1.  Where can I learn about open job opportunities with OHL?

All of our open positions in the United States and Canada are posted on our careers website. You will be able to create an online candidate profile and apply to any of our available opportunities.   If you are looking for a position in a different country, you may submit your resume through our website to a specific OHL office by visiting the Locations page.

2.  What should I do if I cannot find a position that matches my skills?

If you do not see a position that matches your skills at this time, you will still be able to set up your online candidate profile. By establishing your online profile, you can create up to 10 job agents. A job agent will email you when a job opportunity opens that matches the parameters identified in your job agent.  The job agents can be set up by position, skill set, and location. 

3.  How can I submit my resume/CV to OHL?

For applicants in the U.S. and Canada, we encourage you to create your online candidate profile through the careers website.  You will be able to submit your resume/CV through your profile.  Please do not send your resume/CV directly to our recruiting website. 

If you would like to apply to a country other than the US or Canada, please visit the Locations page and select your preferred OHL office.  You may complete a form to submit your resume through the website to locations outside the U.S. and Canada. 

4.  I can’t find my location (e.g. Country, State, City) listed in the search criteria. 

If you are not able to find your location, either OHL does not currently have any available opportunities or OHL does not have an office in that specific location. 

By establishing your online profile, you can create up to 10 job agents. A job agent will email you when a job opportunity opens that matches the parameters identified in your job agent.  The job agents can be set up by position, skill set, and location. 

5.  How can I be sure that my candidate profile has been received?

After you create your online candidate profile, you will be able to apply to our open positions.  Once you apply for a position, you will be sent an email notification within 24 hours that your online candidate profile has been received by the OHL Recruiting Team.  This email will be sent to the email address you entered in your online profile.

Please review the interview tips below before interviewing with OHL.

• Step 1: Research OHL – Be sure you have done your research on our company.  Know who we are and what we do.  This will help you gear your answers toward our business and show us that you’re truly interested in a career at our company.
• Step 2: Non-Verbal Communication – This is an interview and you want to leave a good impression.  When you are in doubt on what to wear, the best scenario is to overdress.  Make good eye contact and be sure you have a firm handshake.  Sit-up straight and show confidence.
• Step 3: Be Yourself – Show the interviewer who you are. Give good examples to the questions and sell yourself.  Be confident in your answers and stay professional.  Allow your personality to come through during the interview.
• Step 4: Ask Questions – This is a great way to show us that you’re interested.  This will also show us that you are prepared and ready.  Don’t be afraid to ask us to repeat a question or get more clarification. 
• Step 5: Follow Up – It’s always courteous to thank the interviewer for their time.  Before you leave, be sure to get a business card or the contact information.  Send a letter or email to each person you met with as soon as possible.  This will let us know that you are interested in the company and you want us to keep you in mind.
