Our record of providing trained, dedicated, and experienced professionals with just one phone call is why contractors continue to nurture their relationship with the MRCO and feel confident recommending our services to industry partners.

Training. The MRCO considers training a top priority. Our millwrights acquire superior skills through industry and OHSA-approved training, and remain up-to-date through skill-upgrade programs. This keeps your company compliant, competitive, and profitable while completing your projects On Time, Every Time.

We will provide special training to meet that challenge effectively. We are committed to keeping our members on the leading edge of innovations in techniques and materials, and we actively pursue training to support that commitment. We believe that our no-nonsense approach to education is how our millwrights are able to complete your project on time and on budget.

We provide a comprehensive training program for both positions. Supervisors trained by the Millwright Regional Council of Ontario are better able to plan, schedule, control costs, and understand contracts while managing changes, claims and negotiations. Both programs strengthen practical skills like accident prevention, project management, loss control and productivity.

Project enabled agreements are our way of showing that we are serious about customer service, and let you experience first-hand the true bottom line benefits that our work force delivers.
