We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee.

Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.
