Up to 40 per cent of current boilermakers are expected to retire in the next few years, increasing the demand for skilled workers to build, maintain, repair and retrofit existing facilities and meet the needs of the current wave of industrial construction. Boilermakers with knowledge of the new materials, modern production techniques such as modular construction and computer-assisted design are in high demand with employers such as:

• boiler production plants
• chemical manufacturers
• construction sites
• heavy water plants
• nuclear power plants
• refineries

Boilermaking requires a high degree of physical strength, technical skill and knowledge. Our program will give you the required technical and in-class training to become a boilermaker apprentice. You’ll also acquire the welding certifications that are required by a journey person construction boilermaker.
