Leading emergency management training, drills and exercises, including Incident Command System (ICS) training, to strengthen organizational readiness;
Ensuring OSC policies, procedures and response protocols remain effective, current and aligned with regulatory and organizational requirements;
Providing leadership, coaching and direction to OSC leaders and employees, supporting a healthy team environment, professional development and career growth;
Overseeing workforce planning, recruitment, performance management and employee development within the OSC;
Managing the OSC budget and ensuring resources are aligned with operational priorities;
