Assessment accommodation

The Environmental Protection Branch is committed to building a skilled and diverse workforce that reflects the Canadians it serves. We promote employment equity and encourage you to indicate if you belong to one of the designated groups when you apply.

You must meet all essential qualifications to be appointed to a position. Other qualifications may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed. It is your responsibility to provide appropriate examples that illustrate how you meet each qualification. Failing to do so could result in your application being rejected.

To apply for this process:
• Provide your resume (no cover letter needed); and
• Answer a questionnaire online.
When you respond to the questionnaire you will be asked a series of screening questions based on the education and experience criteria below. When answering the screening questions, you must provide:
• concrete and detailed examples to demonstrate how you meet the qualifications. The information provided must enable the Selection Board Members to understand HOW (clear explanation of your specific contribution and duties), WHEN and for HOW LONG (date and length of time in months or years), and WHERE (employer and geographic location) the experience was acquired.

We cannot make any assumptions about your experience. Simply saying you have the required qualifications or listing your current duties is not enough. We will only use your résumé as a secondary source of information. The depth and breadth of experience of an applicant may be considered as part of screening or selection of a candidate, which is why you are required to describe your experience in detail. The screening questions are the primary source of information the screening board will use and your resume will only be used as a secondary source to verify information.

Only on-line applications received via the Public Service Jobs site will be accepted. Further documentation and applications emailed to the poster contact will not be accepted. Acknowledgment of receipt of applications will not be sent. You will only be asked for further documentation if you are contacted for further assessment.

General inquiries may be sent to the poster contact, see contact information below.
