  JOB SUMMARY

  
  This position is with the Rail Construction Program. The mandate of the Rail Construction Program is to transform, develop, grow and sustain Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit Systems as a component of the City of Ottawa’s overall transportation and mobility strategy.
  

  You are responsible for: the day-to-day delivery of the city’s rail operational technology infrastructure (OTI) and cybersecurity, which are being expanded to support the city’s expanding Stage 2 rail operations.

The city’s OTI must also support the day-to-day operations of critical public facing Transit Services. In addition, the city’s OTI needs to securely integrate and enable data-sharing with other functional internal networks.
  

  The Rail OTI utilizes two primary network OEMs for the core and security aspects surrounding the network infrastructure; however, the position involves the integration of third party equipment and devices from a variety of OEMs.
