Company Overview
Reggin Technical Services Ltd. is a well-established mechanical contractor based in Calgary, serving Calgary and the surrounding area since 1931.
For more than 95 years, Reggin has provided plumbing, heating, HVAC and electrical solutions to commercial, institutional and high-rise residential clients.
Our work ranges from ongoing commercial service and preventative maintenance to complete mechanical projects, renovations, equipment replacements and system upgrades.
Summary
We are seeking experienced 2nd, 3rd and 4th Year Plumbing Apprentices to join our Commercial Projects team.
This position is intended for apprentices who already have experience in the trade and want to continue developing their skills through exposure to a broad range of commercial plumbing, hydronic and mechanical projects.
Reggin's commercial project work ranges from approximately $500 to $2 million++ and includes boiler plant installations and replacements, hydronic distribution systems, domestic water systems, sanitary and storm drainage, mechanical room upgrades, renovations and complete mechanical installations.

You'll work alongside experienced Journeymen and project leads while developing your ability to read mechanical drawings, perform field layout, understand piping and mechanical systems, solve installation challenges, and understand how the systems you're building are intended to operate. Through Reggin's broader Commercial Service and Projects operations, you'll also have opportunities to gain exposure to hydronics, boiler systems, troubleshooting and other technical areas of the trade.
We aren't looking for someone who simply wants to accumulate apprenticeship hours. We're looking for apprentices who want to develop their trade, expand their technical knowledge and become exceptional commercial Journeymen.

What Joining Reggin Means
Joining Reggin Technical Services as an apprentice means more than accumulating the hours required to become a Journeyman.
Our goal is to develop well-rounded commercial tradespeople who understand what they're installing and why.
You'll have the opportunity to work on everything from commercial drainage and domestic water systems to boiler plants, hydronic distribution and complete mechanical-room installations. Our project sizes range from smaller replacements and renovations through complex commercial projects approaching $2 million++
You'll work alongside experienced Journeymen who can help you develop not only your installation skills, but also your ability to read drawings, lay out work, solve field problems and understand how complete mechanical systems operate.
Because Reggin works across both Commercial Projects and Commercial Service, there are opportunities to develop skills beyond traditional construction plumbing and gain exposure to the troubleshooting and technical side of the trade.
If you're a 2nd, 3rd or 4th Year Apprentice who wants to become more than someone who can install pipe — and wants to develop into a strong, knowledgeable commercial Journeyman — we want to hear from you.
Bring your experience, work ethic and willingness to learn to Reggin Technical Services and continue building your career with a company that has been part of Calgary's mechanical industry since 1931.
