Ottawa/Gatineau Jobs

Jobs in Gatineau

Gatineau offers a French-language job market next door to the federal capital. It has major federal office complexes, a full Quebec public network, and the option of working in Ottawa without moving.

Who hires in Gatineau

The Hull sector holds large federal office complexes, including Place du Portage and Terrasses de la Chaudière. Those positions belong to the federal government and go through GC Jobs, even though they sit in Quebec.

The rest of the market is Quebec-run: the Outaouais health and social services network, the school service centres, the City of Gatineau, the Université du Québec en Outaouais, the Cégep de l'Outaouais, plus retail and construction.

Working in Ottawa, living in Gatineau

This is the region's most common arrangement, and the one with the most administrative surprises: taxes in two jurisdictions, health insurance card, child care, driver's licence.

The interprovincial bridges and the Société de transport de l'Outaouais connect both shores, but rush hour remains the main thing to weigh before accepting a job across the river.

Language of work

On the Quebec side, French is the normal language of work, and English is mostly an asset in roles dealing with Ottawa-side clients or federal employers.

This page covers Gatineau and its historic sectors: Hull, Aylmer and Buckingham.
