Employment Application Process

Two engineering students working with a lecturer 

  1. Completing your application
    You can download job descriptions from the UCOL vacancies website. Our job descriptions outline the qualifications and experience we are looking for, as well as the expected responsibilities and outcomes of the position.
  2. Complete the online application form
    You can complete an online application form via the UCOL vacancies website. This is a compulsory step for you to be considered alongside other candidates.
  3. Upload attachments
    Please upload your CV, cover letter, and other supporting information requested. Your CV needs to be uploaded with your application for the process to be completed.
    Tip: Convert your documents into PDFs before uploading so that formatting is not affected when the documents are opened.
  4. Submit your application
    Once we have received and registered your application, you will receive an acknowledgement by email.
  5. The selection process
    The shortlisting panel will consider all applications as soon as possible after the closing date. This process usually takes seven to ten days. Applicants who are selected for an interview will be contacted by phone. If your application is unsuccessful, you will be notified by email. If you live some distance from the campus where the role will be located, we may choose to interview online.
  6. The interview
    Interview panels at UCOL can vary. If you are required to give a presentation, the topic will be provided in advance. It may be a requirement for the role that you undertake a medical examination, hearing, eye testing, psychometric testing, attitude/aptitude testing, or computer testing. You will be advised of this at the time the interview is arranged.
  7. After the initial interview
    You may be asked to attend a second interview to meet wider team members. This will be a more informal interview. This is usually within two weeks of the final interview.
  8. Reference checking
    We may choose to undertake several pre-employment checks following the interview process, which include Proof of Identity and Eligibility to work in New Zealand, Reference Checking, a Criminal Clearance Check, Academic Qualifications, or a Health/Medical Assessment. Without your consent, we will not complete any reference, criminal clearance, or health/medical assessment. Please ensure any referees you supply know they may be contacted in this capacity.
