Assessment accommodation

Work environment

The Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA) is part of an international anti-corruption initiative that requires certain oil, gas and mining companies to annually publish reports containing payments they make to governments around the world. The data generated by ESTMA reports is intended to help deter corruption in the extractive sector by enabling communities to hold their governments to account for the revenues generated by natural resources.

The ESTMA Program is seeking candidates for positions within its compliance unit to assist with conducting research and analysis of extractive companies to help ensure that they comply with their legislative requirements. This may include participating in desk and site audits, as well as other compliance monitoring and enforcement activities.

If you meet the positions’ requirements, are interested in being part of a multidisciplinary team, and would like to contribute to the global fight against corruption, we encourage you to apply
