Operations Jobs in Canada: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You want operations work in Canada and you want names, not vibes. As of 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed shows 194 open operations jobs in Canada, which is a count of open listings and not a market survey, so read it as a map of where to aim this week rather than a promise.

Of those 194, 145 were posted in the last 30 days and 95 landed in the last 7 days. Fresh listings get faster replies.

Who is hiring#

A handful of names carry most of the volume, and several of them are recruiters or staffing firms rather than the employer you would actually work for. Rentokil Initial has 22 open listings, Voyago has 16, Valard Construction has 16, Ubisoft has 9, Aviso Wealth has 8, and Charger Logistics Inc, Stranger Soccer, and Lyft each have 7, with Red Bull and CSN Collision at 4 apiece to round out the top ten.

Read that mix carefully. Big tech shows up through Ubisoft and Lyft. Financial services appears through Aviso Wealth. Construction and facilities work sits with Valard Construction and Rentokil Initial.

Logistics is loud. Voyago, Charger Logistics Inc, and Red Bull's supply chain role all point the same way. Consumer and service brands are hiring too, and that is where most of the part-time work hides.

What the roles look like#

Sample titles from the open listings give you the flavour. "Fuel and Lube Truck Driver" at Professional Excavators & Construction Inc. "Supply Chain Specialist" at Red Bull. "Reception + Retail Associates" at Tommy Gun's Original Barbershop. "Technical Manager" at Power Factors. "Licensed Autobody Technician" at CSN Collision. "Dispatch Coordinator" at Charger Logistics Inc. "Office Administrator" at Vomela. "Assistant Aquatics Manager" at WD Swim.

Skilled trades, dispatch, site coordination, back-office administration. That is the shape of this slice. If your background sits in any of those buckets, there is work here for you.

Where the jobs are#

Toronto leads with 23 open listings, Montreal has 21, Vancouver has 19, Calgary has 13, and Brampton has 7, so those five cities are where you should point your search first and then widen outward only if you are genuinely mobile. The rest of the country is thinner.

For scale, the whole country shows 1,255 open listings across all categories on JobRise, and the JobRise Hiring Report: Canada puts 880 of those posted in the last 30 days. Operations is a real slice of that, not a rounding error.

The job-type mix#

Full-time dominates: 170 listings. Part-time has 16. Contract has 8. Employers here want permanent heads on the floor, not project staff.

One blunt number. 0 of the 194 listings carry entry-level titles such as intern, graduate, junior, or trainee, which means if you are early career you will need to apply a notch above your current title and prove transferable skills in the cover letter instead of waiting for a graduate program to appear. Apply anyway.

Pay is mostly hidden. Only 2 of 194 listings show a salary, and both are at Cohere: "Office Manager & Security Coordinator" at CA$115K to CA$140K with equity, and "Contract Manager" at $140K to $280K with multiple ranges. Those are the posted numbers. Ranges vary by role and city, so verify current pay on the official listing or with the employer before you anchor on anything.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct wherever you can. When a listing names the employer, go to that employer's own careers page and submit there as well as through the job board, because direct applications land in front of the hiring team instead of sitting in a third-party queue that may never be read. Faster replies.

Mirror the listing's keywords in your resume. If the posting says "dispatch," "routing," and "carrier compliance," those exact words belong in your bullets when they describe your work, and the free ATS resume checker will show you whether your resume parses cleanly before you send it. Cheap insurance.

Here is a rewritten bullet using that approach. Before: "Helped with deliveries and talked to drivers." After: "Coordinated daily dispatch for 40+ delivery routes, resolving routing conflicts and carrier compliance issues within SLA." Same job, keyword-visible, and it names scale.

Your 7-step plan#

• Pick your top two cities from the list above and filter the 194 listings to those first.
• Open the operations jobs hub and sort by newest, since 95 listings landed in the last 7 days.
• Shortlist 10 roles that match at least 60 percent of the requirements. Do not chase 100 percent matches.
• Rewrite your top three bullets per application using the posting's exact nouns and verbs.
• Run each resume through the free ATS checker before you submit.
• Apply direct on the employer site and through the listing, then log the date and contact name.
• Follow up once after five business days with a two-line note restating fit.
