You can apply using a variety of options. Some of our roles require supporting documents in order to be considered, so please be sure to attach any necessary documents. Here are a few tips to make your resumé stand out:

• Keep your resume short and concise and customize it to each job you apply for.
• Review the job description and highlight how you meet the requirements.

Once you’ve completed your application, a confirmation email will be sent to you to complete your profile. Your resume will be reviewed by our recruitment/hiring team to ensure your skills and experience meets the criteria. All of our applicants are reviewed fairly. Good luck!

Depending on the position that you applied for, you could potentially have anywhere between one and four interviews. These interviews could be a combination of phone interviews, virtual interviews, in-person interviews or panel interviews. The various steps could include:

• An initial phone interview with the Cogir recruitment team to help us understand your past experience and current interests.
• An interview with the subject matter expert to assess technical capabilities.
• An in-depth interview with the hiring team that considers overall fit within the larger team. For many of the roles, this could be the final interview.
• For some of the Corporate and Site Management roles, there could be an additional interview with a senior leader.

 
After each interview is completed, the team will let you know if you are moving forward to the next round of interviews or if they have decided to proceed with a different candidate.
 
Your candidate experience is important to us. Remember, you’re also interviewing us – so don’t be shy! We look forward to your questions as well. Think about what you would like to learn about us.
 

After the interviews are done, a final decision will be made on your candidacy. If you’re the successful candidate for the role, the next steps could look like this:

• You provide us with professional references.
• We reach out to you with an offer. The offer is generated online and is shared with you electronically for review and sign-off.
• Once you’ve accepted, a criminal background check and/or vulnerable sector check is/are completed or obtained.
• You are asked to collect and submit any additional paperwork that is required.

 
If you aren’t selected, we’ll also be sure to let you know via phone or email.
