Toronto, Ontario — Rivian has announced that it will be ramping up hiring for its soon-to-open service centres in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec as it prepares to begin delivering vehicles to customers in early 2024.
Specifically, the automaker expects to employ “a few dozen” staff at each of the new locations which will be featured in Calgary, Alta., Montreal, Que., and Vaughn, Ont., according to Rivian spokesperson, Miranda Jimenez.
Hiring has already begun, and the automaker has several dozen active job listings across the three planned cities. The primary roles currently being listed are for service roles, mobile operations and vehicle intake and delivery.
To complement its service centre in Vaughan, Rivian is also planning an onsite office for its Ontario customer support teams in the Toronto suburb.
Rivian plans to begin delivering vehicles in Ontario and Alberta “very early next year” Jimenez said, with Quebec likely to follow toward the end of the first quarter of 2024.
To date, Rivian has shipped vehicles exclusively to Canadian customers in British Columbia from its base in Metro Vancouver. The company has a service centre in Richmond, an office in the downtown neighbourhood of Yaletown and a showroom in Burnaby that opened in July.
As the California-based EV maker bolsters its Canadian network, it is also preparing to unveil a smaller and cheaper line of vehicles known as the Rivian R2.
