POSITION SUMMARY:

Role Description: Business Intelligence Analyst - GOA

Responsibilities:

Modernization initiatives across the Government of Alberta are fundamentally changing how ministry users collect, manage, analyze, and use data as legacy systems are transformed into modern Data Management and Geospatial Platforms. This shift requires dedicated analytical capacity to ensure that the value of modernized data assets is fully realized.

DRAS is a Government of Alberta regulatory transformation initiative led by Environment and Protected Areas (EPA) to modernize, digitize, and streamline environmental and natural resource regulatory processes. DRAS supports the full regulatory lifecycle, from application and authorization to monitoring, compliance, remediation, and closure through a single, consolidated digital platform.
