The Alberta Public Service works to build a stronger province for current and future generations.

We make a difference in the lives of Albertans through rewarding and diverse career opportunities.

The Financial Services and Capital Planning division works with school boards, francophone regional authorities, charter school authorities, cross-ministry partners, and external stakeholders to support the planning, preservation, and upgrading of Alberta’s school capital infrastructure.

Within the division, the Stakeholder Relations Branch is the main point of contact for day-to-day communications with external stakeholders, including school jurisdictions, municipalities, and other ministries.

Reporting to the Manager, Stakeholder Relations, the Capital Project Analyst is a key advisory and project support position within the Stakeholder Relations Branch. This role supports the planning and implementation of school capital projects by representing Education and Childcare on assigned school design teams, reviewing project design documents against Education and Childcare standards, maintaining project information, preparing summaries and briefing materials,

conducting research, and providing analysis and recommendations to support effective decision-making.

The main responsibilities of this role include:

• School capital project design review: Represent Education and Childcare on assigned school capital project design teams, attend design meetings, review schematic design and design development reports, and assess floor plans, area breakdown charts, and instructional area forms for consistency with approved project scope, Education and Childcare standards, and the School Capital Manual.
• Technical advice and recommendations: Provide feedback to school jurisdictions and consultants on design submissions, support optimum school capacity and effective use of lessons learned, and make recommendations to the Stakeholder Relations Manager regarding approval of schematic design and design development reports.
• Capital planning support: Support school jurisdictions in developing high-quality, comprehensive capital plans by touring school facilities and sites, meeting with jurisdiction representatives, and providing advice and expertise on three-year capital plans and ten-year facilities plans.
• Stakeholder inquiry and issue response: Respond to inquiries from school jurisdictions and other stakeholders, conduct research, draft action request responses, issues papers, briefings, proposals, reports, and presentations, and provide timely information to support senior representatives and officials.
• Internal coordination and project tracking: Work with internal partners, including Infrastructure, to address requests, concerns, and emergent issues; maintain project files and decision records; attend post-occupancy evaluations; assist with mapping, land title searches, and analytic charts; and participate in procurement-related sessions as required.

Competencies are behaviors that are essential to reach our goals in serving Albertans.

• Drive for Results: You plan and organize work to meet timelines, follow through on commitments, and partner with others to achieve outcomes related to school capital planning, project design reviews, stakeholder responses, briefing materials, and project tracking.
• Develop Networks: You build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including school jurisdictions, municipalities, Alberta Infrastructure, consultants, and cross-ministry partners, to support collaboration, resolve issues, and advance school capital project outcomes.
• Agility: You adapt to changing priorities, urgent stakeholder inquiries, evolving project circumstances, and new direction while remaining composed, practical, and solution-focused in a complex capital planning environment.
