CAD Industries ferroviaires est une entreprise québécoise ambitieuse, forte de plus de 60 ans d’expertise dans la réparation, la conversion et le reconditionnement d’équipements ferroviaires, wagons et locomotives de tous types. Présente à Montréal (secteur Lachine) et en Alberta sous la bannière Caltrax, CAD se distingue par son savoir-faire, la qualité de ses services et son engagement envers l’excellence opérationnelle.

Au fil des ans, notre mission s’est précisée afin de devenir une entreprise responsable qui cherche notamment à réparer et prolonger la vie des équipements dont nos clients nous confient les travaux ou encore, dans plusieurs situations, de les moderniser et leur donner littéralement une 2ème vie.

Dans leurs projets, nos équipes voient donc à designer des équipements qui répondront aux besoins de ces mêmes clients qui œuvrent autant du coté marchandise que passagers.

Dans ce poste clé, vous veillerez à protéger les intérêts de l’entreprise, à assurer la conformité réglementaire et à bâtir des partenariats solides favorisant la réussite de nos projets.


Ce que vous ferez chez CAD Industries Ferroviaires:

  • Créer et tenir à jour un répertoire centralisé des contrats contenant des informations précises et actualisées.
  • Identifier les risques, proposer des solutions intelligentes et négocier des conditions avantageuses avec les clients, les fournisseurs et les partenaires.

  • Travailler en étroite collaboration avec les équipes juridiques, financières, commerciales et opérationnelles afin d'harmoniser les conditions et les objectifs.
  • Servir d'expert de référence pour les questions relatives aux contrats et assurer une communication fluide avec toutes les parties prenantes.

Administration et reporting

  • Surveiller les étapes clés, les livrables et les obligations des contrats.
  • Gérer les modifications, les prolongations et les avenants aux contrats.
  • Préparer les analyses de retard, les demandes de prolongation de délai (EOT) et la correspondance avec les fournisseurs.

Relations avec les fournisseurs et les clients

  • Servir de point de contact principal pour les questions contractuelles.
  • Résoudre efficacement les litiges et favoriser des partenariats solides et durables.

Amélioration continue

  • Rationaliser et améliorer les processus de gestion des contrats afin d'accroître l'efficacité et de réduire les risques.

Les compétences et expertises que vous mettrez au service de CAD Industries Ferroviaires :

  • Baccalauréat en commerce ou ingénierie (diplôme d'ingénieur préféré).
  • 7 à 10 ans d'expérience en tant que responsable des contrats ou responsable commercial avec de solides connaissances en droit des contrats et en gestion de projets.
  • Expérience dans le domaine ferroviaire, du matériel roulant, des transports ou dans des environnements industriels (expérience dans le domaine ferroviaire fortement préférée).
  • Solides compétences en matière de négociation, d'analyse et de relations interpersonnelles.
  • Souci exceptionnel du détail et capacités organisationnelles.
  • Maîtrise de MS Office et des logiciels de gestion des contrats.
  • Maîtrise du français et de l'anglais.
  • Expérience dans le secteur aérospatial ou dans d'autres secteurs industriels est un atout.
  • Connaissance approfondie des équipements ferroviaires et des opérations de maintenance est un atout.

Pourquoi rejoindre CAD Industries Ferroviaires?

Rejoignez une entreprise riche d'une longue tradition et contribuez à changer l’avenir des trains et du matériel roulant ! Vous intégrerez une équipe d'innovateurs, d'ingénieurs et de spécialistes de la résolution de problèmes travaillant sur des projets à fort impact visant à réparer, entretenir et optimiser les trains, tout en assurant la connectivité des communautés et le bon fonctionnement de l'industrie ferroviaire.
