The Ideal Candidate

• Degree from an accredited university in engineering, with experience relevant to multidisciplinary project delivery, systems integration, or deployment readiness.

• Minimum of 8 years of engineering experience in multidisciplinary project delivery, engineering execution planning, or integration of complex projects, with at least 2 years' experience in nuclear or other highly regulated industry.

• Currently licensed or able to be licensed by a professional engineering organization recognized in Canada is required. A licensed Professional Engineer from a Canadian provincial Professional Engineering organization (e.g., PEO) is preferred.

• Broad technical awareness across engineering disciplines and understanding of nuclear-to-conventional plant and whole site interfaces are required. Deeper expertise in developing managing cross-discipline, collaborative environment strategies and working environments is an asset.

• Proven technical execution and collaborative planning skills are essential, including defining engineering scope, schedules, resources, cost estimates and dependencies, and sequencing inputs and early packages for procurement, manufacturing, construction and subsequent stages.

• Experience coordinating multi-company engineering, aligning cross-functional inputs, overseeing subcontractor deliverables and resolving technical and information interfaces across disciplines and locations. Ability to turn gaps into clear responsibilities, input requirements and readiness actions. Early project development or FEED-to-EPC transition experience is an asset.

• Experience in model-based engineering, BIM management or model-integration leadership, including multi-company 3D coordination, model exchanges and structured issue resolution, with demonstrated ability to establish BIM execution arrangements that deliver coordinated, stage-ready information-loaded models.

• Experience implementing digital delivery strategies across teams, suppliers and subcontractors with focus on effective common data environments, information standards, interoperable workflows and controlled exchanges is required. Demonstrated ability to drive adoption across organizations and maintain information continuity into EPC execution is an asset.

• Membership and participation in a recognized systems engineering professional body, such as INCOSE, is an asset.

• Experience linking engineering to procurement and site execution through technical scopes, supplier interfaces, deliverable reviews and staged releases is required, with demonstrated ability to identify missing inputs, risks and scope changes, plan closure and communicate readiness and residual issues before commitments and handovers.

• Demonstrated ability to improve engineering methods and delivery processes, apply lessons learned and introduce fit-for-purpose digital or model-based working methods is required. Experience converting technology-development or first-of-a-kind learning into repeatable, standardized deployment practices is an asset.
• Knowledge of, and experience working within established nuclear industry quality assurance requirements, procedures, and practices is required.
• Must be able to travel to client sites as required, according to specific project needs.
