Submit your application online via the CGGS
website, which is supported by the SWAG portal. You will be required to set up
a SWAG account before you can submit your application. Once registered,
you can procced to upload all application requirements including your cover

are several mandatory questions that must be completed during this process too.
Your cover letter should provide a concise overview of your expertise and
experience, offering enough information for the panel to assess your
suitability for the role. While this appears to be optional in the portal, it
is required for all CGGS positions.
You are encouraged to browse the CGGS website

help determine whether CGGS is the right place for you.
