Our client, a dynamic leader in the construction and large-scale project services industry, is looking for a detail-oriented Industrial Millwright for an upcoming project starting this August. This role is based out of their Calgary shop with regular mobilization to remote project locations (such as Mackenzie, BC). It is designed for an independent contractor or a flexible tradesperson looking for a stable 6 to 12-month contract with a high degree of precision work.
