What Skills and Qualifications Do I Need? * Post‑secondary education in a related field (e.g., Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business Process Improvement) or an equivalent combination of training and experience, with proven Business Analyst experience—ideally in transportation, technology, or the public sector. * Experience supporting technology projects, system implementations, process automation, and data‑driven decision-making, along with strong knowledge of technology concepts, system development practices, and business process design. * Proficiency with analytical and quantitative tools (data modelling, workflow mapping, process analysis) and with MS Office applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, Visio, PowerPoint, and Project. * Experience participating in testing cycles, including planning, execution, and reporting. * Strong analytical, critical‑thinking, problem‑solving, communication, and stakeholder‑management skills, with the ability to turn complex business needs into clear requirements. * Highly organized, collaborative team player with the ability to manage multiple priorities in fast‑paced environments; PMP, CBAP, or similar certifications are considered assets.
