  • Excellent technical report writing and communication skills.
  • Fluency in French, both written and spoken.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 20+ years of relevant professional experience.
  • Experience with Flow-3D and Simsen software.
  • Bilingualism (French and English) to support projects and clients across Canada and internationally.
  • Valid driver’s licence.
