Summary
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is seeking a Translator-Reviser to join our evolving Translation Services team—a collaborative group of professionals that thrives on producing high-quality timely work and that values professionalism, teamwork, and personal growth.

Language requirement: Bilingualism mandatory
Location: 100% remote or hybrid work environment; 2 days a week in the office in Ottawa

What you bring
Organized. Reliable. Comfortable juggling competing demands. That’s you – committed to linguistic excellence and putting your best work forward. You’re excited about a job that lets you pay meticulous attention to detail, especially in the quest to find the right word or the perfect phrase to communicate an idea. You’re intrigued by complex linguistic problems and the challenges of solving them quickly. No detail is too small, no deadline too tight. Research is one of your favourite pastimes. You have the people and project-management skills it takes to be a service-oriented professional. You’re a team player who’s just as comfortable working alone. When it’s time to pitch in, everyone can count on you.

Your opportunity and responsibilities
As a translation and review expert, you’ll apply your skills to a range of technical and creative documents in procurement, HR, IT, policy, finance and other fields. Among other activities, you will:

Translate and review texts for DCC service lines and business units
Perform translation quality control to ensure concordance, accuracy, clarity, etc.
Support development and maintenance of a comprehensive terminology management database
Support development and implementation of innovative translation processes
Stay up to date with DCC-related terminology
Develop and maintain effective relationships with internal clients, external suppliers and networks

Your skills and experience

Minimum: university degree in translation or related field
Experience: At least four years in editing, translation and use of translation software, preferably in an agency setting
Professional working knowledge of:
- translation software and terminology management databases
- current translation trends and best practices
- project- and client-management best practices

As the successful candidate, you may fulfill your role in hybrid mode (2 days a week in the office) if you live in the National Capital Region. You may also work remotely in Canada (within easy commuting distance of a major centre or travel hub).

Meet the team
Join a small but growing collaborative translation team that works like an in-house agency, supporting a variety of business units and projects. Day to day, you’ll work as part of a supportive team of expert linguists that collaborate constantly to meet the needs of internal client groups located wherever there are military bases across Canada.

Failure to obtain or maintain, the appropriate level of security clearance means either the candidate or employee will not receive a job offer, the conditional offer will be rendered null and void or their employment will be terminated with cause. A thorough security clearance process will be applied to all candidates or employees considered for an appointment; this process includes inquiries, verifications and assessments regarding matters such as, but not limited to:
