How do I apply for a position?
You forward your application in line with the instructions contained in the advertisement. The job description will be available from our website or can be sent to you on request.
Will I receive a response?
Emailed applications will receive an automatic receipt.
Applications delivered by post will receive a letter of acknowledgement.
Please not that only short-listed candidates will be contacted regarding the next step in the recruitment process.
Unsuccessful applications will be destroyed in line with National Privacy Principles unless we contact you to advise that we want to keep your resume for future opportunities.
Can I apply for more than one role?
You may apply for more than one role. Please apply for each position with a new application.
Can I register for future opportunities?
We encourage applicants to register for future opportunities and this may be done at any time by emailing a copy of your resume and a brief cover letter to: humanresources@atec.asn.au. Details will be held for a period of 12 months after which your details will be destroyed in line with National Privacy Principles.
Who has the ability to see my profile?
Our Human Resources staff will have access to your profile. Should a suitable vacancy arise within ATEC during the 12 months, your details will be passed to our relevant manager for consideration.
How long until a decision is made?
We endeavour to shortlist for interviews as soon as possible after applications close, and update our Vacancy Register on the website to keep applicants informed regarding the vacancy status.
When we have an immediate vacancy, in lieu of a closing date applications may be reviewed on receipt there applicants are encouraged to apply without delay.
If you are required for an interview you will be phoned or emailed regarding a suitable time.
What is the usual interview process?
Our pool of candidates is drawn from internal and external applications in response to the advertisement, from cold canvass registrations held on file and from internal referrals. We rarely use recruitment agencies.
On arrival for your interview there will be an application for employment form to complete; our application for employment informs candidates of basic conditions of employment. The interview itself is usually with a panel of 2-3 people. If, after interviewing, you are the preferred candidate you will be required to undertake a pre-employment health assessment and a police clearance check for working with children.
Will I have to provide referees?
If you are short-listed for an interview you will be required to provide referees; preferably names and phone numbers accompanying your application.
We realise that you may not wish for us to contact your current employer.
