INTRODUCTION TO WRITING JOB DESCRIPTIONS

A well-crafted job description can be an important tool in attracting the right candidates. In order to write an effective job description, it is imperative to concisely communicate the key responsibilities of the position, and qualifications or skills required for the job. Doing so will increase the odds of attracting candidates with the right training, experience and skills to fit the position.In addition to attracting the right candidates, a well-written job description can be used to:

Communicate clear employee expectations Determine compensation Identify training and development areas Serve as a tool for employee performance evaluation and management

The following series of templates and tools will help you create job descriptions for some of the most popular environmental positions.

To easily create a job description for your unique position, go to ECO Canada’s collection of environmental occupational profiles - where you can find general job duties and requirements, salary information, educational requirements and more. You can search for your desired occupation alphabetically and follow the formatting of the ECO job description template, copy and paste key job duties and qualifications related to your position. You can then add your own attributes specific to the needs of your position / organization.

TIPS

Adapt the information using your own words to describe the work performed by employees

Combine information from different occupational profiles to better identify the job performed by your employees, especially if positions in your organization have tasks that span more than one position

JOB DESCRIPTION GUIDE

The following guide specifies what type of information should be included in each section of a job description, along with helpful tips and resources to assist you as you write your own job description.

Please note: all fields highlighted in blue should be included in all job descriptions regardless of the use. All fields highlighted in purple only need to be added when the job description is being used for a job posting.

JOB TITLE: State the formal title of the position

Employment Type: Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Casual, Internship, etc.

Job Location: City and Province Reports to: Line Manager, CEO, etc. (List all)

Date Posted: First day accepting resume Closing Date: Last day accepting resumes

Apply by: Preferred method of receiving resumes: E-mail, fax, mail or in person

Company Information

Provide a brief description regarding your organization. This can include your company’s mission, values or what your company does.

Job Purpose

Provide a brief description to summarize the purpose of the position. This may be expressed in terms of duties to be performed, results to be achieved or key contributions to be made.

The job purpose should be no more than a couple sentences long.

Qualifications

Describe the minimum qualifications necessary to successfully perform the job. These are the mandatory qualifications required to be considered for the position.

Qualifications include: Education Experience Specialized knowledge Skills Other training or seminars Other characteristics such as personal characteristics Professional certification such as EP certification

* Please note: all qualifications must comply with provincial human rights legislation. (Appendix A)

Duties and responsibilities

Identify between 6 to 11 primary duties and responsibilities for the position List the duties and responsibilities in order of importance Begin each statement with an action verb and use the present tense. See Glossary of Job

Description Verbs for assistance (Appendix C) 3


Use gender and culturally neutral language to describe the work Use universal language such a photocopy instead of Xerox State working conditions (whether it will require working at odd hours, etc.) Describe only the duties, skills and knowledge required of the position, and avoid describing

personal traits Where appropriate use qualifiers to clarify the task – where, when, why or how often. Avoid

words that are open to interpretation or ambiguous statements – for example instead of “handle incoming mail” specify “sort and distribute incoming mail”

State any targets that are expected to be met by the employee

*For more assistance writing job duties and responsibilities, please refer to the “How to Write a Duties & Responsibilities Statement (Appendix B)

Physical requirements

List any physical requirements of the job. For example, if the employee will be required to stand for extended periods of time, lift heavy objects, sit at a computer all day, perform repetitive tasks, etc.

OTHER GENERAL TIPS

Describe the position as it is now, not how it may be in the future Do not understate or overstate work requirements Focus on job requirements, not the person performing the job Describe only the ongoing and/or continuing responsibilities of the job Try to describe the work of the job for someone not familiar with the work Consider adding a generic statement - "Performs other related duties and responsibilities

consistent with the position as required" as an additional responsibility statement - this encourages employees to ‘work outside the box’ and helps discourages the “that’s not my job” excuse

Avoid using technical terms, acronyms or abbreviations

COMMON ERRORS A description that is too long, with too many details, many of which are irrelevant A description is too short and superficial and, as a result, fails to capture the elements of the job An emphasis on minor aspects of the job. For example, “the position is primarily financial, but

human resource responsibilities have been placed first” There are incomplete or missing facts such as information on the number of subordinates, key

responsibilities, travel requirements etc.
