Project Name:
Establish Video Visitation and Effective Wi-fi in Correctional Facilities Implementation Projects.

Scope:

Project 1: Video Visitation – Implementation
The Correctional Services Division (CSD) within the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the in flight Video Visitation Service (VVS) Project. The VVS is currently operational only at the Edmonton Remand Centre (ERC), and the initiative is now entering its final and most critical phase, requiring sustained and specialized leadership to complete the remaining work. An incumbent Project Manager is in place, and this posting ensures continuity and uninterrupted delivery through project completion.
The VVS Project is a multi phased modernization effort that provides secure, reliable video visitation for individuals in custody. The current ERC deployment offers a user centric, Internet based solution that enables safe and efficient connections with family, friends, and professional visitors. Completing the final phase will support broader adoption across the province and deliver a more consistent, accessible, and resilient visitation experience.
The Project Manager will work closely with CSD leadership and SMEs, Technology & Innovation, and external vendors to guide the project through this final implementation stage, ensuring alignment with Government of Alberta standards, operational priorities, and public safety expectations.

Project 2: Correctional Facilities Implementation
The Correctional Services Division (CSD) within the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the in flight CSD WiFi Services Implementation Project. Deployments have been successfully completed in 8 of the 10 Alberta Correctional Facilities, with only the Calgary Correctional Centre (CCC) and Calgary Young Offender Centre (CYOC) remaining. An incumbent Project Manager is currently supporting the work, and this posting ensures leadership continuity through the final stage of implementation.
This project directly supports strengthening public safety systems, ensuring operational readiness, and enhancing secure service delivery across correctional and public safety environments. Completing the remaining two centres is essential to establishing a consistent, secure WiFi foundation that enables modern digital operations across CSD, Technology and Innovation, Alberta Health Services, and partner ministries.
The remaining work may require limited travel and active collaboration with frontline teams, vendors, and cross ministry stakeholders. The Project Manager will engage with CSD leadership and SMEs, Technology & Innovation, external vendors, and Ministry-partners, including Alberta Infrastructure, Mental Health and Addictions, and Alberta Health Services, to complete the final deployments and ensure alignment with Government of Alberta standards, operational priorities, and public safety expectations.
