West Coast Reduction Ltd. - Nothing Left Behind
- At West Coast Reduction, nothing is important to us. Because when there’s nothing left – that is when we’ve done our job. We collect food waste and by-products from food producers, like farms, restaurants, bakeries and even supermarkets, transforming them into ingredients used in animal feed, renewable energy and thousands of other products we use every day. Our efforts contribute to a sustainable local food supply, and help us all live in cleaner and healthier communities. Visit our Company website at to learn more.
Based at our Edmonton plant location, the Journeyperson Welder is responsible for the fabrication and welding of various materials including steel, aluminum and stainless steel. Ensuring safety and preventative measures on plant tools and site equipment are also important maintenance tasks of the role.
Your own transportation to the workplace is required due to lack of public transportation available. The Edmonton Plant is located just north of Sherwood Park. As a part of West Coast Reduction Ltd.'s hiring process, we request applicants to complete a background check for employment purposes.
