To submit an application on-line, please click on the button "Apply online" below.

Persons with disabilities preventing them from applying on-line are asked to contact 1-800-645-5605.

All communication received from candidates throughout the staffing process may be used to assess qualifications on the Statement of Merit Criteria.

Candidates must clearly describe in their application and on-line questionnaire how they meet all Essential Education and Experience requirements and any applicable Asset Experience factors. Failure to provide sufficient information may result in candidates being screened out. Asset qualifications may be used for screening and/or rating.

Candidates should be prepared to provide proof of education and citizenship. If you have obtained education outside Canada, you will be required to submit proof of evaluation of Canadian equivalency.

Receipt of applications will not be sent; we will contact successful candidates when the screening process is completed.

A Written Test, Interview and Reference Checks may be conducted.

The primary assessment location will be in Hodgson, MB. Candidates from outside the federal public service who are invited to written exams and/or interviews will be responsible for travel and accommodation expenses.

Candidates must meet each essential qualification to be appointed to the position. A candidate may be appointed to the position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications or organizational needs. However, meeting one or more of these criteria is desirable and may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed. Candidates must meet and maintain the conditions of employment throughout their employment.

For this selection process, it is our intention to communicate with candidates via email for screening and assessment purposes. This will include communication of screening results and invitations to written tests and interviews. To that end, candidates must include a valid email address in their application. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that this address is functional and that it accepts messages from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email). It is also the candidate’s responsibility to ensure accurate information is provided and updated as required.

Achieving a representative workforce has been identified as an organizational need in the merit criteria, and may be applied in this appointment process. You may also voluntarily self-identify as a member of a designated group for employment equity purposes.
Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice. Applicants are asked to indicate their preferred official language in their application.

The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled, diverse workforce reflective of Canadian society. As a result, it promotes employment equity and encourages candidates to indicate voluntarily on their application if they are a woman, an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability or a member of a visible minority group.

The Public Service of Canada is also committed to developing inclusive, barrier-free selection processes and work environments. If contacted in relation to a job opportunity or testing, you should advise the Public Service Commission or the departmental official in a timely fashion of the accommodation measures which must be taken to enable you to be assessed in a fair and equitable manner. Information received relating to accommodation measures will be addressed confidentially.
