- Evaluation techniques to assess the effectiveness of new and changed policies, and to evaluate impact on infrastructure policy and planning
- Project management skills to provide proactive project planning, consultation/coordination with ministry and/or central agency partners
- Experience in the implementation/delivery and/or oversight of capital projects

- A defined contribution pension plan, where IO contributes the equivalent of 5% of a full-time employee’s annual salary, with an option for IO to match an additional 5% contribution made by the employee. IO also offers a Group Retirement Savings Plan and Group Tax Free Savings Account, designed to help IO colleagues plan and save for their future.
