CSA Group has an immediate opportunity for a Project Manager, Transit and Agrifood who will be responsible for facilitating the development of standards related to the transit and passenger rail sector, as well as the agri-food sector. This includes standards for a diverse collection of subjects including bus and railway electrification, process operations and safety performance, agricultural data and automation, climate change mitigation and resilience within transit and agrifood, and sustainable agriculture.
The Project Manager will oversee all aspects of standards development, primarily involving the management of multiple standards development committees (e.g. facilitation, communication, member recruitment, preparation of meeting agendas, minutes, draft standards), within identified project timelines and budgets, and in accordance with CSA Directives. This position requires supporting and managing the many volunteer members of standards development committees, as well as their Chairs and Vice-Chairs. In this challenging and rewarding role, you will interact with a variety of members including industry experts, manufacturers, academia, researchers, scientists, and government to develop leading edge standards solutions, facilitate technical discussions and promote consensus amongst these leaders. The role requires a capacity to engage and manage a diverse stakeholder community, and ability to manage conflict. In addition to working with committees and stakeholders, the ideal candidate will apply their sector knowledge, and identify potential areas for new standards or training programs.
The Standards Development team manages a diverse portfolio of world-class national and international standards and guides. Delivering value-added solutions that facilitate sustainability, safety, design, quality and performance are at our core. Astute in learning and understanding these sectors, you will come to appreciate the challenges of standards development as they touch on regulations and may have product or system certification implications.
