Terre Surveillée is a Quebec-based company specializing in Earth observation, geomatics, and professional training.
PRIMARY REQUIREMENT — FRENCH
This role requires impeccable written and spoken French. You will communicate daily with clients, municipalities, and government ministries in Quebec, in French. If you are not fully proficient in French, please do not apply. Begin your application in French.
THE ROLE
Start date: January 11, 2027. The position is 10 hours per week, with the possibility of increasing to 20 hours per week in April 2027. Pay ranges from USD 8 to 12 per hour, depending on your verified French proficiency and experience. There is a paid two-week trial period. The schedule is flexible, with at least one hour of overlap with working hours in Quebec (UTC−5).
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, IN ORDER OF PRIORITY
- Respond to emails from clients and partners in impeccable French — this is the core of the role.
- Handle requests for quotes and registrations submitted through our website forms.
- Screen institutional partnership inquiries from municipalities, regional county municipalities (MRCs), and government ministries.
- Manage the calendar and prepare for meetings.
- At a later stage, write LinkedIn and Facebook posts.
WHAT WE REQUIRE
Impeccable written and spoken French is mandatory. Professional proficiency in English is required for the English version of our website. Intermediate proficiency in Google Workspace — Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Sheets. Experience with WordPress or Elementor is an asset. The ability to work independently, attention to detail, and discretion.
WHAT WE OFFER
Initial training on our tools and procedures. Written procedures and response templates, so you always have clear guidance. A long-term working relationship, not a one-off contract. A meaningful project: putting Earth observation at the service of communities and regions.
CONFIDENTIALITY
You will work from an email inbox with delegated access, never using our primary login credentials. You will never have access to our administration console, bank accounts, or hosting platform. You must maintain the confidentiality of information about our clients, partners, and learners both during and after our collaboration.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send us three items:
- Your CV.
- A one-minute voice recording in French presenting your experience. Record it yourself — no synthetic or AI-generated voices. This recording is part of the selection process.
- Your availability for a video call.
Applications without the voice recording in French cannot be considered, as this is how we assess your French proficiency.
SELECTION PROCESS
We review applications within a few days. Shortlisted candidates take part in a 15-minute video call in French, followed by a short written exercise: drafting responses to three actual inquiries received through our website. We then make our decision and set the start date. The process generally takes two weeks.
Thank you for your interest.
