Our client, TES Canada, is developing innovative green hydrogen production projects in various regions of the country, including the Mauricie Project. Totalling a $4 billion investment for the region, the Mauricie Project consists of the construction of an electrolyzer as well as renewable energy production assets. Upon its commissioning in 2028, the project will produce 70,000 tonnes of green hydrogen exclusively dedicated to Québec end-users. TES Canada intends to produce green hydrogen and by-products to accelerate the energy transition away from fossil fuels.

In response to its rapid growth, TES Canada is looking to hire a Legal Counsel to assist the Vice President, Legal Affairs.

On a day-to-day basis, your role will be highly varied. In particular, you will be involved in corporate law and project financing matters. You will also be involved in commercial law, drafting, reviewing and negotiating various types of contracts, ranging from service and supplier agreements to equipment purchases, land acquisition, easements and confidentiality agreements. You’ll also advise internal divisions on contract interpretation and risk management, ensuring that practices comply with applicable regulations, as well as assist in setting up the legal function and the necessary processes.

Are you accustomed to sophisticated business law cases and at ease in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments? Are you autonomous, practical, and enjoy being at the centre of the action? If so, we’d love to speak with you. To qualify, you must have experience in commercial and corporate law, and be a bilingual and a member of the Quebec Bar. Please note that given the company’s rapid growth and the effervescence that goes with it, this role involves frequent interaction with colleagues, and so it requires a 100% onsite presence, barring exceptions on occasion (flexible working hours are possible).

This is a mandate entrusted exclusively to ZSA. CVs sent to or contacts made with TES Canada will be forwarded to ZSA for consideration.
