I was hired as an E-Business Specialist immediately after obtaining my Master’s degree in Computer Science. It was my first work experience in Canada.

My job consists of supporting two websites for the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation: www.greatlakes-seaway.com and www.hwyh2o.com. It offers a great variety, including web server maintenance, system monitoring, system backup, security issues, database administration, java programming, webpage design, web content updating, and email broadcasting.

I work at the head office in Cornwall. This city provides a quality of life I couldn’t find elsewhere. What I like most is the little traffic. It just takes me 10 minutes to get to work, to go shopping, or to go fishing!

With over 20 years of experience as an electromechanic, which was an enriching experience, I was hired at the SLSMC as a Canal Service Technician and am now a Control Systems Electrician.

I work in the installation, repair, maintenance, inspection, and diagnosis of the electrical control systems, using measuring instruments and electronic devices. After the closure of the navigation season, I work with the electrical maintenance group on several projects until the opening of navigation. I have also participated in the project to renew the electrical control systems at locks 3 and 4 in Beauharnois. It was a very gratifying experience.

The company commits to the fundamental values of its employees. It provides on-site training and encourages employees to develop their skills in order to create an environment that inspires success.

I've joined the SLSMC as a manager. This career opportunity caught my attention as it was in an area I was not familiar with and for a position with vast opportunities.

It allowed me to work in each one of the three administrative regions of the organization. The experience was very rewarding both professionally and personally.  As someone who likes to be challenged and learn new things, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation gives me the diversity I need. 

Over the course of my many years with the organization, I have risen through the ranks and gained new knowledge that has served me well in obtaining one of the General Manager positions on the Operations team.
