About the position

Duties

Transport Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Program develops standards and regulations, provides oversight, and offers expert advice to promote public safety in the transportation of dangerous goods across all modes in Canada.

What you will be doing

Conducting field operations: Perform inspections, audits, and enforcement activities to ensure compliance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act.

Enforcing compliance: Initiate or recommend compliance and enforcement actions for alleged violations of the TDG Act and related regulations and standards.

Providing guidance: Deliver information sessions and offer technical advice and guidance to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, including the public, on TDG oversight programs.

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.

Work environment

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.

Intent of the process

The intent of this continuous recruitment inventory is to create and maintain a bank of candidates for future staffing needs. When a pull of candidates will be conducted, candidates who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further consideration.

The first pull is expected to take place in September 2026, subject to a sufficient number of applications being received.

When a pull is conducted, a pool of fully or partially qualified candidates may be established to fill future staffing needs. This pool of candidates may be used to staff similar positions of various tenures at Transport Canada.
