This challenging position involves working closely with our DND clients, with an expectation of some work being performed on-site in Halifax and while preference will be given to someone who is able to work on-site in Halifax at least part of the week with the rest of the work being performed remotely (telework), an arrangement with 100% telework could be considered.
