Linamar competes in markets that are truly global in nature. Linamar’s OEM customers in the Light Vehicle, Commercial Truck and Off Highway segments are increasingly asking their key suppliers to support their global operations wherever in the world that may be. This means that Linamar’s employees have work opportunities to travel to overseas locations and take international work assignments that help ensure technical skills, global operating procedures (GOS) and company best practices are consistently applied in all of our world class facilities.
Linamar is a truly global corporation and the composition of our workforce reflects the scope of that business operation. Our Canadian operations are rich with diversity. Linamar has a long history of embracing diversity in the workplace dating back to the early days of the company. Our Chairman has always had a philosophy that reward and recognition are based on the employee's skills, abilities and accomplishments, nothing more.
In the first few years of the life of a Moso Bamboo tree the only growth seen is that of its underground root system. Once a solid foundation is formed, the tree then grows rapidly at several feet per day. This analogy is representative of our employee's career development.
The Grow With Us Series Includes:
- Technical & Trades Apprenticeships
- Linamar Entrepreneurial Advancement Program (LEAP)

- Linamar Leadership Development Program (LLDP 1 & 2)
Linamar believes the best future leaders of the company come from within the company. With that concept in mind, Linamar has created an internal goal that 70% of all new positions or current openings must be filled from within its current employee base. This means increased opportunities for professional advancement and promotion for those employees who choose to build their career at Linamar.
