MOST PLUMBERS CAN INSTALL.
CAN YOU SOLVE PROBLEMS?
Journeyman Plumber | Commercial Service | Edmonton
LET'S BE REAL
Anybody can swap out a fixture. Anybody can follow a set of drawings.
But when a commercial building is bleeding money, the customer's fed up, and nobody knows what's wrong... that's when real service plumbers earn their reputation.
That's the work we do.
SERVICE PLUMBING ISN'T FOR EVERYONE
Some plumbers need someone standing over their shoulder. Some panic when the problem isn't obvious. Some want the easiest route and a place to hide on a jobsite.
We're not looking for those plumbers.
We want the ones who pull up to a building, figure out what's actually happening, and get it fixed. The ones customers remember. The ones crews rely on. The ones who can think.
SERVICE VS. CONSTRUCTION
On the construction side, guys get slotted into a lane and stay there. One crew runs the risers. One crew runs the parkade. One crew lives in the mechanical room. And there are plenty more lanes to get stuck in.
That's by design. The more you repeat one task, the faster you get, and the more the company makes off you. Good for their bottom line, but you're not growing as a plumber.
Service is the opposite. Every day is a new building, a new problem, something you've never seen. You're thinking on your feet, figuring out what's wrong, and making the call yourself. That's how you build real range, not one skill done a thousand times, but a thousand problems that make you sharper.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
No repetitive days. No mindless production work. No shutting your brain off.
✅ Diagnose problems others couldn't solve
✅ Troubleshoot commercial plumbing systems
✅ Work directly with facility managers and customers
✅ Restore critical systems when downtime isn't an option
✅ Make decisions in the field and own the outcome
Some days you'll solve it in 20 minutes. Other days you'll chase something that's frustrated a customer for weeks. That's why the best plumbers love it.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Tools can be bought. Skill can be taught. Accountability can't.
✅ Don't need babysitting
✅ Don't make excuses
✅ Can communicate with customers
✅ Stay calm when things get complicated
✅ Own your mistakes and fix them
✅ Want to be the person who gets it done
WHY GATEWAY
We want the best, so we pay for the best. Gateway's service rate is at the top of the market in Edmonton. Not middle of the pack, not "competitive." The top. If you're good, you'll make more here than down the street.
And you'll do it in a company vehicle that goes home with you. No stopping by the shop, no burning your own gas, no miles on your own truck. Straight from your driveway to the job.
That's just the start. You'll join one of Western Canada's largest mechanical contractors, with a reputation built over decades and a deep bench of service plumbers who know their craft.
Here's what most shops won't put in their ad. On-call comes around about once every couple of months, not every week or two like our competitors. And when it's your turn, you get paid for it whether the phone rings or not. Overtime kicks in sooner too, while a lot of shops make you grind to 44 hours first.
Little things? They add up, and they tell you how a company treats its people.
YOU CAN EXPECT
Lots of Hours, Paid Benefits, Pension, Company Events, Tuition Re-Imbursement.
