Responsibilities:

- Perform mechanical design and engineering activities for nuclear projects in accordance with applicable codes, standards, regulatory requirements, and project procedures.
- Prepare, review, and contribute to engineering deliverables, including design packages, technical specifications, calculations, assessments, reports, drawings, and supporting documentation.
- Support modifications and upgrades to existing nuclear facilities, including equipment selection, system integration, design verification, and resolution of technical issues.
- Complete engineering calculations and analyses to validate designs, confirm performance requirements, and support technically sound decisions.
- Apply mechanical engineering knowledge to equipment and systems such as pumps, compressors, pressure vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, HVAC, fire protection, and piping systems.
- Interpret and apply applicable requirements, including CSA N299, CSA N285, and ASME Section III, within mechanical engineering activities.
- Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, risk assessments, and interdisciplinary technical discussions.
- Collaborate with engineering, project management, procurement, quality, construction, and other disciplines to support safe and coordinated project delivery.
- Provide technical support during procurement, fabrication, installation, testing, commissioning, and field implementation.
- Identify technical risks, constraints, and opportunities, and work with the project team to develop practical and compliant solutions.
- Communicate technical information clearly through written documentation, presentations, design discussions, and interactions with internal and external stakeholders.
- Take ownership of assigned deliverables by managing priorities, following through on commitments, and escalating issues when appropriate.
- Contribute to a collaborative and inclusive team environment by sharing knowledge, seeking input, and supporting the development of others.
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to nuclear safety, quality assurance, procedural compliance, and continuous improvement.
