Project Leader Bilingual

Can you see yourself as a leader? If you answered yes, then this may be the job for you The Project Leader Bilingual (French/English) reports to the Gentilly-1 Manager in the DP & G1 Decommissioning division and has responsibility for assigned decommissioning projects at Gentilly-1. Decommissioning of this site involves planning, managing, and completing large and complex decommissioning projects to the full satisfaction of project clients and stakeholders. The Project Leader is responsible for managing the projects to meet schedule, cost, quality, and safety objectives to the client's full satisfaction and in line with the established baseline plan.
