At PSPC, we are committed to achieving a competent, representative workforce that reflects the diversity of the Canadian population. We work hard to create a welcoming, respectful and inclusive workplace through a variety of programs and initiatives. In fact, we have been named one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for the seventh year in a row and here is a list of some of our diversity and inclusion achievements:
• five diversity networks;

• a national Reconciliation and Indigenous Engagement Unit;
• an Ombudsman for Mental Health (the first such position within the federal public service);
• an Accessibility Office and;
• a Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) Centre of Expertise.

While many programs and initiatives have already been implemented in line with our commitments to diversity and inclusion, we aim to get better! That's why we invite you to be part of the change by joining an organization where individual differences are recognized, valued and respected. Be part of the solution!

Intent of the process

📢 The intent of the process is to create a pool of partially qualified candidates to staff identical or similar positions with bilingual language requirements, various security requirements, and/or terms within the Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada across Canada.

Current needs: 1 indeterminate (permanent) position in Gatineau* and 1 indeterminate (permanent) position either in Montréal, Québec or Rimouski.

Anticipatory requirements: 1 indeterminate (permanent) position in Gatineau* and 1 indeterminate (permanent) position either in Montréal, Québec or Rimouski

📢 * A telework arrangement could be considered from any location in Canada where a PSPC or GC Office is accessible.

🔶𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲🔶
PSPC has transitioned to a hybrid workplace that will see employees work on site at least 2–3 days each week, or 40–60% of their regular schedule. This may mean different mixes of working from home and from the office at different times. The co-working spaces and branch neighborhoods enable a workplace that allows for a purposeful presence in the office and room to collaborate. Please view the Network of spaces at PSPC (link above) for more information.

A pool of partially assessed candidates may be established through this process to staff identical or similar positions, within the Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada, with bilingual linguistic requirements, security requirements and/or tenures.
