Try

Code:
find /var/www/hrmtest/cache/upload/*.doc -exec sh -c 'egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" $1 | xargs egrep -l --ignore-case "complet"' {} {} \;

or
Code:
find /var/www/hrmtest/cache/upload/*.doc | xargs egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" | xargs egrep -l --ignore-case "complet"

if you always expect the Master en Achats comes first and complet comes second

then you can try

Master en Achats.*complet

Similar idea to anchal_khare . Search each file twice if necessary.

Code:
find /var/www/hrmtest/cache/upload/ -type f -name '*.doc' | while read filename
do
     egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" "${filename}"; FOUND1=$?
     # Leave the loop if we don't find the first string
     if [ "${FOUND1}" -ne 0 ]
     then
                 continue
     fi
     #
     egrep -l --ignore-case "complet" "${filename}"; FOUND2=$?
     # Leave the loop if we don't find the second string	
     if [ $FOUND2 -ne 0 ]
     then
            continue
     fi
     # Report matching file matching both conditions
     echo "${filename}"
done

If these files are Microsoft Word format document the process is not reliable. The "egrep" program is only suitable for searching unix format ascii text files where each record are of a reasonable length and terminated with a line-feed character.
A Microsoft Word document is not like this. Even a "space" character can be a non-ascii character.

How about this:
Code:
$ find /var/www/mysite/uploads/files/*.doc \ |
while read fname
do
     egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" "${fname}" | egrep -l --ignore-case "complet"
done

EDIT: Forget it! This one will not work! Smilie

@felipe.vinturin
I'm afraid that your script contains the same mistake as several earlier attempts in this thread.
A "grep -l" outputs a filename. The second "grep -l" in your script will look for a filename containing the string "complet".
