Job Description
Ready to Bring Your A‑Game?

Journeyman & Apprentice Plumbers (Commercial)

Calgary , Canmore, Edmonton
• Let’s Cut the BS…

You’re not looking for another rinse-and-repeat job.

You want:
• A crew that actually knows their trade
• Work that keeps your brain and hands busy
• A place where you can learn, laugh, and not hate Mondays

Welcome to Gateway Mechanical.

This Crew Hits Different

We’ve been laying pipe and building careers since 1968 — and people don’t leave a good thing.
• Long-timers who’ve seen it all (and will show you how it's done)
• Zero ego, all teamwork — backs are covered here
• Real mentorship — not just “figure it out”
• Solid crew culture with plenty of laughs on site

You won’t just work here — you’ll level up fast.

️ The Work (No Two Days the Same)

Forget boring.

You’ll get a full mix:
• Service plumbing — troubleshooting, fixing, keeping things flowing
• Commercial builds — from dirt to done
• Renos & retrofits — tearing out, upgrading, making it better
• Projects across Calgary high-rises, Canmore builds, and everything in between
• Reading plans, solving problems, doing it right the first time

It’s the kind of work that keeps you sharp — and on your toes.

Who We’re Looking For

✅ Journeyman Plumbers
• Confident in service + commercial
• Dependable, skilled, no babysitting required
• The kind of person crews actually want beside them

✅ Apprentices
• Got some hands-on experience
• Hungry to learn and get better fast
• Not afraid to work hard and ask questions

What Makes You “Our Kind of Person”
• You don’t stand around — you find work
• You own your jobs, mistakes included
• You’ve got your crew’s back, period
• You want to keep learning (and pass it on)
• You take pride in doing it right — not just getting it done

You show up… and make the whole crew better.

Why You’ll Stay
• Tight-knit crew with real tenure
• Constant learning — no stagnation here
• Good vibes, good people, lots of laughs
• Variety: service, construction, renos — all of it
• A company that respects the trade (and the people doing it)

Ready to Get After It?

Join a team where:
• The work is solid
• The crew is better
• And the days actually fly by

Apply now — let’s build something worth showing off.
