CORPORATE CONTROLLER
St-Janvier / Environmental & Technology Sector

Our client is an innovative group of companies based in Blainville, operating in the environmental and technology sectors. For over 20 years, the organization has developed and operated integrated solutions aimed at optimizing the management of complex materials while reducing their environmental impact.
