Employee & Contractor Opportunities

Travel Across Canada | Above-Ground Storage Tank Projects

Prolium Industries is hiring experienced Tank Welders for above-ground storage-tank (AGST) repair, maintenance, and upgrade projects across Canada.

Our crews perform specialized field work on tank shells, roofs, bottoms and bottom plates, nozzles, structural components, stairs, platforms, and related steelwork. This is hands-on tank maintenance and repair work in active industrial environments—well suited to welders who enjoy varied field projects, practical problem-solving, and seeing repairs through from mobilization to completion.

This opportunity is focused on specialized AGST work rather than short-term pipeline or mainline-welding spreads. We are looking for welders who want to contribute to high-quality tank projects, work with a strong field team, and build lasting experience in a specialized trade.

We welcome applications for both Employee Tank Welder and Contractor Tank Welder opportunities.

Why Join Prolium?

- Work on specialized AGST repair, maintenance, and upgrade projects across Canada.
- Build experience on varied tank components including shells, roofs, bottoms, nozzles, stairs, platforms, and structural steel.
- Join a safety-first field team that values quality workmanship, reliability, and practical problem-solving.
- Work alongside experienced supervisors, welders, labour crews, safety personnel, and quality personnel.
- Share knowledge and help mentor apprentices in the field.
- Access project-based work with ongoing opportunities across Canada.
- For employee welders: build a long-term career without the capital cost or maintenance responsibility of owning a welding service truck.

What You’ll Do

- Perform SMAW/FCAW welding on AGST components in accordance with approved procedures, drawings, and quality requirements.
- Perform air-arc gouging and complete out-of-position welding in field conditions.
- Repair and modify tank shells, roofs, bottoms and bottom plates, nozzles, structural components, stairs, platforms, and related steelwork.
- Complete fit-up, layout, welding, grinding, buffing, gouging, oxy-fuel cutting, and other steelwork required to support tank repairs.
- Read and interpret drawings, blueprints, weld details, work packages, and field instructions.
- Safely use welding machines, grinders, cutting equipment, and other normal welding and fabrication tools.
- Work in and around confined spaces when required.
- Participate in daily toolbox meetings, hazard assessments, safety meetings, and quality processes.
- Work with the crew to deliver secure, productive, high-quality work on schedule.
- Safely lift and handle materials up to 50 lb.
