BOUCHERVILLE — Lowe’s Canada, a home improvement retailer operating or servicing over 450 corporate and affiliated stores under various banners, is launching a major spring hiring campaign today to fill over 5,000 positions in its Lowe’s, RONA, and Réno-Dépôt corporate store network.

“With the home improvement growth we have seen over the past two years, our network offers much more than just a job; it offers the perfect learning ground for anyone who wants to develop their skills and grow,” said Marc Macdonald, Senior Vice-President, Human Resources. “Whether it’s for laying the groundwork for a career filled with development opportunities or for a summer job to get hands-on home improvement experience, our store network offers Canadians looking for work an ideal environment to build a solid foundation for the future.”

Over the next two months, the retailer will be hosting national, provincial, and local hiring events where job seekers will have the chance to meet with members of its recruitment team to learn about the many career possibilities.

“Since advising customers is a priority for us, training is key. We therefore offer complete training to everyone joining our team as soon as they start working and then provide ongoing training to develop our staff’s skills and keep them up-to-date. Working in one of our stores is a fantastic opportunity for our recruits to gain knowledge that they can use throughout their lives, whether they pursue a career in home improvement or not,” said Nadine Chiasson, Director, Talent Acquisition at Lowe’s Canada.
