Systems and Network Administrator

We Have a Big Name – and a Big Mission

We’re the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. But you can call us CCOHS. We’re a federal government corporation that’s focused on a single mission: we believe everyone in Canada has the right to a healthy and safe workplace where they can thrive. Our tools and resources are designed to give employers and workers across the country the information they need to stay healthy and safe, both physically and mentally, on the job.

We need rock solid information technology infrastructure and platforms to get this important information into the hands of users. Without this in place, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the many courses, fact sheets, databases, podcasts, guides, and other tools that workplaces across Canada need.

And that’s where you come in. You will play a role in ensuring the security and availability of all production technology products and services, in addition to the mandate that all development and infrastructure production changes are thoroughly tested and validated. You’ll be part of our IT Operations and Quality Assurance team to help make these plans a reality.
