Language of work for positions permanently located in Quebec
Knowledge of French is required for positions permanently located in Quebec so candidates can communicate with their colleagues and suppliers in Quebec as necessary. French-language training is offered to all in permanent positions in Quebec who do not have a good knowledge of French.

Other language requirement
Another language is required for this position in order to communicate with clients, partners, and colleagues, who are predominantly located outside Quebec. The company has just one client in Quebec but is responsible for the technical support that this client provides to its subscribers, almost all of whom are located outside Quebec. It must therefore constantly use another language to communicate outside Quebec with these subscribers. 

Dedicated to both your career and personal growth, we offer the chance to constantly learn, develop and create a well-rounded entrepreneurial skillset. We are shaping future business owners and leaders who will redefine the corporate world. 

MavTek strongly supports growth and equal opportunities for all our communities. 

Together, We Get It Done!
