Careers

People is a Core Value at Tomlinson. We hold a high interest in developing and retaining exceptional employees who are committed to their career growth and development.

In 2014, we launched Tomlinson University – Building Tomorrow’s Leaders. TU provides in-house training sessions and workshops, mentorship programs and various bursary awards programs for both our employees and their family members.

In addition, we have made the following partnerships and show our dedication to employee advancement by doing the following:

• We have partnered with the Bell Leadership Institute where employees and managers participate in seminars designed to build world-class personal skills to lead others by developing the core competencies of great leaders.
• We are a supporter of the Ontario Road Builders Association (ORBA). This association offers Gold Seal Certified courses specifically designed for our industry.
• We have partnered with Algonquin College in the design of our in-house training programs.  A number of our courses offered result in college-level credits or certificates.

All of our employees receive performance and development reviews with their managers to discuss current performance, ongoing development and career plans within Tomlinson.

 

At Tomlinson we believe strongly in giving back to the communities in which we live, work and play. We have become widely recognized as a supporter of local causes throughout Eastern Ontario. Our employees are community leaders. We are actively involved with various charities and associations – whether as board members or volunteers.
