As a partner in the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) with the federal government, Irving Shipbuilding is at the forefront of shipbuilding in Canada.

As a direct result of our trusted partnership with the Government of Canada, Irving Shipbuilding is reinvesting in projects that reach beyond our shipyard.

Toxic Environment

ISI hires and promotes managers that don’t know how to manage people. The union makes everything more difficult. Supply chain is a revolving door. I wouldn’t recommend it.
