Welder – Journeyperson

Built for more than the weld.

At Boundary Equipment, welding is one part of a much bigger rebuild. We are looking for a Welder to join our Edmonton shop and work on large, high-value components used in some of the toughest mining conditions in the world—equipment where quality, reliability, and attention to detail matter.

This is not a production welding role. You’ll contribute to complete, engineering-led rebuilds and work alongside experienced tradespeople, inspectors, machinists, and engineers to return critical mining equipment to reliable operating condition.

We welcome applications from both Journeyperson Welders and registered welding apprentices at any level. Whether you are an experienced welder or developing your trade, we are looking for someone with strong practical ability, a dependable work ethic, and a willingness to learn and contribute to every stage of the rebuild process.

Why Boundary?

Since 1978, Boundary has built a reputation for reliable mining components, practical engineering, and rebuilds that perform in the field. From Edmonton to mining operations around the world, our work helps keep critical equipment running and extends the service life of components our customers depend on.

· Work on large, complex mining components you won’t find in an average shop.

· Contribute to complete, engineering-led rebuilds—not just one step in the process.

· Use a broad range of welding, cutting, gouging, preparation, and finishing skills.

· Work alongside experienced people who care about craftsmanship and getting the job right.

· See the finished result of your work return to service in demanding operating environments.

· Disassemble and assemble components throughout the inspection and rebuild process.

· Clean and pressure-wash parts and components before inspection and repair.

· Prepare components for rebuilding by cutting, gauging, grinding, and cleaning parts.

· Perform air arc gouging, plasma cutting, and torch work as required.

· Prepare surfaces and paint completed parts and components.

· Follow approved welding procedures, repair instructions, quality requirements, and production standards.

· Complete required production, inspection, and quality documentation.
