1. Who are we?
We are a federal government organization charged with conducting transportation investigations in order to identify safety deficiencies and make recommendations to mitigate or eliminate those risks to advance transportation safety. When we identify an issue that appears to be recurring, we also conduct special investigations or safety studies to uncover underlying risks.
Our organization is an operational one, meaning we do more than desk duty. We deploy to the field to investigate; we conduct research and study projects; we analyze transportation occurrences; we communicate and publish our reports, findings and recommendations. With a workforce of about 230, we are committed to providing our people with the human resources, financial, information management and technology foundation necessary to fulfill our mandate and achieve our mission.
While the scope of our mandate is national, we often work in partnership with our international counterparts, such as the National Transportation Safety Board in the United States and the Australian Transportation Safety Board. We also provide assistance to other international organizations concerned with advancing transportation safety world-wide, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Marine Organization. Working at the TSB is more than a job and as you can see from our Chair's message, this sentiment extends throughout the organization.
A Message from the Chair
Not everybody can say his/her job makes life safer for an entire country. Then again, not everybody works at the Transportation Safety Board. Since 1990, we've been deploying to accident sites across Canada, interviewing witnesses and examining evidence to answer three key questions: what happened, why, and how can we stop it from happening again? That's a tall order, but the people who work here are up to the task.
TSB employees are qualified, dedicated experts who take pride in what they do. Whether they're in the field or behind a desk, sifting through wreckage, facing the media, or balancing the books, their contributions have made us a world leader in accident investigation changing laws, upgrading equipment, and improving operating practices at home and across the globe. But it's a challenge, especially in a country as large and geographically varied as Canada. Downed or missing planes, train derailments, exploding pipelines, capsized fishing vessels no two days are alike: in Vancouver, Halifax, or anywhere in between.
Knowing that you've made a difference, though, is worth it. In fact, we think that's why a Public Service employee survey rated us one of the top 10 places to work because at the end of the day, we're all working toward a common goal. I'm proud to be a part of the TSB, proud to be a part of an organization that strives to make transportation safer, one investigation at a time. Want to help us make a difference? Think you have what it takes? Check us out.
Sincerely,
Wendy Tadros

3. Casual Employment
What is casual employment and am I eligible?
At the TSB, casual workers are most often hired as short-term replacements for staff and to help manage heavy workloads. At the more senior levels, casuals are used to bring in an expertise in order to support a special project or to transfer knowledge. Many times the skill set of a former federal public service employee is the ideal skill set needed to support a special project, or the individual has key knowledge that would benefit federal public servants.
Should you be interested in casual employment at the TSB, please send your resume to casuals.occasionnels@bst-tsb.gc.ca. Your resume will be retained on files but please note that you will only be contacted if a casual opportunity becomes available and you meet the requirements.
Casual Employment FAQs
In the meantime, here are some FAQs that may help you decide if you are or want to be a candidate for casual employment:
Who are casual workers?
Casual workers are hired for specified periods that may not exceed 90 working days in one calendar year, in a department or in an agency to which the Public Service Commission (PSC) has exclusive authority to make appointments. The period of casual employment may be for one or more than one term, but is not to exceed 90 working days in a department or agency in a calendar year.
Are casual workers employees of the department/agency in which they are hired?
No. Casual workers are not considered as employees of the department/agency nor are they employees of the federal public service. They are not considered employees under the Public Service Labour Relations Act (PSLRA).
How are casual workers hired?
Casual workers are hired through an appointment process; however, the hiring process including the casual appointment itself is exempt from the provisions of the PSEA (except for Section 50). As such, a full assessment of merit is not required in hiring a casual worker.
More information regarding the specifics about casual employment can be found at Casual Worker: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.

7. Tips for the Job Seeker
So, you've done your research, and you've found a job posting you find exciting. You want to compete for it and you want to win. But how do you prepare in order to gain advantage over your competition? Here are some tips that will help you get there.
Resume Preparation - Make it work for you
When applying for a position, you need to market yourself so that you stand out from your competitor. Your resume is the tool for doing this. However, a resume can work against you if it is ineffective in selling your skills, knowledge and experience. Use your resume to your advantage; it can make the difference between getting your foot in the door or not.

Need help understanding job poster terminology?
Here's your dictionary!
Anticipatory Staffing
Anticipatory staffing occurs when a position is expected to be required in the future. Expected is the operative word; although it is anticipated that the position will be needed, there is no confirmed requirement. If you are applying for this type of position, be aware that, at the end of the competition process, the position may be filled at that time, in the future or may not be filled at all.
Assessment Criteria
Assessment criteria are used to evaluate whether you meet the requirements of the position as well as conditions of employment. These criteria are predetermined and assigned a test score. A selection panel uses these criteria and their score during the actual staffing action to rate candidates. Thus, all candidates are evaluated equally, and it is the results based on the assessment criteria that will determine whether or not a candidate is successful in a competition.
Assessment Method
There are many options available to assess candidates, such as interviews, tests, role-plays, simulations, and reference checks. Each competition is different and will use different assessment methods or combination thereof. Typically, the method used will be a reflection of the requirements of the job position.
Asset
Assets may be indicated in the screening and/or assessment criteria section of a competition poster. An asset is considered as a "bonus" or "nice to have." Although candidates who have the asset criteria listed may be given preference in a competition, those who do not have them can still be considered if they meet the other criteria.
Classification Level
The classification level takes into consideration the duties, accountability and responsibility of a position. The work description is one source of information used to determine the occupational group allocation (AS, TI, AO-CAI) and classification level of the position (AS-02, TI-07, AO-CAI-03) based on predetermined classification evaluation standards and methods. The classification level is linked to the salary range for the position which is determined by the collective bargaining process.
Pool of qualified candidates
A pool of qualified candidates may be created when there is more than one successful candidate for a selection process. If a similar position becomes available within a specified timeframe, an individual may be appointed from the pool. If a pool is to be created, a note to this effect will be included on the selection process poster.
Language Requirements
In the public service, positions require knowledge of English, French or both.
Three letters are used to depict language requirements (e.g., CBC, BBB, etc.). The first letter refers to the required language competency in Reading, the second to Writing, and the third to Oral Interaction. Letters C, B, and A indicate skill levels as follows:
- C - Superior
- B - Intermediate
- A - Minimum
- (-) No requirement
So, for example, a CBC language requirement would mean you must have superior reading skills, intermediate writing skills, and superior oral skills.
Get more information on second language evaluation.
Screening Criteria
Screening criteria list what an applicant must possess in order to be considered for the job. The list includes minimum education and experience requirements for the position. As an applicant, you must clearly demonstrate within the context of your application (r sum and cover letter) that you meet the screening criteria listed in order to be considered for further evaluation.
See more definitions of poster terminology (only accessible from the Government network).
You've been invited to a TSB job interview. Are you ready?
So, you've been screened in and you've made it to the assessment stage of the staffing action. All the hours you've devoted to preparing your resume, making contacts and researching potential employers are little more than preparation for the single most important stage of the job search, the interview.
You need to see the interview as an opportunity to demonstrate to the prospective employer what benefits you can bring to the organization. It's all about uncovering needs and demonstrating how you can satisfy those needs.
Get more information on how to get ready for an interview.
What happens next?
After the interview, you will be contacted to confirm what your status is within the competition. If you were successful in the assessment, you will be notified about the next steps in the process (e.g., references, language testing, security clearance, etc.).
