1.0 Description of Assignment:

Working under the supervision of the Manager, Application Portfolios, the UI/UX Developer will be responsible for implementing the approved ttc.ca website redesign and building new customer-facing digital experiences for TTC’s Digital Customer Experience team.

TTC has engaged a vendor to complete the Discovery and Definition phases of the ttc.ca website redesign, deliver evaluation findings, design recommendations, and annotated wireframes and mockups. The contractor will own the implementation: translating the approved designs into production-ready, accessible front-end code within TTC’s existing technical environment, including the Sitecore content management system. Backend system and infrastructure changes are out of scope.

In parallel, the resource will design and build a responsive web application displaying next-arrival predictions and service alerts across form factors, including large-format and kiosk displays such as suspended screens at bus bays. Each display browses to a URL carrying a stop code, and the page renders that stop’s real-time arrivals and alerts. This is a TTC-led initiative outside the vendor’s scope.

This assignment will require the incumbent to work onsite 2-3 days per week at Union Station East Wing 61 Front St West and other GTA locations as required under TTC’s hybrid work policy.
