Neucel strives to hire the best employees suited to each job, based on qualifications and ability to perform the work required.

Potential applicants are encouraged to submit their resumes and references in person or via email. The privacy of the information submitted will be protected, and the information will not be shared or disclosed to persons not involved in the decision as to whether to hire a candidate.

All resumes we receive are kept on file for a period of 12 months. This allows us to build a potential database of candidates, so even if an applicant is not hired right away, you will be considered for any future opportunities. While we appreciate everybody that applies, due to the high volume of resumes we receive only those applicants who are immediately being considered will be contacted for an interview. The interview process usually involves two (2) parts:

1. A telephone pre-screen, and

2. A formal structured interview involving Human Resources and the appropriate department Supervisor or Manager.

Please note: Applicants for positions that require minimum strength and fitness levels may have to pass a pre-screening test administered by a registered BCRPA Fitness Leader and paid for by Neucel. For example, all entry-level Finishing Room workers must pass the required strength tests. Neucel, in consultation with an independent third party, has carefully pre-determined these positions to require a minimum strength level as part of strict Bona-fide occupational requirements. (BFOR).

All applicants who are selected for employment are expected to perform to Neucel’s high standards. This begins with the requirement that all employees report for work fit for duty, and perform all of their job tasks in a safe and lawful manner. Employees must also abide by the ‘Clean-Shaven’ Policy, which states that all employees report to work clean-shaven below the lip, and no side-burns below the bottom of the ear. This policy is in place to ensure proper fit of mandatory safety equipment (seal-dependant personal respirators).

As part of Neucel’s commitment to a safe work place, all employees are required on their start date to complete a detailed Safety Indoctrination, specific to our site. This includes being fitted with personal protective equipment, information about different types of potential hazards present, and what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Please note that in accordance with our local collective agreement, all hourly employees are placed on an initial 30 day probationary period. This probationary period allows employees and Neucel to demonstrate and improve safe work practices, and proficiency of their tasks. It also allows Neucel to give initial feedback and see results.
