Welcome to CIMA+

CIMA+ is looking for a Senior Consultant – Systems and Information Technology to join our growing team in the Greater Toronto Area. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting and expanding our Systems and Technology practice in Ontario, with an initial strong focus on the transit sector.

We are looking for a versatile senior technology professional who combines strong technical capabilities, broad systems knowledge, consulting skills, client presence, and a high degree of autonomy. The ideal candidate has developed meaningful expertise in one or more technology domains while gaining sufficient breadth to understand how complex systems, technologies, data, and infrastructure come together within operational environments.

This is not a narrowly specialized technical position. Candidates may have developed deeper expertise in areas such as software and systems integration, cloud and infrastructure, data and analytics, Operational Technology (OT), or enterprise applications, while having sufficient knowledge across adjacent domains to understand dependencies, identify issues, and work effectively with specialists.

Experience in the transit industry is strongly preferred, particularly within organizations operating complex and mission-critical technology environments.
