Work environment

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗦𝗣𝗖!
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) helps the Government of Canada serve Canadians. With a strong focus on quality customer service, we provide innovative common services such as real estate and building management, purchasing, banking, pay and pensions, and translation to other government departments, agencies, and boards. By providing these centralized services to departments and agencies, we enable them to focus on what they do best: providing their programs and services to Canadians.

At PSPC, our approach to inclusion is simple: we are committed to achieving a competent and representative workforce that reflects the diversity of the Canadian population we serve, and strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment that enables collaboration and innovation. When you succeed, we all succeed.

The Print Centres (PCs) are responsible for providing printing, insertion, and distribution services on behalf of clients, departments, and federal agencies. The PCs are responsible for cheque issuance, secure document printing, report production, and the handling of special mailouts.

The work environment of the PCs resembles that of a factory—noisy and dusty. Employees must work under pressure and meet prescribed deadlines. The DA-PRO’s work consists of operating printers and inserters.

On-site training will be provided.

📌 TIPS FOR CANDIDATES: When responding to the selection questions, be sure to provide complete and detailed information about your experience. Do not assume that the selection board has prior knowledge of your background, qualifications, or work history. You must be specific and provide concrete examples/details for each element related to the experience, as applications will be assessed solely on the basis of the information provided. If you do not provide sufficient information, your application may be rejected.

📌 HOW TO RESPOND TO SCREENING QUESTIONS
When you apply to this selection process, you will be asked to answer screening questions related to the essential qualifications for education and experience, as well as asset experience qualifications.
