This employment opportunity is restricted to residents of Iqaluit only.
As the Government of Nunavut allocates approximately one hundred million per annum for capital projects across all departments, there is a high level of expectation and pressure for Justice to document, defend and promote the value in acquiring a significant proportion of this funding. This position will oversee capital budgets ranging from more than one million dollars associated with minor capital planning, and up to fifty million dollars depending on the scope of the projects. The Department of Justice will be seeking major funding to build and renovate large correctional facilities. The coordinator will work with program and technical personnel, as well as the public, and will be responsible for the development of effective capital planning, programming and management systems for the Department of Justice. All Nunavut communities have ongoing expectations for facility assessments and communications regarding the status of current and future capital projects, including regular community visits and consultations. Travel and on-going public meetings with stakeholders are a necessity. Regular communication, including negotiations and analytical assessment of current and proposed projects with the Department of Community and Government Services is also a critical aspect of this job.
The knowledge, skills, and abilities required for this job are usually obtained through completion of a recognized university degree in architecture, commerce, project management, engineering, or related field with at least two (2) years’ experience in capital planning or related field. Experience in managing capital budget projects will be considered as an asset.
