massive I-beams, complex tower sections, and heavy structural frameworks from blueprints to the final product.
Precision Jig Work: Utilize custom shop jigs and master advanced standoff welding techniques to ensure every piece meets strict manufacturing tolerances.
Safety Leadership: Maintain a clean, organized bay and strictly adhere to our heavy-manufacturing safety protocols to ensure everyone goes home intact.
Qualifications
Apprenticeship Status: Active registration as an Alberta 2nd-Year Welder Apprentice.
Previous Experience: Ideally, you bring about 2,000 verified hours in your bluebook and a solid understanding of how a busy fabrication shop operates.
Technical Baseline: Solid hands-on experience running FCAW, MCAW, or MIG processes on steel.
Commute Radius: You must reside within a 40-minute driving distance of our Thorsby facility, with reliable transportation.
Bonus Asset: Active CWB tickets are a massive advantage and will immediately bump your application to the top of the pile.
Summary
Quit spinning your tires at companies that treat you like cheap labor rather than a future tradesperson. Join a dedicated crew that actually wants to see you log your bluebook hours and pass your journeyperson exams.

- Web Portal: Submit your details directly through this job posting or build a candidate profile over at www.randstad.ca.
- Email Submission: Forward a current copy of your resume straight to renee.paul@randstad.ca.
