Do you want your work in health and safety to truly make a difference? Here's a role grounded in reality, at the heart of the St. Lawrence River and the Quebec territory.

This position, based in Rimouski, involves 40 to 60% travel on the main vessel and to the serviced ports. It’s a key opportunity to contribute to a meaningful and structuring project.
