Build Halifax. Work Local. Build Your Future.

Modern Niagara is looking for local apprentices to join our team on the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Halifax Infirmary Expansion in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

This recruitment campaign is focused on local talent. We want to connect with skilled tradespeople who live in Halifax and surrounding Nova Scotia communities and want the opportunity to work on one of the largest healthcare construction projects in the region.

Whether you're already a UA Local 56 member or you're currently non-union and interested in learning more about joining Local 56, we want to hear from you.

This is your chance to:

Work on a major, long-term healthcare construction project right here in Halifax

Build your skills and experience alongside experienced tradespeople

Be part of a team delivering critical infrastructure for Nova Scotia

Build a career close to home

Join a project that will have a lasting impact on the Halifax community

As construction continues to ramp up, we're building a strong pipeline of local Apprentices who are interested in opportunities on the project.

Our goal is to build a strong local workforce and help provide local tradespeople with the training and tools they need to succeed on the QEII project.
