Thompson is seeing more help-wanted signs these days, with the number of active job listings in the city climbing to 97 as of June 24, 2026, according to job search site Eluta.ca. Full-time positions make up 82 of the openings, with part-time work accounting for the rest.
The fresh listings span several sectors, but healthcare, retail, and aviation are leading the way. Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc. is looking for a Pharmacy Manager and Store Operator to run its Clarke’s Pharmacy location at 50 Selkirk Avenue. The role puts someone in charge of a local pharmacy that serves residents in the heart of the city.
On the aviation side, MDS Aero Support Corporation needs an Administrative Assistant for a short-term contract running from August to December 2026. The job supports the GLACIER aircraft engine testing facility south of Thompson, a world-class site where Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney Canada, as joint venture partners, test how engines handle icy conditions.
Retail is also adding positions. The North West Company is hiring a Store Manager for its Giant Tiger location on Thompson Drive, one of only five Giant Tiger stores the company kept after a major downsizing in 2020. Other retailers like Walmart Canada and Ardene are also listing openings, from stock unloader to store manager roles.
These 97 jobs reflect Thompson’s role as the service hub for northern Manitoba, a city of about 13,000 that supports more than 51,000 people in the wider region. For job seekers, the mix of healthcare, trades, retail, and aviation roles means there are options for different skills and schedules across the community.
