Description of Work:
Department of Global Affairs Canada (GAC) primary responsibility is the promotion and protection of Canada’s interests abroad and the conduct of Canada’s relations with other countries
The Department is headquartered in Ottawa, and maintains a presence throughout Canada through the regional offices and a network of trade commissioners working in International Trade Offices across the country. Outside Canada, GAC operates an extensive network of missions (embassies, high commissions, and consulates), honorary consulates, and other representational offices. Currently, Canada operates 178 diplomatic missions in 110 countries.
The spread and complexity of Canada’s representation abroad has a profound impact on the nature and scope of the Department’s IM/IT equipment and infrastructure. The design, implementation and operation of IM/IT services are hugely affected by the extent to which Canada’s 7,759 employees abroad are scattered around the world; by the enormous differences encountered in diverse public infrastructures and technologies available internationally; and by the competing interests of host countries. More than 5,430 employees at missions are locally-engaged, bringing a variety of cultural, linguistic and security complexities to daily operations abroad.
For IM/IT there is a powerful imperative to provide an extensive and effective worldwide communications platform for all Canadian departments and provinces which maintain an international presence. This platform must be a highly reliable system, operating around the clock and around the globe to give Canada its network of always-connected individuals and offices, world-wide.
The international environment in which GAC carries out its mandate has always been extremely challenging. IM/IT is deployed in settings which are geographically dispersed, structurally inconsistent, frequently hazardous, and disrupted by unexpected events both natural and man-made.
GAC requires the services of one (1) ERP Programmer Analyst to assist in the delivery of approved projects.
