ExxonMobil closing Moncton office, 250 jobs to be lost
Employees at the multinational oil company's office on Ocean Limited Way in Moncton were informed Wednesday.
According to the provincial government, the jobs at the business support centre will be cut between June this year and December 2026.
"There are no plans or opportunities for staff redeployment within the company," states an email from the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, which was obtained by Radio-Canada.
A spokesperson for the U.S. oil company confirmed the closure in a brief statement.
"We've decided to close our Moncton office as we focus on other global business centers," Michelle Gray, a spokesperson for ExxonMobil, said in an email Thursday.
"This decision was not made lightly, and we thank the Moncton workforce for their dedication and service."
The company didn't say what led to the decision. CBC News has asked the company for more information.
The email from the provincial government says the company is committed to supporting the affected employees and is offering counsellors and benefits. The email also says the province will offer additional assistance through the WorkingNB portal.
The job losses are the latest in a series of cuts the company has made to its workforce in the province.
In 2013, it announced the closure of its Saint John office, which affected 210 jobs. The company said it was consolidating operations in Moncton. At the time, the company had 1,100 employees in the province.
