Our organization operates in Quebec and Ontario. As outlined in the job description, it involves, among other things, communicating, both orally and in writing, with business partners and clients located in Quebec and Ontario. Following an analysis, we have determined that the tasks associated with this role require knowledge of English in addition to French (both spoken and written).

However, Groupe Harden minimizes the number of positions for which knowledge of a language other than French is required and only demands proficiency in English when it is necessary for the execution of an employee's tasks.
