Refrigeration Journeypersons & Apprentices

Full Time Calgary, AB, CA

15 days ago Requisition

Based in Calgary | Working wherever the job takes you (Alberta + beyond)

Refrigeration isn’t flashy… until everything’s failing and thousands of dollars are on the line.

That’s when you step in — or you get out of the way.

At Gateway Mechanical
, we’re hiring Journey persons and Apprentices who don’t freeze under pressure — the ones people call when it actually matters.

If you take pride in doing things properly (not just quickly), you’ll fit right in.

• Around since 1968 — we’ve outlasted trends, fads, and bad techs
• 40,000+ service calls a year — steady, real work
• Built on long‑tenured tradespeople who know their craft
• Backed by serious technical support when things get complicated

Bottom line:

You’re not alone out there — but you’re also not babysat.

This isn’t “just service” or “just installs.”

It’s both — because real technicians can do both.

You’ll:

• Bounce between service calls and project work
• Handle breakdowns that can’t wait
• Install systems that need to be done right the first time
• Walk into problems with zero instructions… and figure them out anyway

One day you’re saving a grocery store from losing product.

Next day you’re building a system clean enough to show off.

• Diagnose fast — and accurately
• Repair & maintain commercial / industrial HVACR systems
• Install & retrofit equipment without cutting corners
• Read drawings like you mean it

Handle your docs like your work: clean, accurate, and fully digital.

• Earn customer confidence by knowing what you’re doing

When your project hits the mark, you earn more.

Safe. On time. On budget. That’s the standard — and it pays.

You:

• Don’t wait around for direction
• Stay calm when things go sideways
• Show up ready — not dragging in late
• Speak clearly so your team doesn’t have to guess
• Take safety seriously (no shortcuts, no excuses)
• Know when to ask for help — and when to just get it done

• Journeyperson Certification OR Registered Apprentice
• 2+ years experience (or solid progression as an apprentice)
• Can handle on‑call without vanishing
• Gas ticket
• First Aid, WHMIS, CSTS
• Fall Protection, AWP, H2S

Because this is where skilled people stay
.

• Work with experienced, long‑term crews — not constant turnover
• Build real skills across service AND projects
• Be part of a team that actually carries its weight
• Get recognized when you produce results

If you:

• Fix problems instead of walking away
• Care about doing it right (even when no one’s watching)
• Want variety, not routine
• And prefer working with pros instead of pretending…

Apply. Or keep doing the same thing somewhere else.
