Did Imperial Oil Cut Jobs in 2026?

Yes — Imperial Oil reportedly eliminated 130 roles in the first 3 months of 2026 as part of an ongoing restructuring.

The Canadian integrated oil producer, mostly owned by ExxonMobil, announced last fall that it’s selling its headquarters in southeast Calgary — affecting 900 employees — and moving certain jobs to Exxon’s global capacity centres.
