Location: Wherever the problem is in Manitoba (and sometimes across Western Canada — we get around)
Keep Your Cool. Fix the Chaos. Cash in When You Nail It.
Let’s be real — refrigeration isn’t glamorous… until everything breaks and suddenly you’re the most significant person on site.
At Gateway Mechanical, we’re looking for Journeyman & Apprentice Refrigeration Technicians who know their stuff, don’t panic under pressure, and maybe even enjoy the challenge (just a little).
If you like variety, hate boredom, and take pride in doing the job right the first time — you’ll fit in just fine.
Who We Are (Quick Version — No Fluff)
- Around since 1968 (we know what we’re doing)
- Largest HVAC & Refrigeration service provider in Western Canada
- 40,000+ service calls a year — yeah, we’re busy
- Local crews backed by serious technical brainpower
Translation: You won’t be stuck guessing. You’ll have support when you need it — and room to run when you don’t.
The Gig
This role isn’t just service. And it’s not just projects.
It’s both — because doing one all the time gets boring.
You’ll:
- Jump between service calls and project installs
- Fix what’s broken
- Build what’s new
- Figure things out when they don’t make sense (because they won’t always)
One day you’re saving a grocery store’s product. Next day you’re installing a brand-new system like a boss.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Diagnose issues like a detective (minus the trench coat)
- Repair and maintain commercial & industrial HVACR systems
- Install and retrofit equipment — clean, compliant,
and done right
- Read blueprints without pretending you understand them
- Keep your paperwork tight (yes, it matters)
- Show customers you know your stuff without talking in circles
Let’s Talk Projects (aka Where You Can Shine)
We don’t just want bodies on-site — we want people who take ownership.
Project work = opportunity to earn more
If your projects are:
- ✅ Safe
- ✅ On time
- ✅ On budget
You get rewarded. Simple as that.
No gimmicks — just recognition for doing solid work.
What Makes You “That Tech”
You:
- Don’t wait around to be told what to do
- Can troubleshoot without spiraling
- Show up on time (it’s not optional)
- Communicate clearly — no guessing games
- Actually care about safety (and your fingers)
- Know when to ask for help — and when not to
You’ll Need
- ✅ Journeyman Cert (or indentured Apprentice)
- ✅ Supermarket experience — big plus here
- ✅ 2+ years experience
- ✅ Ability to handle on-call rotation without disappearing
- ✅ Valid Class 5 license + decent driving record
Bonus points if you’ve got:
- Gas ticket
- Safety certs (First Aid, WHMIS, CSTS, etc.)
- Fall Protection, AWP, H2S (you know the drill)
Why Gateway?
Because:
- You won’t be bored
- You’ll actually grow your skills
- You’ll work with people who know what they’re doing
- And when you perform — it pays off
The Bottom Line
If you:
- Fix problems instead of walking away from them
- Take pride in your work (even the messy jobs)
- Like a mix of service calls and building projects
- And want to be part of a team that actually pulls its weight…
