If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Assessment accommodation

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: It is the responsibility of the candidate to clearly outline that they meet each of the screening criteria (i.e. Education and Experience Qualifications, both Essential and Assets) by RESPONDING TO THE SCREENING QUESTIONS IN THE ONLINE APPLICATION. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather the candidate must provide concrete examples that illustrate how they meet the requirement. Lack of EXAMPLES and DETAILS may result in your application being rejected as the Assessment Board will have insufficient information to determine whether or not you meet the qualifications.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RESPONSES TO THE PRE-SCREENING QUESTIONS AND YOUR RESUME MAY BE USED TO EVALUATE YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY IN WRITING.

Although this advertisement is opened until November 2021, we invite you to apply as soon as possible as first draw from the inventory will take place in the upcoming weeks.

Please note that candidates who apply on this inventory and who are eliminated on the basis of essential education and experience criteria may be reconsidered again 6 months after the date of their elimination.

Candidates who are rejected or who fail the written exam, interview and / or reference check will not be eligible for re-assessment for this inventory.

Work environment

In joining the Internal Audit Sector as a Senior Internal Auditor, you will contribute to the provision of independent, timely and objective assurance and consulting services to senior management. We are building a strong, vibrant, and diverse team of professionals.
