Project Name:

Digital Regulatory Assurance System

Scope:

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.
The increasing scale of DRAS data creates a strong and ongoing need for dedicated business intelligence and analytics capability to support operational monitoring, compliance oversight, performance measurement, and strategic decision‑making. These needs span the full data lifecycle, including data collection and integration, data quality management, analysis of trends, patterns, compliance and regulatory reporting, and the delivery of clear, actionable insights through dashboards and visualizations.
This position will primarily support the Digital Regulatory Assurance System (DRAS) program, where high‑quality, timely analytics are essential to regulatory and compliance functions. As data and analytics maturity increases, the role may be expanded to support additional enterprise data initiatives.
