Job description

2302 Rd 125, St. Marys, ON N4X 1C9, Canada

The Opportunity

If you’re an experienced welder who wants more than running the same bead all day, this shop is different. At All‑Equip and Platinum Trailers, you’ll work in a genuinely mixed environment — production runs, custom one‑offs, prototype builds — where the work is varied, the standards are high, and your full range of skills gets used. We’re looking for someone who has put in the time, knows the craft, and is ready to work somewhere their experience actually matters.

Work Arrangement

Full‑Time, Fully On‑site, Monday to Friday, day shift depending on production needs. This is hands‑on assembly work in a busy manufacturing environment.

Compensation

This is a hourly position paying $22-$34/hr depending on experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package including Extended Health Care, Dental, and RRSP contributions. Overtime is available for those who want it.

About Us

All-Equip/Platinum Trailers is a family-owned business. Founded in 2011, we’ve grown into a recognized leader in both trailer manufacturing and heavy equipment repair and service, and it’s that repair experience that gives us a real edge.

We’ve seen what fails in the field, what holds up under pressure, and what the competition consistently gets wrong. That knowledge is baked into everything we do.

The Role

As a Welder/Fitter at All‑Equip, you’ll work across both production and custom fabrication — one day building repeat‑run trailer components, the next fitting up a one‑off prototype or tackling a custom order that hasn’t been built before. The work is diverse by design: we build what others won’t, which means we need welders who are genuinely skilled, not just fast.

In a typical week, you’ll move between production welding, custom fit‑up and fabrication, and hands‑on problem‑solving with our engineering and fabrication teams. It’s a role that suits people who take pride in their craft and thrive when no two days are quite the same.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and interpret drawings, blueprints, and fabrication sketches for both production builds and custom projects.
• Fit, assemble, and weld aluminum and steel components with precision — proper alignment, tolerances, and structural integrity every time.
• Perform production welding on repeat‑run trailer components while maintaining consistent quality and efficiency.
• Support custom fabrication and prototyping by building one‑off parts, test assemblies, and new design concepts.
• Collaborate with engineering and fabrication teams to solve fit‑up challenges and refine prototype designs.
• Select appropriate welding processes (MIG/TIG) and parameters based on material type, thickness, and project requirements.
• Use jigs, fixtures, and measuring tools to ensure accurate fit‑up and repeatability.
• Operate fabrication equipment including saws, torches, grinders, hoists, and welding machines.
• Inspect welds and assemblies against internal quality standards and customer specifications.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area — proper PPE and safety procedures are non‑negotiable.

What We Offer

• Full‑time, year‑round work, Monday to Friday (Days).
• Extended Health Care and Dental benefits.
• Bi‑weekly direct deposit.
• Overtime available for those who want it.

Career Path

We’re a growing company, and skilled tradespeople grow with us. Whether your goal is to take on more complex custom and prototype work, step into a lead hand role, or move toward fabrication supervision, we want to know where you want to go — and we’ll help you get there.

Qualifications & Experience

• 3–5+ years of welding and fitting experience in a fabrication, trailer, or heavy‑equipment environment.
• Proficiency in aluminum and steel welding — MIG required, TIG a strong asset.
• Strong fitting skills: able to read drawings, lay out parts, check tolerances, and build accurate assemblies.
• Experience in both production and custom fabrication settings.
• Ability to build, modify, or work with jigs and fixtures to support repeatability and accuracy.
• Comfortable with prototyping, one‑off builds, and solving fit‑up challenges on the fly.
• Physically able to lift, bend, stand, and work in a shop environment for extended periods.
• Solid understanding of weld quality standards, distortion control, and proper heat management.
• Strong problem‑solving instincts and attention to detail.
• Genuine pride in the quality of your work.

Education & Certifications

• Completion of a welding apprenticeship or equivalent trade certification required.

All Equip is a diverse and equal-opportunity employer.
