ABOUT US
Making the Province work is no small job. The Department of Public Works (DPW) supports Nova Scotia’s 23,000 kilometers of roads and highways and 4,100 bridges. We are responsible for managing major capital construction projects, snow and ice control services, along with road maintenance and repair services.
We are recruiting for the Manager of Operational and Financial Management Information Systems (OFMIS). Become part of the team that helps to bridge the gap between DPW SAP system end-users and the SAP service provider. SAP is an enterprise resource system which provides enhanced decision making, improved cost control, fosters empowerment of employees, and balances the Government’s need for sound corporate financial management with the operational specific needs of individual lines of business.
PRIMARY ACCOUNTABILITIES

An equivalent combination of training, education and experience will be considered.
As the successful candidate you will have proven experience in delivering client focused services, planning and managing projects, overseeing a team of professionals, and managing financial resources. You must demonstrate a strong human resource management background including the ability to coach and develop staff; experience in leading change; and an ability to build cohesive, effective partnerships and teams in a fast-paced environment.
You are a critical thinker who provides innovative information technology solutions, quickly adapts to competing priorities, contentious issues, and meets challenging deadlines. This position requires a high degree of problem-solving skills and requires you to deal effectively with problems that are broad in range.
Knowledge of information technology issues and public policies that may affect the industry would be considered an asset.
