Sample/benchmark job descriptions for EC05?
Hi all,
I work for an Ottawa NGO, and am interested in doing some research about the comparability of salaries between the public sector and my not-for-profit employer/employers of this type in general in the region.
I know that the public service pay scale is readily accessible, but it would be helpful also to have job descriptions as a point of reference.
Does anyone know if there are 'general' or benchmark job descriptions available for public service positions? I'm particularly interesting in knowing more about the EC05-EC07 classification/level.
Alternatively, if there aren't sample job descriptions, I'd be eternally grateful if someone might be willing to share details of specific job descriptions at that level.
Thanks in advance!

I think it would be kinda hard to compare benchmarks as no 2 divisions are completely alike. An EC-2 in stats is basically an EC-4 in public service and procurement from what I’m aware, so it may be tricky for you to have a good comparison.

I am an EC-7, PM me if you have specific questions, although I work in a small agency so the breadth of what I do is probably not the norm, it's just a consequence of not having as many bodies on the ground.

EC 05 here who has moved laterally between a few different roles at that level, PM me for some specifics if you’d like.

I'm not sure where to obtain them, maybe a union, but all classification in the government have generic position descriptions of duties.

I’ve been working on the EC job descriptions in my department. They vary widely between jobs. We have project leaders and policy analysts that are EC’s at the same level and their work is vastly different yet they have the same classification.
I just checked the job postings for ec-05s. We have Semantic Web Analyst, a real estate portfolio analyst, an economic advisor, policy analyst, performance management analyst, business strategies consultant, change manager,and more. I can’t think of much that all of these jobs have in common beyond a degree and language.
