Careers

EMKAL is hiring! We have an exceptional team of technical experts, and we’re looking to add a Senior Project Implementation Specialist in a full-time permanent role to deliver our most complex projects. We are looking for a strong generalist who is an incredible problem-solver and comfortable with a range of tech. Knowledge of Famous Software is an asset but not a requirement.

The salary range is $100,000 – $120,000/year and includes the benefits listed below. There is no application deadline; candidates will be contacted as applications are reviewed until the position is filled.

When screening candidates we will be looking for evidence that you have independently completed projects that demonstrate a high level of proficiency in at least two of the following:

• Database administration (e.g., MS SQL Server, Oracle)
• Programming (e.g., C#) and advanced scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, PHP)
• Networking (e.g., VPNs, Unifi, Wireguard, Wireshark, DNS, DHCP)

Key responsibilities include:

• Scoping

• • • Gather information from the client about their needs for each project
    • Document a step-by-step project plan
    • Create and document a back-out/roll-back plan for any major component of the project
    • Communicate total time and expected completion date to the client and the team

• Documentation and Communication

• • • Document the progress of each project step as the work is completed and provide updates to the client on a regular basis
    • Communicate unforeseen issues to your manager
    • Write KBs based on new knowledge gained from each project
    • Write KBs to guide support team on how to manage, maintain and support completed projects
    • Communicate with the support team before, during, and after the project so that related tickets can be triaged appropriately

• Project Implementation

• • • Research and follow the most up-to-date best practices for the technology to be implemented
    • Complete deliverables as per the established timelines
    • Implement the project in a way that minimally impacts the end user
    • Be available for post-implementation issues or coordinate with the team to provide support

Benefits include:

• Extended health and dental after 3-month probation period
• RRSP matching after probation period
• Highway 407 reimbursement for work-related travel
• Social events
• Flexible working hours

The successful applicant must be based in the West GTA. While this is mainly a remote position, the expectation is that the successful applicant will join in-person team days/social events twice per month and will have access to a vehicle.

Before you apply, please visit https://www.emkal.ca so you know who we are and what we do. 

Then, submit your CV using the form below. Your CV will be reviewed by a real-life human, so please do not optimize it for a bot or AI tools. Again, we’ll be looking for evidence that you have independently completed projects where you applied two of Database Administration, Programming, and Networking, so please make that abundantly clear in your cover letter.

If we feel that you meet the criteria for this job, we will conduct an initial telephone interview to ask you questions about specific projects you have implemented in the past. The second interview will be a technical screen to see your skills in action.

Thanks, and we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
