Did you know that Public Services and Procurement Canada was selected as one of Canadas Best Diversity Employers in 2018 for a second year in a row ? We invite you to join an organization that is committed to ensuring an inclusive workplace and respect for all!

Work environment
GCworkplace is transforming the experience of working for the Government of Canada (GC). Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is leading this transformation initiative to create modern workplaces that will support the Blueprint 2020 vision of a world-class public service equipped to serve Canada and Canadians now and into the future. In addition to supporting client departments in undertaking their workplace modernization projects, PSPC is piloting GCcoworking. GCcoworking is a project that aims to offer shared general purpose office space for GC employees in the National Capital Area (NCA).

So, what is GCcoworking?

GCcoworking is establishing Government of Canada coworking sites in each node of the NCA and one per national region.
We are creating common GC workplaces where GC employees may work as an alternative to their homes or to their usual central workplace locations, or as a touchdown point between meetings.
GCcoworking locations are accessible GC workplaces which meet the security, workplace safety, ergonomic and telecommunication requirements of employees and programs for enhanced employee flexibility and mobility.
GCcoworking locations are spaces where employees will form connections which may lead to new partnerships and new ideas.

What is the position?

We are looking for individuals who can inspire and motivate GCcoworking users, drive collaboration and build a sense of community. An on-site host, the coPro (Coworking Professional), will play a key role in the success of GCcoworking. The coPro will assist site users with administrative requests, will provide regular reports to management, will host events and will monitor the site to ensure it is being used to its fullest potential, among other duties.

The coPro:

Is an ambassador of the GCworkplace vision
Provides on-site communications
Reports on utilization
Reports on users experience
Is technical support
Is a health and safety officer and a first-aider
