We Keep The World Turning

For UBC Millwrights and our industry partners, owners and contractors, safety is the overriding principle for accomplishing our work.

We develop safety partnerships with contractors and owners to protect the health and safety of our millwrights — and to safeguard owners’ investments. UBC millwrights and our partners approach their work with unmatched safety, reliability, respect, craftsmanship, professionalism and leadership. Our goal is to maintain safety as the highest priority while keeping productivity moving.

We build partnerships based on respect and trust. We provide skilled, responsible millwrights to meet the challenges of any project. We are committed to getting each project done right, and as professionals, we can discuss and solve any challenges while keeping your project on target.

As progressive cross-trained maintenance and construction professionals with the capability to work safely and efficiently in a variety of industries, and have the skills to install, maintain, diagnose, and repair precision machinery, UBC millwrights are vital partners in industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, food processing, pharmaceuticals gas, nuclear, and alternative-energy, power plants and more.

We’re everywhere, working behind the scenes to keep equipment running that keeps industry moving.

Safety-Focused, Quality Driven Expertise

The Millwright Regional Council (MRC) is composed of thirteen affiliated Local Unions of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) across Canada.

We represent thousands of women and men working as progressive cross-trained construction and maintenance professionals with exceptional skills to install, maintain, diagnose, and repair precision machinery.

UBC millwrights are vital partners in industries as diverse as energy, automotive, aerospace, food processing, pharmaceuticals and more.
