We're investing in cobotics and expanding our fiber laser capacity - if you want to grow your skills alongside the equipment, this is your shop.

Your Growth Path (This Isn't Just a Job)

Year 1: Master robotic cell operation, fixture setup, and QC documentation

Year 2: Cross-train on Cold Metal Transfer and fiber laser welding. Begin robot path programming

Year 3+: Cell leadership, fixture design, or specialized process development

What We're Investing In

Cobotics cells (collaborative robots)-expanding capacity

Expanded fiber laser welding systems

Continuous process improvement programs where YOUR ideas get implemented

You’ll work with equipment that's constantly evolving. If learning excites you, so will this role.

Equipment You’ll Work With

Robotic IPG fiber laser welding cells

Fronius iWave TIG with Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) for zero-spatter thin material work

CRS & aluminum sheet-metal assemblies and jigs/fixtures

Role Details

Location: Langley, BC

Schedule: Mon-Fri, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM (30-min lunch, two paid 10-min breaks)

Environment: Focused, professional floor with modern equipment

Compensation: $32.00/hour starting wage + full benefits

Pay Progression, Promotions & Training

Pay raises are based on demonstrated welding quality, robotic cell capability, programming/process-improvement skill, reliability, and safe production scope - not automatic seniority or tenure alone

This position is open to promotion into cell leadership, robot programming, QC, fixture design, or specialized process development as capability grows

Training is supplied in-house for robotic cell operation, laser/CMT procedures, fixture setup, QC documentation, and cross-training on evolving equipment

Key Responsibilities

Produce high-quality, repeatable welds to spec (CRS & aluminum)





Operate robotic welding cells -fixture alignment, basic teaching, path optimization

Hold tight tolerances; complete QC checks and documentation on every lot

Contribute to process improvement - we implement good ideas

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation

Who Thrives Here

Welders with sheet-metal experience who want to level up with robotics and laser systems

Problem-solvers who see "consistent results" as an optimization challenge, not just task execution

Blueprint readers ready to understand both weld symbols AND programming logic

Learners excited by new technology - we're upgrading equipment and need people who want to grow with it

Nice to Have

Forklift ticket

CWB tickets/certs

Experience with robotic welding or automated cells

Hours & Culture

Mon-Fri, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM (30-min lunch, two paid 10-min breaks)

Punctuality matters - consistent on-time starts are required

Focused, professional environment; respectful team culture

Physical & Safety

Standing for most of the shift

Heavier lifting required at times (proper technique and assist devices)

PPE compliance; follow laser safety, fume control, and hot-work procedures

Skills Assessment (~30 min)

Aluminum and CRS joints (lap/corner/T/butt) in common sheet gauges

Demonstrate distortion control and basic fixture use

Simple robot path touch-up or fixture alignment (if applicable)

We supply all PPE for the assessment

Candidates may provide prior photos/videos of their work (strongly preferred)

What Success Looks Like (After Ramp-Up)

High first-pass yield on standard parts

Consistent bead profile and penetration to spec

Active contribution to process improvement discussions

On-time lot completions with accurate QC logs

Advantages

$32.00/hour starting wage

Full health benefits package

Paid vacation & stat holidays (per BC standards)

Ongoing professional development and cross-training

Clear advancement paths into programming, QC, or leadership

Modern work environment
