OCWA is an agency of the Provincial Government of Ontario, reporting to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and our employees are part of the Ontario Public Service (OPS). As the largest provider of water and wastewater services in Canada and trusted partner to municipalities, First Nations, communities, businesses, governments, and institutions, we manage over 800 facilities from small well systems and lagoons to large water and wastewater treatment plants. Our clients across the province vary in size and need, from municipalities serving thousands of people to small water systems serving less than a hundred homes, as well as private systems.
As the President/CEO, you will have the vision to develop and implement operational plans and ensure the coordination of services, which align to and support the Agency’s vision of being “Your Trusted Water Partner for Life”. You will recommend policies, plans, and programs that benefit our clients by being innovative, accountable, and fiscally sound. You will work to enhance growth and development of our organization while ensuring the effective utilization of resources through the priorities and focus areas in our business plan.
An effective leader in the OCWA and the OPS is responsible, innovative and collaborative. A responsible leader is someone who demonstrates authenticity, accountability and courage in how they interact with others. An individual who models ethical behavior, and who is honest and capable of making difficult choices.
An innovative leader is someone who leads with common purpose, embraces positive disruption, and has a future mindset. An individual who inspires others, values continuous learning and encourages development and integration. A collaborative leader focuses on helping others to grow, drives people-centered outcomes and promotes an environment of inclusivity. A leader who consistently works to confront bias and systemic barriers while understanding the importance of creating a more diverse and accessible workplace.
OPS Commitment To Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, And Anti-Racism
The OPS is an innovative, responsive, and accountable public service that works hard to be diverse, anti-racist, inclusive, accessible, merit-based, respectful and equitable. Diversifying leadership teams is a top OPS priority with the goal to achieve parity with the Ontario labour force by 2025 for the most underrepresented groups (Indigenous, racialized and persons with disabilities) in leadership positions.
To advance this goal, the OPS is collecting socio-demographic information that will help to address potential barriers and achieve equity in hiring. You are requested to complete the voluntary survey and contribute to building a more diverse, anti-racist, inclusive and accessible OPS. The OPS invites all interested individuals to apply. As an organization that promotes equity and diversity, the OPS encourages applications from Indigenous, Black, racialized, and persons with disabilities.
The OPS offers employment accommodation across the recruitment process and all aspects of employment consistent with the requirements of Ontario’s Human Rights Code . A dedicated team of employment accommodation specialists are available to discuss individual accommodation needs and ensure the hiring process is inclusive and free from barriers. Contact them at [email protected] if you require an accommodation to participate in the recruitment process. All information discussed related to accommodation will be kept confidential.
Reporting to the Deputy Minister of Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks and the OCWA Board of Directors you will provide executive leadership and strategic direction to the OCWA, and position and champion Ontario as a leader in the development and provision of sustainable clean water technologies, services, and innovative water solutions.
