Job Description
This is an exceptional opportunity for individuals eager to launch a rewarding career in the skilled trades, even without prior experience. Hiring.zycto is actively seeking dedicated and physically capable Ironworker Helpers to join our growing team in Eastern Gap, Toronto. We believe in investing in our talent, and for this role, we are committed to providing comprehensive, hands-on training from day one.

As an Ironworker Helper, you will be an integral part of our crew, assisting certified Ironworkers in all phases of steel erection and fabrication. Your role is crucial to the safe and efficient execution of projects, ranging from preparing materials and tools to assisting with the precise placement and securing of structural steel, reinforcing bars (rebar), and other metal components. This is a demanding but highly fulfilling position that offers a direct path to learning a valuable trade.
