Which Career Path is Right for Your Future?

The UBC represents one trade with many crafts. Our members touch every aspect of a construction project; they’re frequently first on the job and the last to leave. Carpenters and millwrights create and maintain commercial, residential, institutional and industrial structures through the skill and experience that is established only by union training. Our varied work today stems from the many products that once were made entirely of wood. Our members have vastly different skill sets, but they share a pride and commitment to excellence.

One Trade. Many Crafts.

Carpenters

Carpenters do crucial work on almost every type of structure found in our world. From skyscrapers and hospitals to office buildings, schools, hotels, bridges, highways, other infrastructure, and beyond, carpenters are responsible for bringing blueprints to life.

millwrights

“Precision” is the standard work product of millwrights. These professionals are experts in the use of tools and instruments that allow them to install equipment to specifications as exact as a thousandth of an inch. Millwrights perform mission-critical work in very diverse industries.
