Technical Officer, Asset Management

Department InformationThe Department of Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA), supports capable, accountable and self-directed community governments providing a safe, sustainable and healthy environment for community residents.

Job InformationThis is a full-time, on-site opportunity where you will be an important part of the team helping communities across the Northwest Territories (NT) roll out their own Asset Management programs to manage their existing infrastructure while also looking to the future and supporting their capital planning processes. This role is located in Yellowknife and provides opportunities to travel throughout the Northwest Territories. You'll need to be comfortable travelling to remote areas of the territory by road and small aircraft on a regular basis for periods of up to five (5) days at a time.

In this role, you will be supporting community governments with the gradual implementation of community Asset Management programs through development and delivery of courses and other educational opportunities on Asset Management concepts, Azzier maintenance management software training and support, recommendations on the development of preventative maintenance and inspection programs, and the development of templates and other supporting materials. You will also assist in planning and delivering presentations and workshops on Asset Management and maintenance at conferences in the NWT.
