Our Branches

Since its inception, Moreau has demonstrated remarkable adaptability to the region’s evolving needs. Founded in 1977 by Jean-Yves Moreau, the company initially operated from a home office until 1983. Driven by a passionate team, Mr. Moreau decided to relocate to 187 Gamble Ouest Avenue, establishing a workshop better suited to the company’s expanding service offerings.

Over the years, the growing workforce and increasing number of projects have led Moreau to move its facilities to Rouyn-Noranda’s industrial sector. Since 1988, the company has been located at 160 Boulevard Industriel, a strategic address that has enabled several successive expansions. These developments have diversified the company’s activities and increased the inventory of equipment required for increasingly complex projects.

In 2010, Moreau annexed an adjacent building to accommodate new offices and workshops, supporting team growth and better meeting client expectations. Through controlled growth and infrastructure expansion, J.Y. Moreau Électrique has established itself as a leader in the construction sector, offering a comprehensive range of integrated services and managing projects from design to completion. The headquarters now covers over 80,000 square meters, about 15 American football fields, thanks to the progressive acquisition of neighboring buildings, consolidating all services on a single site. Extensive outdoor areas with storage structures ensure year-round protection of materials and equipment. As of 2025, Moreau has more than a dozen buildings, 60 garage doors, and 50 pedestrian doors. The site also houses a significant fleet of vehicles, including light vehicles, heavy trucks, and specialized machinery, all essential for the success of large-scale projects.

Since 2004, Moreau’s branch in the Vallée-de-l’Or has played a strategic role in designing and manufacturing tanks for the mining, forestry, and industrial sectors. With a modern workshop equipped with high-precision technologies, the local team efficiently meets clients’ technical and operational requirements. A major milestone occurred in 2014 when Moreau acquired Beroma, relocating the workshop to Beroma’s facilities. This move diversified the service offering and optimized equipment, enhancing the branch’s production capacity and versatility. Today, the site brings together a team of about 40 professionals, including project managers and welders certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB). All workshop members are committed to maintaining the highest quality standards, ensuring safety in execution, and promoting continuous improvement.

Over the years, Moreau has distinguished itself through major projects in the oil sands of Western Canada, where its teams have implemented processes meeting exceptionally high quality standards. This expertise, combined with a highly specialized workforce, has earned the trust of major clients, including Rio Tinto in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, opening doors to new assignments. To strengthen and diversify its services, Moreau seized a strategic opportunity in August 2014 by acquiring Groupe POG, a company renowned for its expertise in industrial piping and site mechanics. This acquisition enriched Moreau’s skills and consolidated its regional presence. Today, the Chicoutimi branch employs nearly 80 workers, with about a dozen based directly at the operations office and 65 deployed across various sites, ensuring efficient and safe project execution in the sector.

Establishing the Edmonton office is a strategic asset for Moreau, bringing the company closer to active sites in Western Canada. This local presence facilitates better on-site coordination and provides effective logistical and operational support to mobile teams in the region. Thanks to this foothold, Moreau manages its resources and travel more efficiently, remaining highly responsive to project needs. By continually adapting to Western Canada’s economic context, the company has completed significant assignments, including major work over three years for a petrochemical plant.

Strategically located in Northern Ontario, the Timmins office brings Moreau closer to its various sites, facilitating operational management on the ground. This proximity has contributed to successful interventions at the Côté Gold and Detour Gold sites through effective logistical support. Additionally, the Timmins office promotes staff mobility and encourages the engagement of unionized Ontario workers, allowing teams to be more flexible and respond quickly to each project’s specific needs. The main activities from this center include scaffolding and insulation, serving the varied technical requirements of local sites.

For several years, Moreau has been active in the metropolitan area, affirming its ambition for continued expansion. The company relies on its teams’ expertise to deliver integrated services, enabling comprehensive management of large-scale projects. This approach ensures clients benefit from global and efficient project management, from planning to execution. Moreau’s committed human capital is a major asset, complemented by substantial equipment and logistical resources. With these means, Moreau can undertake multidisciplinary projects and meet the most varied client requirements while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.

Since establishing operations in Chile, Moreau has positioned itself as a leading EPC contractor for the country’s energy and mining infrastructure. From Santiago, the company manages major projects nationwide across three complementary areas: renewable energy generation (solar photovoltaic and wind), transmission and storage infrastructure (BESS, electrical substations), and multidisciplinary mining sector projects.

This integrated expertise enables Moreau Chile to design, procure, and deliver turnkey facilities while maintaining the safety, environmental compliance, and operational excellence standards that define the group.
