Take your Skills to the Next Shutdown – Now Hiring!

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

If you thrive in fast-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.

This is not routine construction work. It’s high-intensity, short-duration execution where skilled tradespeople bring focus, precision, and teamwork to meet demanding turnaround timelines.
