TIG / GTAW Welder

Role overview

Open full-time TIG / GTAW Welder vacancy in Calgary, Alberta with MaViAl Sp. z o.o. Base pay is CAD 37.72 gross per hour.The role focuses on gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), commonly called TIG welding, for fabrication and repair work where precision, heat control and clean weld quality are important. Duties include interpreting drawings and welding process specifications; cleaning and preparing joints; fitting, aligning and tacking components; setting up GTAW equipment; selecting approved tungsten, filler metal and shielding gas; welding carbon steel, stainless steel or other assigned materials within the approved procedure; controlling heat input and distortion; checking dimensions and visible weld quality; grinding and finishing where required; and following ventilation, hot-work and fire-prevention procedures.This vacancy aligns with NOC 72106 — Welders and related machine operators. Job Bank reports TIG welder wages in the Calgary Region at CAD 26.16–54.27/hour with a median of CAD 37.72/hour. A July 13, 2026 Calgary welder posting that includes TIG/GTAW among the required welding processes advertises CAD 36.20–40.22/hour. The selected CAD 37.72/hour base rate is therefore directly within the current Calgary market.Welder is a compulsory certification trade in Alberta. Alberta's Welder branch specifically includes gas tungsten arc welding among its restricted activities. Restricted welding work may be performed only by an authorized individual under Alberta's designated-trade rules, such as a registered apprentice, certified journeyperson or holder of a recognized trade certificate, as applicable.Important distinction: Alberta's separate Welder - Wire Process Operator branch covers GMAW, FCAW, SAW and other semiautomatic wire-feed processes, but its scope excludes gas tungsten arc welding. TIG/GTAW therefore falls under the full Welder branch, not the Wire Process Operator branch.Job Bank states that secondary school is usually required and that a three-year apprenticeship or more than three years of welding experience plus college or industry courses is usually required to be eligible for trade certification. A practical employer weld test may verify job skill but does not by itself replace Alberta compulsory trade authorization.Alberta OHS rules require controls for welding fumes and hot work. Mechanical ventilation applies where airborne contaminants exceed or may exceed occupational exposure limits or where hazardous fumes, gases, smoke or particulate are generated. Hot work in hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres requires the applicable permit, control measures and atmospheric testing.Full-time employment. Exact weekly hours and shift pattern are confirmed in the written offer. Alberta's basic overtime rule is 8 hours per day or 44 hours per week, whichever calculation produces more overtime hours; overtime is generally paid at 1.5 times the regular rate unless a lawful exception or written arrangement applies.Work location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Canadian work authorization and Alberta trade authorization must both be confirmed before welding begins. A Polish employment contract, delegation document or PL-CAN01 social-security certificate does not itself authorize work in Canada. Apply only through the official OpeningsHub profile.
