Jobs in Kitchener, Ontario
Kitchener is part of Waterloo Region, one of Canada’s best-known technology centres, and shares a job market with Waterloo and Cambridge. Software, insurance, advanced manufacturing, education and health care are the leading employers.
The region’s two universities and its college feed a constant supply of co-op students into local companies, which means plenty of internships and entry-level roles but real competition for them. Startups and established tech firms sit downtown and in Waterloo’s research park, insurers have head offices in the area, and automotive and food manufacturers are concentrated in Cambridge near Highway 401. The ION light rail links Kitchener and Waterloo, and GO trains run to Toronto. See technology jobs and internships.
