Description

To respond to the priorities of the Government of Ontario through the passage of the Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act 2025, the resource may be partially assigned to Bill 5 related projects or initiatives on an as needed basis.

A senior GIS infrastructure and application solutions tester is needed to evaluate upgraded GIS infrastructure and newly upgraded GIS applications.

The Land and Resources I&IT Cluster (LRC), in partnership with the Ministries of Natural Resources, Energy and Mines; Environment, Conservation, and Parks; Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness; and Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation is undertaking a multi-year effort to upgrade up to 18 business-critical geospatial applications hosted on the GIS Delivery Platform (GDP).

This initiative is driven by the need to upgrade Geocortex-based applications, which rely on deprecated middleware and infrastructure, to the current Geocortex vendor release version, the fully supported, next-generation VertiGIS platform. The project will deliver like-for-like upgrades of up to 18 existing Geocortex applications, preserving current functionality while upgrading the underlying technology and application codebase. This work will ensure continued alignment with GO-ITS standards and service delivery requirements, maintain vendor support, and mitigate risks associated with unsupported systems, including security vulnerabilities, system instability, performance degradation, and potential reputational impacts.

The upgraded VertiGIS applications will provide improved integration with modern GIS capabilities, including enterprise data, geoprocessing services, and portal technologies. This enhanced compatibility will enable future modernization opportunities and improved data management efficiencies. In addition, the upgrades will address existing functionality and performance issues, support Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliance, and deliver an overall improved user experience.

All Geospatial Ontario IT Program projects are composed of both IT Source Fee-For-Service and Full Time Employee resources. Projects will maintain independent, as well as, Program, and Corporate level governance.

AI Disclaimer: Source Code may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in certain aspects of its recruiting and business operations.

Note: The higher end of the range is intended for absolutely exceptional candidates who meet all must-have requirements and most or all nice-to-have qualifications. The client will evaluate candidates based on both rate expectations and overall skill set when shortlisting.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
