Gasfitter - Class A

We are seeking a highly skilled and safety-conscious Gasfitter - Class A to join our mechanical team. This position is tailored for a professional who holds or is looking to finish their requirements to achieve their Red Seal Endorsement (RSE).

As a Class A Gasfitter, you occupy the highest tier of the gas-fitting trade, authorized to work on appliances and equipment with any BTU input. Whether you are a seasoned Journeyperson or a senior apprentice in the final stages of your certification, you will be expected to uphold the Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) and ensure all high-output industrial and commercial systems are installed and maintained with absolute precision.

Core Responsibilities

In accordance with the national standards for the Gasfitter trade and the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, your duties include:

High-Output Systems: Install, test, maintain, and service gas-fired equipment of unlimited BTU input, including industrial boilers, large-scale furnaces, and specialized process heating equipment.

Piping & Venting: Layout and install gas piping systems (black iron, copper, CSST) and specialized venting systems for high-efficiency commercial equipment.

Complex Diagnostics: Troubleshoot advanced control systems, flame safeguards, and electrical/electronic components related to large-scale gas burners.

Pressure Testing: Perform rigorous pressure tests on gas lines and equipment to ensure zero leakage and full compliance with provincial safety regulations.

Commissioning: Conduct initial start-up and combustion analysis on industrial units, adjusting fuel-air ratios to maximize efficiency and minimize emissions.

Safety & Compliance: Maintain strict adherence to provincial safety acts and regulations. Act as the final authority on site for gas safety and system integrity.

Mentorship: If certified, supervise and sign off on the hours of junior apprentices (Class B or Class A candidates). If finishing requirements, work with our Journeypersons to master Major Work Activities (MWAs) like industrial burner controls and high-pressure regulators.
