Jobs in Nunavut
Nunavut’s jobs are found in Iqaluit and in communities such as Rankin Inlet, Cambridge Bay, Arviat and Baker Lake. Government is the largest employer by far, followed by health care, education, mining, construction and retail.
No roads connect Nunavut’s communities to each other or to southern Canada, so every job involves air travel and careful planning. Many positions include staff housing or a housing allowance, and it is worth confirming that in writing. Inuit make up most of the population, hiring policies give priority to Inuit candidates in many public roles, and knowledge of Inuktut is a real asset. Nurses, teachers, tradespeople and administrators are in steady demand. Browse healthcare jobs and education jobs.
