About Us
At METRIC., loyalty is earned. We believe people stay when they are treated well, challenged in the right ways, and given real opportunities to grow.
Our team is growing and we’re looking for experienced Pipe Layers who take pride in safe, precise, high-quality civil construction work. Whether you’re installing storm, sanitary, water, or shallow utilities, we want people who understand the importance of doing the work right the first time.
About You
You’re an experienced Pipe Layer who understands that good pipework takes skill, focus, and attention to detail. You know how to work safely in and around trenches, follow grades, read site direction, and support the crew around you.
You take pride in clean, accurate work and understand how important proper installation is to the success of a project. You’re looking for steady, year-round work, strong wages, and a company that values skilled people who do things the right way.
What You’ll Do
- Install storm, sanitary, water, and utility pipe
- Set pipe to proper grade, slope, and alignment
- Work safely in trenches and around excavation
- Read and follow plans, layouts, and site direction
- Assist with bedding, backfill, and compaction
- Support testing, tie-ins, and utility connections
- Communicate clearly with operators and site leaders
- Help keep projects safe, organized, and productive
What You Can Expect From Us
- Competitive wages based on experience
- Annual bonus program
- Paid commute (*in some cases)
- Medical and dental benefits, life insurance, and RRSP matching
- Paid training and certifications
- Employee recognition program for achievements and milestones
- Full-time, year-round work with overtime opportunities
- Modern equipment and a strong maintenance program
- A modern, innovative company culture
- A strong commitment to safety
- Company events and team celebrations
What We Need From You
- Previous pipe laying experience
- Experience in civil construction or site servicing
- Ability to read grades, plans, and site direction
- A valid driver’s license
- Ability to commute to jobsites around the Lower Mainland
- Ability to understand and follow instructions in English
- Strong communication, reliability, and jobsite awareness
- Ability to work safely in trenches and around equipment
- Willingness to follow our Health & Safety Program
A Note About Location
Our head office is in Chilliwack, but most of our work is on jobsites throughout the Lower Mainland. You’ll usually commute directly to site, not to the Chilliwack office.
