Description

• Support proposal development, project planning, and client presentations.
• Lead the mechanical engineering discipline on nuclear projects, ensuring technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and alignment with client expectations.
• Oversee the preparation and review of engineering deliverables including P&IDs, BOM’s, equipment specifications, piping layouts, stress analyses, and HVAC designs.
• Perform work safely and effectively. Understand and follow oral and written instructions, including warning signs, equipment use, and other policies.
• Identify and manage scope changes, risks, and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Review and approve vendor documentation, ensuring alignment with project specifications and nuclear safety requirements.
• Ensure all designs meet Canadian nuclear regulatory standards (e.g., CSA N285, N286, N299 series, CNSC requirements).
• Drive innovation and cost-effective solutions while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.
• Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams and client stakeholders to ensure integrated and optimized project delivery.
• Encourage and challenge the engineering team to drive “fit for purpose” solutions while being fully compliant with nuclear codes and standards.
• Conduct and oversee mechanical system analyses including thermal-hydraulic calculations, pressure drop analysis, and equipment sizing.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for mechanical engineering matters with OPG and other stakeholders.
• Lead and mentor a team of mechanical engineers and designers, fostering a culture of technical rigor, compliance and continuous improvement.
• Work during normal operating hours to organize and complete work within given deadlines. Work overtime and weekends as required.
