Bringing significant experience as a Manager you will work to deliver a comprehensive emergency management program for the City and ensure municipal compliance with the Provincial Emergency Management Act, including acting as the designated Community Emergency Management Coordinator, as well as Council directed programs.

As OEM Manager, you'll provide senior-level operational support to the Director, and manage a variety of programs and projects, leading both staff and external partners to support the implementation of emergency management initiatives and strategies for the City.

This will see you take a lead role in the preparation for, and delivery of, the

With your experience in, and knowledge of, risk assessment and business continuity principles you're well prepared to lead operational response to emergencies by attending the Emergency Operations Centre or emergency site(s), 24/7 as required and on a standby (on-call) rotation basis.

You'll also maintain an equipped and ready corporate Emergency Operations Centre for coordinated, strategic management of a major emergency in Toronto, lead the development and implementation of detailed plans, and recommend policies regarding program-specific requirements.

As can be expected of a managerial role like this, you'll manage, motivate and train Unit staff, supervising day-to-day operations, from scheduling, assigning and reviewing work, to developing and administering the annual Unit budget and controlling expenditures, ensuring effective teamwork and high standards of work quality and organizational performance, and promoting continuous learning and innovation.

These tasks will call for your superior interpersonal, problem-solving, organizing and conflict resolution skills and experience in managing day-to-day labour relations matters.
