Jobs in Calgary, Alberta

Calgary has one of the largest concentrations of corporate head offices in Canada, most of them tied to energy. That makes engineering, geoscience, finance, accounting, IT and project management the backbone of the downtown job market, with health care, construction, logistics and a growing technology sector alongside.

Hiring follows energy prices more closely here than elsewhere, so it pays to keep your skills transferable. Away from the office towers, the airport and rail yards in the northeast and southeast support warehouse, trucking and aviation jobs, and the Stampede and nearby mountain resorts create seasonal work. The CTrain reaches downtown from most quadrants, but industrial areas usually need a car. Compare with jobs in Edmonton, or browse engineering jobs and finance jobs.
