What we change for trades
Licences and tickets first
Red Seal, journeyman certificate, OSHA 30, WHMIS, First Aid — in a scannable strip above the summary. A site supervisor checks these before reading anything else.
Sector stated explicitly
Residential, light commercial, heavy industrial — stated in every job entry. Project managers use this to assess fit. "Electrical work" tells them nothing; "600V industrial distribution" does.
Project value and scope
CAD $28M data centre, hospital expansion, transit infrastructure — sized and named. Trades professionals who can quote project value and scope signal commercial awareness beyond the tools.
Safety record
Zero lost-time injuries across 11 years and 140,000 crew hours — this is a credibility signal that senior tradespeople earn and that most CVs fail to state. We make it prominent.
Union and prevailing wage
IBEW, UA, UBC membership and local number — stated where applicable. Whether you have worked on union or Davis-Bacon/prevailing wage sites is often a hiring prerequisite, not a preference.
Apprentices supervised
Number of apprentices mentored and their outcomes. For supervisor and foreperson roles, training the next generation is a core responsibility — we surface it explicitly.
