Jobs in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

St. John’s is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and the service centre for its offshore oil industry. The provincial government, the health system, Memorial University, the oil sector’s supply and engineering firms, and retail are the largest employers.

Offshore work is run from here: supply vessels, helicopters and engineering offices all operate out of the city, and the crews themselves work rotations at sea. Memorial’s marine institute and a group of ocean technology companies have built a specialty in marine research and equipment. Tourism and the fishery add seasonal jobs from late spring. Nearby Mount Pearl, Paradise and Conception Bay South share the same job market, and Metrobus serves the core. Browse engineering jobs and healthcare jobs.
