Greater Montréal
The area, in brief
Greater Montréal is the most active work region in Quebec according to the CCQ, which groups together the Montréal island, Montérégie, and Laval–Laurentides–Lanaudière zones; the CCQ identifies this region as the main hub for major infrastructure projects planned over the medium term, with replacement labour needs estimated at roughly 9,400 new workers per year for 2025-2029.
The rate
$27.22 – $48.45 / hour (journeyperson: $45.45 civil engineering, $48.37 industrial, $45.36 residential; May 2025 data)
Wage rates are set by Quebec construction industry collective agreements and vary by sector (industrial, civil engineering and roads, institutional-commercial, residential). If there's any discrepancy, the official collective agreement text takes precedence over any other tool. Check the official current grid at ccq.org or via the CCQ's wage rate tool.
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
What's the difference between a CCA and a CCC?
The CCA (apprentice competency certificate) is your entry ticket into the trade: you get it with your industrial mechanics DEP and a job guarantee. The CCC (journeyperson competency certificate) is the full trade credential, which you earn after 6,000 apprenticeship hours and passing the provincial qualification exam.
Where will I find the most work as a millwright?
Mainly in industrial (60% of hours in 2024) and civil engineering and roads (32%). Institutional-commercial makes up about 8% of opportunities. Large infrastructure sites and industrial projects are your best bet.
Can I work anywhere in Quebec?
Yes. About 38% of millwrights travel between regions to follow the work. It's a mobile trade, especially for industrial projects out in the regions.
