Ontario welder rates
Also called B-pressure welder, welder with rig, combo welder. Rates by SubTrack.
Ontario rates span GTA high-rise and utilities, Ottawa civil, and Northern mining support. Union density in the GTA is not the same as a Thunder Bay T&M job. The book shows CAD fully loaded charge-out ranges you still have to confirm on the sheet. Welder charge-out here is B-pressure and welder-with-rig. The rig truck is a different line from the ticket. These are fully loaded T&M hours, not a shop wage. In Ontario, a welder typically bills $150 /hr (range $125 to $170, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Quebec sits at $140 /hr, and Manitoba sits at $130 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
