We’re looking for a hands-on Boilermaker with strong experience in heavy plant repairs — someone who knows their way around buckets, ripper assemblies, and structural rebuilds, and isn’t afraid of thick plate and tough jobs. If you take pride in rebuilding heavy components that actually go back into the field and perform, this is the kind of environment where your skill shows.

Key Responsibilities:

Structural repairs on buckets, ripper assemblies, booms, and components
Crack repairs, rebuilds, and reinforcement of high-wear parts
Arc gouging and weld prep on heavy sections
Build-up welding and hard-facing on wear areas
Cutting, shaping, and fitting thick plate steel
Interpreting drawings and executing quality repairs
Assisting with strip-down, assessment, and rebuild processes

Minimum Requirements:

Trade Tested Boilermaker (preferred)
Solid experience on earthmoving / heavy plant equipment
Strong welding skills (Stick / MIG / Flux Core advantageous)
Experience working with heavy plate and structural repairs
Confident with arc gouging
Ability to read and work from technical drawings
Physically fit and comfortable in a heavy-duty workshop

What Sets You Apart:

Pride in your workmanship — your welds last
Strong problem-solving ability on worn or damaged components
Ability to work independently and in a team
You understand durability > speed
Line boring / pin & bush repair experience
Knowledge of wear materials and hard-facing
Experience on CAT, Komatsu, Bell, Hitachi equipment
