What a sign installation and service technician earns depends on skill, tickets, and where they work. Because the skilled core spans fabrication, working at heights, and the electrical connection on illuminated signs, the band is wide, and heights, crane and lift skills, and electrical-sign qualifications lift the top end. The table below shows the official Job Bank wage band by province for 2026.
These are hourly low-to-high bands from Job Bank Canada, classified under NOC 73200 (Residential and commercial installers and servicers), updated November 19, 2025. The national median is $26.00 per hour.
| Province | Hourly low to high |
|---|---|
| British Columbia | $20.00 to $43.53 |
| Alberta | $18.00 to $44.00 |
| Saskatchewan | $18.00 to $31.50 |
| Manitoba | $17.00 to $32.00 |
| Ontario | $18.00 to $40.00 |
| Quebec | $20.00 to $40.00 |
| New Brunswick | $20.00 to $32.00 |
| Nova Scotia | $16.88 to $36.00 |
| Prince Edward Island | $19.00 to $32.21 |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | $18.00 to $30.00 |
The territories are not shown because Job Bank does not publish a wage band for this occupation in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or Yukon.
What drives the spread
- The broad, mixed nature of NOC 73200, which puts entry-tier and skilled roles in one group
- Working-at-heights and lift and crane tickets, and electrical-sign qualifications, which lift the top end
- Illuminated, architectural, and digital-display work, which pays for skill
- Cost of living and commercial construction, which lift pay in British Columbia and Alberta, where sign-installer demand concentrates
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 73200, a broad group, so the low end reflects entry-tier work and the high end reflects skilled electric and architectural sign technicians. A technician with heights and equipment tickets and electrical-sign qualifications sits toward the top, especially on illuminated signage.
