How to Get a Job at Canadian Tire

Short answer: Each Canadian Tire store is owned and run by an independent Associate Dealer who hires their own staff, so you apply to a particular store. Corporate, distribution and banner roles such as Sport Chek and Mark’s are hired by Canadian Tire Corporation through its careers site.

How is the company organized?

Canadian Tire Corporation is based in Toronto. Alongside the Canadian Tire stores, its family of companies includes Sport Chek, Mark’s, PartSource, Pro Hockey Life and a financial services arm. That gives it an unusually wide range of jobs for a retailer.

What do store jobs involve?

  • sales associates by department: automotive, sporting goods, tools, housewares, seasonal
  • cashiers and customer service desk
  • warehouse and receiving, including early morning truck unloading
  • automotive service: apprentices, licensed technicians, tire installers and service advisors
  • garden centre staff in spring and summer

Product knowledge is valued. If you fish, camp, play hockey or fix cars, say so and ask for that department.

How do you apply to a store?

Because the dealer is the employer, pay, benefits and scheduling vary from store to store. Apply to the specific store online, and consider following up in person with the department or store manager. Tire season, in fall and spring, is when automotive service bays are busiest and hire extra hands.

How do you apply for corporate roles?

Head office, technology, supply chain and banner positions are listed at careers.canadiantire.ca. The company runs student work terms of four, eight or twelve months and rotational programs for recent graduates.
