The Safety Codes Council (“the Council”) is seeking an Administrator of Accreditation to lead Council’s standards of accreditation. The Council accredits municipalities, agencies, corporations, and regional service commissions to administer inspections and other safety services under the Safety Codes Act. In turn, accredited organizations provide on-the-ground monitoring of compliance with safety codes, and employ safety codes officers to evaluate plans, issue permits, perform inspections, issue variances, and enforce compliance through orders.
The Administrator is a statutory decisionmaker responsible for making key accreditation decisions in collaboration with a skilled team of professionals, and for establishing processes to review, assess, and make decisions, while managing a team that supports the Council’s accreditation program. In essence, the Administrator is responsible for setting standards of accreditation that organizations must meet to become and remain accredited – and in developing the mutual trust and understanding to make sure organizations are supported in keeping all Albertans safe.
