Emergency and Continuity Management Specialist

Join a Team that’s Raising the Bar in Emergency and Continuity Management

At CCEM Strategies, we are setting new standards in emergency management and business continuity. We don't settle for old-school, cookie-cutter solutions. Rather, our clients come to us for effective strategies that are tailored not only to their specific requirements, but also to the unique needs of the communities they serve.

We are on a mission to enhance community resilience by working with clients in the private and public sectors, including entities involved with transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, healthcare, and tourism, as well as all levels of government, and Indigenous governing bodies and groups. We listen compassionately and strategize creatively to deliver solutions that help our clients and their communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies confidently.

As an Emergency and Continuity Management Specialist, you will lead the development, implementation, and maintenance of comprehensive and customized emergency management and business continuity programs. While providing CCEM’s public and private sector clients with expert guidance on emergency preparedness and business continuity regulations, industry standards and best practices, you will also:

• Do intellectually satisfying work while creating positive change across industries and communities
• Be a trusted advisor and partner to our clients; personify their best interests when determining how CCEM can add the most value to improve their resilience, and guide them through each step of the process
• Take projects from start to finish, by:
  • Assessing our clients’ existing emergency management and business continuity programs
  • Conducting gap analyses against industry standards and regulations
  • Developing and conducting training, and facilitating operational and functional exercises
  • Driving continuous improvement for clients through progress tracking and learnings
  • Proactively identifying and resolving potential hiccups to ensure project success
  • Working collaboratively and mentoring other team members, sharing your knowledge, and leading by example
• Travel as needed to client sites and to participate in engagement workshops, training and exercises (up to 10% depending on business needs)
• Uphold CCEM’s established level of excellence in every deliverable

The work we do is as important and demanding as it is impactful and rewarding. Our workplace culture stems from a shared understanding of the significance and purpose of our work, and the need to balance that with an environment where we are encouraged to unwind and respect downtime.

We offer a flexible work model (3-4 days in-office) with the opportunity to set your own schedule around our core hours for optimal work-life balance. We dedicate time to connect both virtually and through regular in-person team outings and activities. We extend our care for the community through CCEM’s give-back initiatives to support causes that are meaningful to our team members.

We reward excellence with competitive base salaries and performance-based bonuses and incentives so that your earning potential is always aligned with the value you bring. In addition, our perks and benefits include:

• RRSP matching
