Welcome to CIMA+

CIMA+ is looking for a Senior Consultant – Systems and Information Technology to join our growing team in the Greater Toronto Area.

Experience in the transit industry is strongly preferred, particularly within organizations operating complex and mission-critical technology environments.

Contribute to establishing and growing CIMA+'s Operational and Digital Technology presence in Ontario

Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective clients

Connect opportunities in Ontario with expertise available across CIMA+ and help assemble multidisciplinary teams to pursue and deliver them
