This role is perfect for HR professionals who excel in multitasking and building strong relationships in bilingual environments.

To succeed, candidates must meet these essential criteria:

• High School Diploma or GED (required).
• At least two years of relevant experience, preferably in manufacturing or a similar high-volume setting; equivalent education/experience combinations considered.
• Mandatory full professional bilingual proficiency in English and French – verbal and written fluency essential for Canadian operations.
