Port of Québec

As a gateway to the continent, the Port of Québec now has commercial relations with more than 60 countries. Its strategic location as the last deep-water port in the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes corridor is its best business card. The advantage of being the last deep-water port with 15 metres at low tide before the Great Lakes allows it to effectively connect international trade with the industrial and agricultural heart of North America. Equipped with complete intermodality and efficient terminals, it has handled an average of 27 million tonnes of freight annually over the past five years. As a hub of international trade, the Port of Québec has become an essential link for the world's largest industrial complexes. Today, its influence extends to the markets of Asia and the Middle East and covers the mining, agricultural, energy and steel sectors. With nearly 100 employees, the Port is concerned not only with sustainable development, but also with the well-being of its team. It offers a stimulating and challenging work environment that allows for a work-life balance. The Port offers professional development opportunities, flexible hours, a healthy program and a friendly work environment enhanced by all kinds of social activities.
