Behind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public broadcaster.

Created in 2015 to align, lighten and modernize infrastructure, the Technology & Infrastructure (T & I) team is the backbone and the future forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections; between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.

A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly regarded pioneer of media technology. Not just in Canada, but around the world. Today, we’re transforming ourselves from conventional radio and television broadcaster into a modern digital media company. Technology is the driving force and we are the team making it happen.

This role requires full-time on-site presence.

There is a requirement to provide consultation and advice at a senior level in verbal or written form involving complex technical and engineering information as well as production concepts. Duties are performed with minimal direction.

Key Tasks:

• Provides senior level advice in planning, optimizing and improving facilities and equipment. Devises innovative applications of technology to bring about optimization and improvement.

• Validates quality control procedures and the frequency of application. Evaluates the results.
• Performs all or part of the function or duties of an equivalent or lower classification.

Education Required:

Requires advanced knowledge regarding maintenance and design of equipment, systems and associated software technologies. Knowledge is generally gained through Community College graduation as well as additional specialized training that would be equivalent to University graduation, or its equivalent as determined by the Corporation. There is a requirement for successful completion of the appropriate Corporate examination.

Experience Required:

Ten years of practical and relevant experience including one year at the level of a Systems Technologist within CBC/Radio-Canada.
