Job title: Project Lead – Senior Systems Designer, IT Infrastructure (MTIS)

Job description: Work at CBC/Radio-Canada

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 Media Technology and Infrastructure (MTIS) 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. MTIS is the team making it happen.

Your role

CBC/Radio-Canada is looking for a Project Lead to join our Engineering team, to lead and take part in projects focused on IT and Telecommunications. The successful incumbent will be based in Montreal, working primarily on local projects, with eventual and occasional travel to Toronto. CBC/Radio-Canada operates one of the world’s leading technology infrastructures and one of the largest private networks, which distributes its content and services exclusively across the country. In this position, you will play an essential role in the design, optimization and project delivery, including updating, installing, configuring and testing equipment, software and systems. You will ensure the design and implementation of systems you supervise in accordance with CBC/Radio-Canada and industry best practices as well as current federal and provincial regulations.

What’s in it for you?

Challenges. We spend our days solving problems on an unbelievable scale. Media files are highly nuanced and incredibly complicated; updating, installing and supporting technologies that are organization-wide and that impact broadcasting content is a time-sensitive, complex technical feat. And that’s just the beginning. You will manage the end-to-end project implementation from proposal and procurement to design, implementation, testing and handover. Not to mention, you will be working with cutting edge technology in data management, cloud migration, IP for broadcast, AI and security and reliability.

As our new Project Lead you will:

• Design innovative, practical solutions to complex problems, particularly where new technologies are to be integrated into existing facilities
• Create and track the schedules and budgets for capital projects; monitoring progress to ensure compliance with scope and objectives
• Prepare functional, schematic, layout drawings and detailed installation instructions for wiring crews
• Oversee the procurement from writing and requesting quotes and proposals to evaluating tender responses and making recommendations
• Verify system performance against design criteria, ensuring identified deficiencies are corrected and providing documentation for ongoing operation and maintenance of facilities
• Participate in strategic planning, providing expert advice on cost, timeframe and feasibility of capital requirements
• Create concept designs for review with our business partners.
• Conceptualize alternative solutions which satisfy defined objectives

Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with peers, partners, clients, staff, senior managers and external technological vendors, in addition to being able to effectively translate technical requirements to non technical business needs and you can communicate with individuals in a diverse group

Ability to work efficiently on a number of projects at different stages with multiple priorities, never losing sight of the details
