About Us
Headquartered right here in Edmonton, Alberta, we are a global leader in designing and manufacturing custom automated welding systems. For decades, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in manufacturing technology, building solutions that ship all over the world. But our greatest asset isn't our machinery—it’s our people. At LJ Welding Automation, we don’t just "do electrical"—we build, integrate, and troubleshoot the custom welding automation systems that keep the industry humming.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with assembly foremen, fellow journeymen, and apprentices to build, wire, program, and commission state-of-the-art automated equipment, ensuring every project meets our rigorous quality standards and delivery timelines.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Step into a high-energy role where your technical expertise directly fuels our production line. You will join a tight-knit crew of elite electricians rooted deep within our core assembly department.
- This isn't a role where you operate in a silo. You will be a vital link in our manufacturing chain, collaborating daily with assembly foremen, fellow journeymen, and apprentices to complete production on time and to quality standards.
- You’ll wire complex industrial equipment, build control panels from the ground up, and program, integrate, and commission advanced automated machines.
- You’ll troubleshoot, repair, and service electrical equipment and parts, reviewing engineering drawings to ensure all applicable codes are maintained.
- From shop organization, control of non-conformances, monitoring resources, to supporting design and development, your expertise will be felt across the floor.
What You Bring to the Circuit:
- You hold a valid Electrical Journeyman Certificate.
- You’ve got proven, hands-on electrical control building experience.
- You have a strong mechanical aptitude, a meticulous eye for detail, and the creative thinking skills to solve problems on the fly.
- You’re highly self-motivated, proactive, inquisitive, and able to think outside the box.
- You thrive both independently and within a team, backed by strong decision-making, communication skills, and reliable, consistent attendance.
