The Firm

Ironclad Trades Co. is not a labor brokerage. We are an institutional skilled trades firm providing multi-disciplinary execution across the Greater Edmonton Industrial Corridor. We operate on a single structural mandate: total accountability. Every technical discipline at Ironclad is directed by ticketed professionals who hold a performance-linked equity stake in the work. When our crews step onto a site, they are there to protect an investment, enforce safety, and deliver the technical scope on schedule.

The Role

We are mobilizing elite, execution-focused industrial electricians and instrumentation specialists for critical facility turnarounds, capital-intensive builds, and long-term embedded maintenance cycles. As a Red Seal Industrial Electrician & I&C Specialist, you will serve as the technical authority on the ground. You will bridge critical operational gaps, manage complex mechanical-electrical scopes, and ensure that all high-voltage and control systems perform flawlessly under the most demanding industrial conditions.

Execution Profile (Responsibilities)

Turnaround Execution: Lead critical path electrical and instrumentation activities during tight-window facility shutdowns, ensuring zero delays in safe remobilization. System Diagnostics: Perform advanced troubleshooting, repair, and calibration of PLCs, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), 4-20mA analog signal loops, and 24VDC control systems. High-Voltage Distribution: Maintain, test, and troubleshoot industrial electrical equipment, motors, generators, and complex power input systems (480V and 600V). Embedded Operations: Integrate seamlessly into client facilities as a technical embed, executing preventative maintenance and providing institutional-grade oversight of critical assets. Absolute Safety Compliance: Enforce Ironclad’s zero-compromise safety protocols, strict Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, and full compliance with CSA Z462 workplace electrical safety standards.

Technical & Certification Requirements

Valid Red Seal Certification as an Industrial Electrician. Extensive proven experience in Instrumentation and Controls (Dual-Ticketed I&C Technician status is a distinct advantage). Demonstrated experience executing complex industrial facility turnarounds, shutdowns, or large-scale capital projects. Mastery of industrial automation, including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Schneider PLC platforms, and HMI/SCADA systems. Deep understanding of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and industrial arc flash/shock hazard mitigation. A firm commitment to craftsmanship, operational discipline, and site accountability.
