Hi

I have held an CISRS scaffolding ticket for 5 years and am looking to work and live in Canada. I am looking for any helpful advice in moving forward on this subject. I currently live in England. I would like to hear from anyone that is in the scaffolding industry and is currently living in Canada.

Thanks in advance for your help

Welcome to the forum Steve,
Sorry cannot help you with the scaffolding industry. I know there is a scaffolding association based in Ontario I think. You could try googling that. Good luck with your search. Louise

Hello Steve,

If you want to work in Canada in Scaffolding, I suggest that you contact Aluma/Brand or Steeplejack/Brock out in Alberta. They were begging for Scaffolders last year for the Fort McMurray projects. - Good luck with your search. There are some other firms if they do not work out, let me know, maybe I can help you.

Best regards,

Terry M

Hello Sam,

Hi, my name is Terry Marks from London originally and I am in the scaffolding business in the USA and do some business in Canada. My company is Scaffolding Consultants International, you can look me up by firm name or by my name & scaffolding on Google. For some reason, if I try to put the web address in these notes, it does not allow it to post. The best bet if you are looking for work in Canada is to go to the SIA website (Scaffold Industry Association at the 3 alphabet letters +Scaffold (dot) org) and look up firms in Canada. Some of the biggest firms in Canada are Safway, Brand/Aluma, Patent and Steeplejack/Brock. They seem to always be looking for scaffolders in Alberta up in the oil fields in Fort McMurray. If you google me and need more help, drop me an email from my website. Good luck.
