Work environment

The Resource Management (RM) division within Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) Innovation, Information and Technology Branch (IITB) provides budgeting, forecast, procurement and IT costing support to ESDC’s largest branch comprised of over 1,700 employees with a budget of over $200 million dollars. The size and complexity of the branch makes working within the RM division both challenging and rewarding.

Employees within Resource Management are highly motivated and must be able to work under pressure as tight deadlines and shifting priorities are common place. While the environment fosters hard work, it’s also a very supportive and collaborative workplace; the three pillars of Resource Management work together regularly in order to achieve a high level of service delivery on a day to day basis. The RM division is looking for employees who will embrace this type of work environment; who are willing to work hard and independently, but are also willing to ask questions and learn new skills. There are always new challenges being faced within RM and the ability to think outside the box and embrace change in a high paced environment is integral to working within this group.

Intent of the process

To staff vacant positions within the Branch Management Services area of the IT Branch within Employment and Social Development Canada. This inventory will be used to staff identical or similar positions with various language requirements and profiles; and/or various security profiles.
