Sheet Metal Journeymen & Apprentices - Built Different? Prove It.
Calgary, AB | Projects Across Alberta | Gateway Mechanical
Letâs cut the polite job-posting nonsense.
Weâre not looking for people who need babysitting. Weâre not looking for âjust here for the hours.â
We want tradespeople who show up, get after it, and take pride in what they build - whether you’re a hungry apprentice or a seasoned journeyman who knows their way around a job site without hand-holding.
And yeah - you might be traveling around Southern Alberta. New sites. New challenges. No boredom!
The Work (what you’re really signing up for)
- Building duct systems that actually perform - not just pass inspection
- Installing hangers, fire dampers, and full HVAC systems on real construction and renovation projects
- Reading prints and executing - no guessing, no shortcuts
- Adjusting on the fly when plans hit reality
- Moving between job sites across Southern Alberta - pack your gear and stay ready
- Working with other trades without the drama (we don’t do egos)
- Owning safety - FLHAs, inspections, doing it right when no one’s watching
Journeymen: lead the crew, set the pace, own the outcome
Apprentices: learn fast, work hard, earn your spot
What You Bring (no fluff, just truth)
Apprentices (2ndâ4th year):
- You’re here to learn the trade for real, not coast
- You work hard without being chased
- You can read drawings - or you’re putting in the reps until you can
Journeymen:
- You know your craft - no shortcuts, no excuses
- You lead without ego and solve problems fast
- You care about the final product - not just getting it done
Everyone:
- You’re good with travel
- You show up ready - physically and mentally
- You respect the crew, timelines, and the work
- Class 5 license + clean abstract
- Safety certs are a bonus - but mindset matters more
Why This Actually Pays Off
- Different projects - no rinse-and-repeat work
- Crews who know their stuff
- Real opportunity to level up fast
- And here’s the part most companies won’t say:
👉 We reward crews that deliver.
If projects are built with quality, on time, and on budget - you get recognized for it. No empty promises.
