Working the trades in the Sea to Sky

Most of these jobs are at small shops: a few trucks, an owner who still swings a hammer, and crews that move between Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton depending on the week.

Who's behind TradeMates

TradeMates is run by Chad DeAbreu from Pemberton, as part of TradeBrain. We've spent five years hiring and building hiring systems for trades businesses, and hire for our own Sea to Sky crews every season. Read how one cleaning company fixed its hiring.

How it works

Does it cost anything?

No. TradeMates is free for tradespeople, always. You will never pay us to find you work.

What happens after I apply?

You book a 15-minute phone call. We hear what you're after: full-time or contract, how far you'll travel, the pay you want and when you can start. Then we look for the right shop.

Who would I work for?

The shop that hires you. You join their crew, on their payroll, from day one.

Will you share my details?

Not without asking you first. We check with you before your name goes to any employer.

Which trades?

Electricians, plumbers and gasfitters, HVAC and refrigeration, carpenters and framers, general and construction labourers, landscapers, window and exterior cleaners, painters, roofers, drywallers, equipment operators, service techs and apprentices in any trade.

Where?

Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton first, then North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Langley and the Fraser Valley. Open to travelling further or camp work? Say so when you apply.
