Accounting Clerk (26053)
About The Position
Are you a recent graduate or early‑career professional eager to build and grow your accounting career? We're looking for an Accounting Clerk to join our growing team. This is a brand new role as we continue to grow and expand across Eastern Canada. This position will be based in our head office in Fredericton, NB. At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We’re an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firm—not too big, not too small. We’re large enough to compete head-to-head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close-knit team. Our size and hands-on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers—without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.
