Weir Canada Inc., Weir Marine Engineering
Ottawa, ON
Hybrid

Purpose of Role:Weir Marine Engineering has a requirement for a Business Process Specialist to assist our clients in the Department of National Defence (DND) in advancing their Business Process Optimization efforts. The focus of the work is on an area in which systems to collect, analyze and report on activities operate in isolation, lacking integration and interoperability, and hence creating issues with data quality and data confidence. The aim is to analyze and optimize the processes that generate or use the data, and integrate data sources. This will allow the organization to realize the full potential of its data, including for timely, informed decision making. This challenging position involves working closely with our DND clients, with an expectation of ~50% on-site work at Carling Campus and the rest of the work performed remotely (telework). The initial requirement is for a contract to 31 March 2026, but it is expected that the contract will subsequently be renewed annually for one or more years. Although this opportunity is aimed at a consultant/contractor, an employment arrangement could also be considered.
