The role will require a sound understanding of the various processes and procedures of the company, many of which are mandated under the accreditation of CSA Group by the Standards Council of Canada, which in turn reports to Industry Canada. A key element of the position is to ensure that these processes and procedures are adhered to, and that the timelines of projects are achieved within defined budgets. This requires supporting the activities of Project Managers, and the many members of standards development committees, as well as their Chairs and Vice-Chairs, which can be very demanding, as these people are all volunteers, with no formal reporting relationship to the company.
