We Have a Big Name – and a Big Mission
We’re the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. But you can call us CCOHS. We’re a federal government corporation that’s focused on a single mission: we believe everyone in Canada has the right to a healthy and safe workplace where they can thrive. Our tools and resources are designed to give employers and workers across the country the information they need to stay healthy and safe, both physically and mentally, on the job.
We need rock solid information technology infrastructure and platforms to get this important information into the hands of users. Without this in place, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the many courses, fact sheets, databases, podcasts, guides, and other tools that workplaces across Canada need.
And that’s where you come in. You will play a role in ensuring that the next generation of health and safety iOS and Android applications are reliably delivered, using the latest technology platforms and industry best practices. You’ll be part of our Digital Innovation and Development team to help make these plans a reality. Along the way you’ll also be supporting our existing applications because they’re important too.
If you’re excited about helping to make a difference and being part of a culture that values innovation, professional growth, and your overall well-being, we definitely want you to read on.
