MODERN EDGE INDUSTRIES LTD.
NOW HIRING
Structural & Architectural Installer
Victoria / Vancouver Island, BC | Full-Time, Permanent | $33–$38/hr
WHO WE ARE
Modern Edge Industries Ltd. (MEI) is a boutique metal fabrication and installation company based on Vancouver Island. We operate across two distinct disciplines — high-end architectural metalwork and efficient, high-volume structural steel — giving our team the kind of variety most shops simply can't offer.
We're a young, driven crew with serious aspirations. The culture here is built on quality, craftsmanship, and mutual respect. People succeed here because the environment actively encourages it — there's real room to grow, and we're the kind of team that wants to see you do it.
THE ROLE
We're looking for an experienced Structural & Architectural Installer to join our field team. This isn't a strictly welding position — we need someone who can work confidently from shop to site, contribute to a crew, and take ownership of installs that range from custom residential gates and staircases to structural steel connections on commercial builds.
A typical day can mean anything from a solo residential install to leading a 3–4 person crew with crane coordination, structural bolt-up, and complex site layout. We cover a wide range of work and move fast — this role suits someone who likes to stay sharp.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
– Execute structural and architectural steel installations on residential, commercial, and institutional sites
– Work in crews of 1–4 depending on project scope and complexity
– Perform structural bolt-up, welded site connections, and on-site fitting
– Coordinate with crane operators — signalling, rigging, and managing lifts on-site
– Concrete drilling, anchor installation (including epoxy systems such as Hilti HY200)
– Large-scale site layout using lasers and rotary equipment
– Work at heights safely — ladders, aerial work platforms, scaffolding
– Read and interpret structural drawings and fabrication prints
– Occasional shop fabrication when project flow requires
WHAT YOU BRING
Required
– Proven experience in structural or architectural metal installation
– Ability to read and work from structural and shop drawings
– Hands-on experience with rigging and crane signalling
– Concrete drilling and anchor/embed installation experience
– Comfortable working at heights — ladders, lifts, elevated platforms
– Valid BC driver's licence
Assets (not required, but will set you apart):
– Red Seal Metal Fabricator or Ironworker certification
– CWB welding certification
– Elevated Work Platform (EWP) or Working at Heights certification
– Rigging or crane signalling ticket
– Experience with both architectural ornamental and structural steel
– Familiarity with Hilti anchor systems and epoxy installations
WHAT WE OFFER
– $33–$38/hr — exceptional cases considered outside this range
– Extended health benefits
– Overtime opportunities
– Consistent, engaging variety of work — no two projects the same
– Advancement opportunities within a growing company
– A tight-knit, respectful crew that takes real pride in quality
– Relocation assistance available depending on your situation
LIFE ON VANCOUVER ISLAND
If you're on the mainland and weighing a move — this is worth a serious look. Vancouver Island offers something the Lower Mainland simply can't match: real outdoor living, genuine community, and a pace of life that actually gives you time to use it.
Based in the greater Victoria area, you're a short drive from world-class hiking, mountain biking, surfing, fishing, and skiing — with access to Greater BC just a ferry ride away. The Cowichan Valley carries Canada's warmest microclimate. The cost of living is a genuine step down from Metro Vancouver. People come here for a season and stay for life.

We welcome applicants from across BC. If relocation is a factor, mention it — we're happy to have that conversation.
