Project Manager

Skilled, knowledgeable people are critical to the success of the CSI group of companies.  There are career opportunities both within and across our group of companies.  In support of your continuing career development and growth, we would like to bring to your attention the employment opportunities available within your own company and those currently available across all of the CSI group of companies.

Should you be interested in investigating these opportunities, please follow the instructions outlined in each job ad OR if you know of a potential candidate, please promote the opportunity.

Intra-Company Application Process:

Ideally all employees should feel confident in their ability to have an open and candid discussion with their immediate manager about career interests and career plans.

 However, in recognition that not all employees may have this rapport with their manager, our intra-company application process will, as a first step, ensure that employees have the opportunity to investigate career opportunities with assurance that their initial interest will be held in strict confidence.  Consequently, the following application process has been established:

If you are interested in an opportunity at one of the CSI group of companies, please contact the individual listed in the company job ad. They can provide you with details about the opportunity and will do a preliminary assessment as to your suitability for the position.

Should both you and the company wish to proceed further, you will go through the initial interview process.

After this initial interview if there is interest by both you and the company to move forward, you will be required to communicate your interest in this opportunity with your current manager.  Human Resources will also be made aware of your interest and will make available to the hiring company performance related and other reference material.

Again, if required, confidentiality at the onset will allow you to investigate options across the CSI group of companies.  However, once mutual interest is established, you will need to speak to your manager before the interview process continues.  We believe that it is important that you initiate an open discussion with your current manager about your career interests and permit him/her to understand and respond to this interest.
