By selecting the link to our Career Openings, you can view all employment opportunities available, create an online profile for yourself, submit a resume, and apply for open positions.  The site is interactive, user-friendly, and provides the most current information about our available positions.

• Simply click View Available Positions to see a list of current opportunities.  If you see a position that interests you, you can choose to apply to it by clicking Apply and completing the application online.

• Once you have completed your application with us, you can review your materials under the My Profile tab. The information shown is the information we will receive.

• You can also view all positions to which you have applied by clicking on My Job Applications.

What is My Profile?
Once you have applied to a position, you will have created your own candidate account, known as My Profile. This account will allow you to manage the positions to which you have applied and update your personal information and application materials.  And should you want to apply for more than one position you can easily do so using your original profile. You can also make updates to your profile and application materials through your profile account. Each profile account contains one set of application materials.  The information and the application materials shown is the information we will receive. 

How long will it take me to create a profile and apply online?
The application process takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. If you already have a resume, you can upload it to our system. If you don’t have a resume you can easily create one within our system by providing your current contact information, education, and employment history.

When will I hear from Parametrix?
Once you have completed an online application, you will receive an email acknowledging the receipt of your application.  At that same time, your resume is automatically routed through our system to our recruiting team. Our recruiters will review your information to determine if your knowledge, skills, and abilities are a good match for the job. The recruitment team will connect directly with those candidates whose knowledge, skills, and abilities are a good match for the job.  Unfortunately, we cannot personally contact each person interested in Parametrix. 

Should I mail a resume or visit an office to complete an application?
Because all members of the recruitment team have immediate access to your resume and application through our online system, we do not recommend mailing resumes to Parametrix or completing applications before you are contacted directly by a member of the recruitment team.   

How will I know what’s happening with the position I’m interested in?
You can easily find out what’s happening with a specific position, by opening the position you’re interested in and viewing the Recruitment Status.  Updates are made as the status changes, so the information is the most current update available.  The updates will include:

• Accepting Applications: The recruitment team is accepting applications and reviewing them as they are received.

• Reviewing Applications: The recruitment team is considering the candidates who have already applied and will review new applications as needed.

• Phone Interviews:  Top candidates are being invited to participate in phone interviews.  In some cases multiple phone interviews may be requested.  All candidates who participate in phone interviews will be notified about the status of their candidacy following the interview.

• In-person Interviews:  Top candidates who have previously participated in phone interviews are being invited to participate in in-person interviews.  In some cases, candidates may be invited to another interview to meet additional members of the Parametrix team.  All candidates who participate in in-person interviews will be notified about the status of their candidacy following the interview.

• Reference and Background Checks: References and a background check authorization form will be requested of top candidates who have previously participated in phone and in-person interviews. Candidates will be notified prior to us contacting references and conducting a background check and will be kept current on the status of their candidacy.

• Extending Offer: An offer of employment is being extended to the final candidate.  Should the offer be accepted, the position will close and it will be removed from the website.  Should the offer be declined, the recruitment team will update the recruitment status appropriately.

What is a phone interview?
As a first step in the recruitment process, a recruiter may invite you to participate in a phone interview.  Those candidates who are contacted for a phone interview can anticipate one of the most relaxed interviews of the job hunt!  A time will be scheduled for the recruiter to call the candidate when convenient for both parties.  Plan to spend 30-45 minutes chatting casually with the recruiter about your experience, interest in Parametrix, and what you’d bring to the team. 

What should I expect if I’m invited to participate in an interview?
Following the phone interview, you may be invited to come in and meet some of the nicest engineers, scientists, and planners in the industry!  Our in-person interviews generally last an hour and will provide an opportunity for you to meet the recruiter, hiring manager, and other employee-owners you may be working with one day. During the interview the team will want to hear all about your experience, interest in Parametrix, and what you’d bring to the team.  You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the position, firm, people you’d be working with, projects you might be working on, and anything else about which you are curious.
