Job Description:

Overview

As an Infrastructure Analyst in the Sanitary and Stormwater Utilities (SSU) Division, you will be a specialist in infrastructure assessments, hydrology, and climate science, applying advanced scientific principles to infrastructure planning and data-driven decision-making.

This position is responsible for developing the first City-wide sanitary sewer inflow and infiltration mitigation strategy and hydrogen sulfide monitoring program, while fostering strong collaboration across internal teams. Your scientific perspective will also inform how data from weather station networks, flow monitoring programs, risk mitigation studies, and master plans will be applied to a variety of infrastructure modeling, planning, and design initiatives.

If you are driven to support climate adaptation and deliver solutions that improve infrastructure resilience, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

(Temporary Full Time for Approximately 18 Months)

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a strategy to address inflow and infiltration to the sanitary collection network using cost-benefit analysis to lower sanitary treatment costs.
• Develop and implement an annual hydrogen sulfide monitoring program based on condition analysis of at-risk-of-failure concrete sanitary pipes and a mitigation program.
• Lead engineering infrastructure study and analysis projects regarding the condition, performance, and planning of City infrastructure, including project team leadership; preparation of terms of reference, project scope, and deliverables; consultant selection; project milestones; overall project direction; direction of day-to-day consultant activities; and payments.
• Provide contract administration for data-collection projects, manage vendors, consultants, and budgets.
• Provide continuous input into project selection, prioritization, and scoping of infrastructure rehabilitation projects, including guidance for when single, double, and triple-utility-funded projects are most appropriate to meet asset management objectives.
• Analyze, compile, and manage program data to create outputs (reports, tables, charts, graphs, maps) as required. Analysis includes interpreting field data, GIS layers, theoretical modeling software results, and various climatic and urban growth scenarios.
• Perform advanced hydrologic analyses, including rainfall-runoff relationships and climate change scenario assessments to support predictive modeling, hydraulic model calibration, drainage area characterization, internal engineering design projects, flood risk management, and inflow and infiltration strategies.
• Prepare relevant processes, procedures, and documentation to coordinate information movement between different departments. Liaison with operational groups, other city departments, consultants, contractors, regulatory authorities, and municipalities related to current initiatives.
• Make recommendations to keep the city updated with industry best practices for sanitary and stormwater data collection programs and risk mitigation projects.
• Provide input to the annual budget process for data collection and risk mitigation projects.
• Gather information and provide feedback on project-reporting metrics to ensure an up-to-date and informed status of projects from initial stages through delivery and final archiving.
• Incorporate scientific knowledge in hydrology and climate change into the City’s hydraulic modeling manual and regularly provide input on relevant processes, procedures, and documentation.
• Research and interpret legislation, technical journals, manuals, contracts, work orders, design drawings, by-laws, reports, and supplier information.
• Prepare technical memoranda and reports for internal projects.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Education

• Minimum 4-year post-secondary degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies in Geomatics, or related discipline.

Experience

• Minimum 2 years of related experience in municipal engineering, water resources, environment, including hydrology, climate change, stormwater management, water balance, flood risk analysis, storm and sanitary sewer capacity and condition analysis.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Possess knowledge of asset management principles in municipal utilities and a thorough understanding of sustainability principles in water and wastewater management.
• Must have strong mathematical skills to perform calculations and analyze large environmental and infrastructure data sets using statistical methods and data management software (i.e. GIS (Geographic Information Systems), Power BI, Microsoft Excel).
• Knowledge of relevant industry practices and ability to read and interpret legislation, technical journals, manuals, contracts, work orders, design drawings, by-laws, reports, and supplier information.
• Ability to demonstrate engagement in projects, lead by example, and simultaneously coordinate multiple projects.
• Reliable with a good attitude and employment record.

Skill Equivalencies

• 3-Year Degree/Diploma with minimum 4 years’ related and relevant experience.
  OR
• Undergraduate degree and a Master’s degree with minimum 1 year of related and relevant experience.
