How we match trades workers
A service contractor loses a van for every tradesperson short. A commercial job loses days. We keep a working list of journeypersons and apprentices across Calgary who have told us their trade, their year, their tickets and the kind of work they want next.
When you send a request, we match on the trade and the scope first: service or new construction, residential, commercial or industrial, tools required, and whether the worker needs a vehicle.
What we check before a first placement
- Alberta trade certificate or apprenticeship record book, by trade and year
- Red Seal endorsement where the role asks for it
- Safety tickets with expiry dates: CSTS-2020, WHMIS 2015, Fall Protection, First Aid
- Two work references from supervisors on similar jobs
- Own hand tools, PPE and transport to site

How to hire
Choose how you want to staff the job
Temporary staffing
Workers by the shift, the week or the season.
For workload you can't plan around: a pour that moved, a sick crew, a seasonal peak. Workers stay on our payroll and you approve hours weekly.
How it worksTemp-to-hire
See the work before you make the offer.
The worker starts as a temporary placement. If the fit is right after an agreed number of hours, you hire them onto your own payroll.
How it worksPermanent placement
A shortlist for roles you need to keep filled.
For foremen, superintendents, lead hands, estimators and senior tradespeople. We search, screen and present a shortlist, and you interview and hire.
How it worksProject and shutdown crews
A full crew with a lead hand, for one job.
Tell us the scope and dates. We assemble a crew by trade and ticket, name a lead hand as your single point of contact, and demobilise when the job ends.
How it worksPayroll for workers you found
You pick the worker. We carry the paperwork.
Already know who you want for a short project? We take them onto our payroll so you don't open a file for a six-week job.
How it worksRush requests
For the call that comes at 4 p.m.
When someone doesn't show or a delivery arrives a day early, send a rush request. We call the workers who are available tomorrow morning first.
