As a partner in the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) with the federal government, the Halifax Shipyard is at the forefront of shipbuilding in Canada. In 2011, Irving Shipbuilding was selected through the competitive and transparent NSS to construct Canada’s future naval combatant fleet. Since then, we have invested more than $400 million to build North America’s most modern shipyard and provide Canada with needed shipbuilding capability.
As a direct result of our trusted partnership with the Government of Canada, Irving Shipbuilding is reinvesting in projects that reach beyond our shipyard. We believe that it is not enough that the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships and River-class destroyers serve and protect the Royal Canadian Navy. When we build in Canada, we invest in Canadians directly.
At Irving Shipbuilding, we are committed to building the best ships, with the best workforce in the best facilities. By joining our team of more than 2,400 shipbuilders, you can enjoy a dynamic, diverse, and family-friendly career with a company dedicated to your success, health, wellness, and safety.
