Life at Valtech Fabrication

I would not be where I am today if it were not for the excellent training I received from my colleagues and supervisors. They pushed me to become a better version of myself both professionally and personally, first as an apprentice and then as an employee. I have never been as proud of myself or as proud to be a welder at Valtech.

I have been in the refractory department at Valtech for 14 years. Because of my flexible schedule, my job allows me to balance my personal life with my work.

I started my career at Valtech as a hexmesh welder. I am now a level 2 welder. My favorite part of the job is the interesting projects, which challenge me and push me to keep getting better.

When I came to Valtech in 2011 as a Roller Operator with over 32 years of experience after my previous employer closed, I saw many advantages: job stability, employee benefits, the opportunity to work in a team on complex and stimulating projects, and a focus on offering quality products in a safe and secure environment. All of this connects with my values and who I am as a person.

I completed my DEP in welding and assembly. I started at Valtech as an apprentice, and then worked my way up the ranks to become a top level assembler. I enjoy working as a team to execute complex projects that challenge my technical skills and push me to keep getting better at what I do.

After finishing welding school, I did my apprenticeship at Valtech and have been here ever since. It is a great company where we can continue to learn and get better. Now, I am a Quality Control Inspector and I enjoy being able to make decisions to ensure that our products meet the highest standard of quality. Valtech gave me confidence!

When I came to Valtech, they took the time to train me properly and I had the opportunity to develop my skills. There is a nice atmosphere and we have fun working together. We get the chance to improve our skills every day because each project is different.
