Description Take your Skills to the Next Shutdown – Now Hiring

Ledcor is looking for Journeyperson Rig Welders to join our team supporting major shutdowns and turnarounds across Alberta’s industrial facilities.

If you thrive in quick-paced outage environments where every hour counts, this is your opportunity to be part of critical work that keeps plants running safely and efficiently. From isolations and tie‑ins to complex maintenance scopes, you’ll play a key role in getting units back online—on schedule and without compromise.

Support critical path activities while maintaining productivity in a fast-paced, schedule‑driven shutdown environment

Work within strict permit, isolation, confined space, and LOTO requirements to ensure safe work execution

Perform fit‑up verification, welding, gouging, grinding, and associated fabrication tasks as required

Maintain high-quality workmanship while working extended shifts and compressed outage schedules

Participate in FLHAs, toolbox meetings, safety programs, and site‑specific orientation requirements

Collaborate effectively with supervision, inspectors, pipefitters,



and other trades to meet shutdown milestones

Ensure all welding activities meet applicable client, regulatory, and quality assurance standards

Qualifications:

Registered Journeyperson Welder certification (Red Seal preferred)

Valid Class 5 driver's license with a reliable welding rig and required tooling

Proven experience as a Rig Welder in shutdowns, turnarounds, maintenance, or construction projects within oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, or heavy industrial environments

Current CWB, B-Pressure, or other applicable welding certifications considered a strong asset

Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, weld procedures, and fabrication documents

Experience working on time‑sensitive projects with changing priorities and tight deadlines

Strong understanding of industrial safety practices, permits, hazard assessments, and LOTO procedures

Demonstrated commitment to safety, quality, reliability, and procedural compliance
