Jim McClurg
Owner/President/Journeyman
I got into welding because I wanted to start an apprenticeship trade to support my young family. Before starting Magnum Steel Inc., I worked in other welding shops and did oil field work. My favorite welding method is MIG since it’s fast and efficient. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, dirt biking, and boating.

Krista McClurg
Marketing & Client Relations
I’m a SAIT marketing graduate and recently joined Magnum Steel Inc. as the marketing manager. Before this, I ran my own dayhome business for six years, but saw an opportunity to help grow Magnum’s brand, so I returned to school to make it happen. In my free time, I enjoy camping, horseback riding, and reading.

Colin Plester
Lead Fabricator
I learned to weld as a teenager while working for my dad’s business, which sparked my interest in the trade. Before joining Magnum Steel Inc., I custom-built small sleepers for semi trucks. My favorite welding method is aluminum MIG since it’s how I first learned to weld. In my free time, I love playing with my son, Nico.

Brodie Ham
First Year Welder Apprentice
My journey into the welding trade began in school, where I found a deep interest in it. Before joining the team at Magnum Steel Inc., I worked on a golf course with the maintenance crew. My favorite welding technique is stick welding. It gives me the feeling of being a pipeliner, which I really enjoy. When I'm not welding or working, I love to spend my time dirt biking and playing basketball.

James Rivers
3rd Year Welder Apprentice
I got into welding back in high school and knew then it was the career I wanted to pursue. Before joining Magnum Steel Inc., I fabricated flat decks. My favorite welding method is TIG because it’s challenging but produces high-quality welds. In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, drawing, and welding.

Colin Doussept
Owner/Director/Journeyman
I’ve always enjoyed building things, which naturally led me to the welding trade. Before starting Magnum Steel Inc., I worked for a pipefitting company as well as construction of interior and exterior residential developments My favorite welding method is TIG because it’s precise, accurate, and visually clean. In my free time, I enjoy hockey, golfing, hiking, walking, and traveling.

Ceilidh Price
Communications Advisor
With over 25 years in marketing communications, I’ve always admired the trades and enjoy applying my skills in a new industry. My background as a journalist fuels my curiosity (read: snoopiness) and makes meeting people from all walks of life especially fun. In my spare time, I enjoy people-watching, reading, and spending time with my dog and my horse.

Owen Aldridge
1st Year Welder Apprentice
I got into welding because it’s a competitive trade that pushes me to grow every day, and I enjoy seeing my work used in real projects. Before Magnum Steel Inc., I worked at a golf course for two years and spent two summers at an oil tool shop. My favorite welding method is stick welding—it’s challenging but produces clean, strong welds. Outside of work, I’m into motorcycles, the gym, and welding as a hobby.

Callan McClurg
2nd Year Welder Apprentice
I got into welding through school and because my dad is a journeyman welder—it runs in the family. Before joining Magnum Steel Inc., I worked at a seed plant, mixing and bagging seeds. My favorite welding method is stick welding since it takes real skill, burns hotter, and gives a cleaner finish. In my free time, I enjoy camping, dirt biking, building things, and working on mechanics. Vroom vroom!

Ashlyn Ham
Level 1 Welding Inspector
I discovered my passion for welding while restoring a 1988 F150 with my grandpa. This led me to study Welding Engineering at SAIT and earn a CWB Level 1 certification. Before joining Magnum Steel Inc., I gained experience at a structural shop in Calgary. I'm a fan of stick welding for its adaptability and TIG for its accuracy. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active with workouts, hiking, camping, and volleyball.
