- Supporting program development: Participate in the design, development, and implementation of the TDG regulatory compliance program.
- Collaborating: Join internal and external working groups, project teams, consultation committees, and other initiatives related to dangerous goods safety.
- Facilitating knowledge transfer: Support formal and informal workplace learning through various methods, including job shadowing, coaching, and mentoring.
As well, extensive travel, both locally and regionally, and occasionally nationally, is required for inspection and training activities. Duties will be performed in an office environment, as well as in various indoor and outdoor settings, such as warehouses, cross-dock facilities, airports, manufacturing facilities, hospitals/labs, railyards, waste facilities, marine facilities, etc. as needed.
The duties involve exposure to potential hazards associated with various modes of transportation, extreme environmental conditions (such as dust and noise), adverse weather, rough or uneven terrain, proximity to hazardous substances, and the requirement to wear personal protective equipment and specialized clothing. Due to the nature of the job, satisfactory completion of a pre-employment medical clearance is a condition of employment.
