Cemetery Administrator (Deputy Superintendent)

Applicants must meet all qualifications and eligibility requirements by the closing date of the announcement as defined below.

Language Requirement
Because 16 of our 26 sites are in French-speaking countries, proficiency in French is a requirement for final selection for all of these positions. The Agency may correspond with applicants in French throughout the application process. Applicants will be evaluated by a third-party testing facility prior to interview to determine their proficiency in speaking and reading French using the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale. You should be prepared for a language evaluation immediately upon consideration. A minimum score of ILR speaking 2+ / reading 2+ is required to qualify. More information on the ILR scale is available online. If you are selected at the minimum score(s), you may require completing a language training program and/or re-test as a condition of continued employment.

Proficiency in languages other than French (particularly Italian, Dutch, Arabic, and Spanish), while not required for selection, should be indicated on your application.
