Ottawa/Gatineau Jobs

Jobs in Kanata

Kanata is the region's technology hub. The Kanata North business park gathers hundreds of companies in telecommunications, semiconductors, photonics and software, alongside a growing residential area.

Technology first

Kanata North describes itself as Canada's largest technology park. It hosts major networking and optics companies, including Nokia, Ciena and Ericsson, plus a fabric of small firms and startups.

The profiles in demand are technical: software and hardware engineering, testing, advanced manufacturing, product management. Many of these employers post on their own recruiting platform rather than on general job boards.

Not only technology

The area also has retail, food service and personal service jobs around its malls and sports facilities, plus education and health positions serving a growing population.

This page covers Kanata and the neighbouring Stittsville and Carp areas.

The commute matters

Kanata sits at the far west end of the city. An on-site job means a car or a fairly long bus trip from the core, which is part of why hybrid arrangements are common among the area's technology employers.
