·               fully competent in the conventional aspects of at least one engineering field or discipline.

·               plans and conducts own work requiring initiative and independent judgement.

·               develops new concepts or proposes substantial design modifications to meet functional requirements.

·               devises new approaches to problems in the engineering speciality.

·               develops, plans, schedules, conducts or co-ordinates detailed phases of the engineering work in part of a major project or in a total project of considerable scope.

·               work involves conventional engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitable standard materials and difficult co-ordination requirements.

·               assesses the feasibility and soundness of proposed engineering methods.

·               applies broad knowledge of precedents in the engineering discipline or field and a good knowledge of the principles and practices of related disciplines or fields.

·               recommendations are normally accepted as technically accurate and feasible and are reviewed with regard to their overall soundness of judgement.

·               as project engineer has prime responsibility to co-ordinate work of considerable technical and commercial complexity or co-ordinates substantial aspects of large-scale projects.  Defines work scope, communicates client requirements, monitors and reports progress.

·               work is assigned in terms of objectives and relative priorities.

·plans, co-ordinates, and supervises an engineering section involved in a technical issue or several smaller engineering assignments with complex features requiring application of intensive and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices in related fields.  Reviews technical documents prepared by employees supervised.  Prepares inputs into and monitors budgets, estimates, schedules, work packages.  Co-ordinates with other groups as required to establish interfaces.

·may be required to use advanced techniques and/or modify theories, precepts, guides and practices in his/her own field.

·may conduct work having scope for individual achievement and hands on participation in difficult technical work.

·assigned problems may make it necessary to modify established guides, devise new approaches and form conclusions from comparable situations.

·makes independent decisions on engineering problems and methods for persons supervised.

·represents the section in meetings dealing with problem resolution and the planning and co-ordination of work.  May be delegated to represent the branch or department on occasion.

·as Section Head, recommendations of section are reviewed for soundness of judgement; modifications to standard designs and decisions are subject to management review.

• A Relevant honours degree from a university of recognized standing in Engineering or Science;
• A minimum of 10 years of relevant experience (experience obtained in advanced degree programs will be considered for applicability against this requirement);
• Must be conversant with computer environments; proficiency in both Linux and WINDOWS environments is a strong asset;
• Broad knowledge of thermal-fluid sciences (fluid flow, heat transfers, multi-phase flow and thermodynamics)
• Familiarity and experience with some of the safety and licensing computer codes such as CATHENA, NUCIRC, GOTHIC and MAAP
• Proficiency in computer programming, especially FORTRAN, is desirable;
• Good knowledge of the CANDU design, with particular emphasis on the heat transport system (HTS) and plant control, containment and moderator systems would be an asset
• Good knowledge of underlying engineering principles and practices
• Experience in licensing activities would also be an asset
• Excellent oral and written communication skills are required;
• Ability to work well under pressure and be flexible, i.e., must be able to perform varied work assignments effectively and respond quickly to changing project needs;
• Ability to show initiative while working in a team environment;
• Ability to work to budget and schedule;
• Must be willing to travel occasionally to participate in meetings and workshops;
• Full commitment to working in a formal QA environment.
