Work that pays for the ticket you earned.

Merit Trades places labourers through to owners and executives. Anything on the board below is a live search. When the board is empty, there is nothing open, and you are welcome to sit on the bench so we can call you when work fits.

How it works

Step 01

Send the short form

Trade, level, tickets and where you want to work. A few details, no resume needed to get started. This puts you on the bench, it is not an application to a posted role.

Step 02

Ticket check

We verify your ticket or Red Seal with the issuing authority before your name goes anywhere.

Step 03

A real conversation

A recruiter calls you, walks the ladder with you and confirms rate, travel and shift tolerance.

Step 04

Matched to a crew

You go on the bench and we call you when your trade and level lines up with a live search.

Join the bench

Put your tickets on the bench.

This is not an application to a specific role. It puts your trade and level on Merit's bench so a recruiter can call you when work comes up. We never send your details to an employer before you say yes to the role.

Prefer to talk first? Call 1-403-714-8006 or email meritrecruitmentstudios@gmail.com.

Crewing up, or looking for your next ticketed role? Ticket checked, level matched, then a real call.
