Pipelayer, Civil Construction

We build the foundations that communities grow on. From roads and bridges to underground utilities and mine infrastructure, MacKay takes on the civil construction projects others avoid. With over 40 years of proven performance, we continue to expand across Western Canada — and we’re looking for skilled Pipelayers who take pride in precision, safety, and getting the job done right the first time.

Water, sewer, and storm systems — what you install today supports families and businesses for decades to come. Working closely with the Civil Foreman and utilities crew, you’ll ensure installations are completed safely, accurately, and in alignment with project drawings and production targets. Your attention to grade, elevation, and quality directly impacts the long-term success of every project. This isn’t just pipe in the ground — it’s critical infrastructure done right.
