  • The work is indoors in a safe, clean production environment alongside a diverse team.
  • Regular hours are Monday to Friday, 6:30AM to 3:00PM, with opportunities for overtime and occasional travel to customer sites.

You Will Be a Great Fit If You Have

  • Registered as a 1st to 3rd year Plumbing or Pipefitting Apprentice.
  • Experience working with CPVC and PVC piping, with strong attention to detail. Much of the work is visible, and training will be provided.
  • Experience with mechanical mounting of components such as pumps, including precise alignment.
  • Experience using hand tools and power tools (all tools will be provided).
  • Excellent housekeeping skills and safe work practices.
  • Strong teamwork skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to produce high-quality work.
  • Good attention to detail, organization, and time management skills.
