Apprentice Electrician

We are growing our team, and we are looking for an Apprentice Electrician (Level 2 or above) with experience in the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering sector who will play a key role in working on our green ammonia production project. If you are looking to complete your apprenticeship, while starting a permanent full-time job then we would love to meet you. This position will report to the Master Electrician.

Who WE are:

FuelPositive is a Canadian-based, clean technology company, working to fight climate change by creating and developing practical, clean, and sustainable carbon-free solutions that can be implemented economically now. Above all, we believe in being kind – to the earth, to each other, and to ourselves. We believe that being kind will pay dividends for us all. It’s all about Fuel for a Mindful World.

What WE make:

Our lead product, an onsite, containerized Green Ammonia production system that is modular and scalable, will revolutionize clean energy through a patent-pending, first-of-its-kind technology invented in Canada. The system takes air, water and a sustainable electricity source to produce green anhydrous ammonia with no carbon emissions. Adoption will dramatically support global targets to reduce CO2 emissions. And our decentralized, in situ approach will bring supply chain independence to our first customers – farmers – for the first time.

If you want to make a Positive impact, be relevant and make a change, join our team and become a part of the solution!

What YOU will do:

As the electrician apprentice your responsibilities will be assigned by the master electrician, and they will include assisting with installations, troubleshooting, repairs as well as calibrations of electrical systems and equipment. Under the guidance of the Master Electrician and Electrical Engineer, you will connect power supply wires to machines and equipment and connect cables and wires between machines and equipment, following manuals, blueprints, schematic diagrams, using hand tools and test equipment. Assist with updating work logs, client accounts, ordering replacement parts and equipment as required. Read, interpret and apply all applicable codes and regulations as needed. Safety is a priority for everything we do, so you will participate in the safety engineering process in every step of the way. Part of your daily responsibilities will be ensuring electrical systems/equipment and your work area are kept clean. You will perform related electrical duties as required as there will be lots to do, so this summary is only an idea of what the role holds for you. Does this sound exciting? Keep reading below.

Who YOU are:

You’ve seen our values, and they resonate with you. You are passionate about participating in creating solutions to climate change and understand the role our systems play in making a positive impact on the world’s fertilizer demands and food shortage issues. You have at least 2+ years of relevant work experience in apprenticeship with practical experience working with electrical systems and equipment. You have successfully completed at least two levels of schooling required for an Industrial Electrician Certification. Safety is your number one priority, and you can manage yourself and support others to maintain and contribute to a safe working environment. You are a self-learner who likes to follow instructions as you continue to gain knowledge and expand your skillset. You take pride in having responsibility for the quality and accuracy of the work you undertake, being proactive in finding solutions to problems and identifying areas for improving the business. Your willingness to learn and land a hand are part of who you are. You keep high regard for attention to detail with strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. While this position is focused within the Waterloo Region in Ontario, travel may be required, so you should be able to travel across Canada and to international locations as needed to support existing installations and future projects. You have a valid driver’s license.
