AtkinsRéalis is one of Canada's largest private sector nuclear engineering groups. We have been providing a wide range of services to the nuclear industry in Canada and around the world for more than 60 years. We are proud to be the steward of Canadian CANDU nuclear technology.
Your role within the team:
- Plan and undertake all required process system engineering design and licensing activities for the active projects. Activities will vary depending on project scope but will include such things as thermal-hydraulic evaluations, consideration of site hydrological characteristics in water sourcing and provision design, selection and/or design of early site layout process systems and equipment, process modelling and optimization, coordination of design with other interfacing disciplines.
- Develop conceptual, preliminary, and detailed designs, particularly for processes related to early site development, ensuring timely preparation of deliverables for each stage, such as requirements elicitation and management, development of composite 3D models with other disciplines, capturing analysis results, develop technical specifications, and contribute to project and asset information definition and capture.
- Prepare engineering design calculations, design documents, 3D models, and engineering packages as required for each project scope.
- Select and apply the appropriate process design and modelling tools for as required, including running simulations using simulation software.
- Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards and regulations, and ensuring the adequacy of design for permits, licensing, and compliance with approved plans, as applicable.
- Prepare all required licensing submissions related to the process engineering work performed.
- Ensure effective and interactive working with other discipline team members, sharing data in a timely coordinated manner and preventing “siloed” working.
- Perform site walkdowns if required by the project, for example in support of new design requirements definition, solutions ideation, or performing design modifications.
- Provide technical instructions to supporting junior engineers and others to enable effective performance of their assigned activities.
- Review and comment on the work performed by others to ensure suitable scope, accuracy, completeness, and quality of technical information and design documentation.
- Check the work performed meets the quality requirements in accordance with Company QA programs and manuals, as well as the specific requirements of the customer and project scope.
- Participate in formal engineering design and other reviews as may be mandated for the design activities.
- Support business development in the team through delivering quality on-time work, cultivating valued contacts with customer counterparts through technical excellence, and supporting the preparation of engineering estimates and technical write-ups for proposals.

The ideal candidate:
- Degree from an accredited University in Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial, or Process Control Engineering, or other suitable engineering program.
- Minimum of seven years of early concept process system design engineering experience in highly regulated industries. Two to three years’ nuclear experience preferred.
- 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.
- Experience in process system design and layout, performing water systems, heat balance and thermal-hydraulic evaluations, modelling and simulation of process systems is required. Knowledge of analytical tools used for mechanical and process design (e.g., ANSYS, Mathcad, Flomaster, NUCIRC, CATHENA or similar) is preferred.
- Understanding of process system instrumentation and control concepts and design basics is require. Experience with specifying and selecting or designing related process systems instrumentation and controls is an asset.
- Experience designing and providing engineering support to early site process system layouts and construction drawings for industrial process control facilities is required. Knowledge of new nuclear early site and facility design is an asset.
- Working knowledge of and experience applying all relevant regulations, codes and standards, including CSA B51, CSA N285.0, ASME B31.1, and ASME Section BPVC Section III is preferred.
- Experience preparing and defending all required licensing (i.e., safety case) materials related to your discipline within the Canadian nuclear regulatory framework is preferred. Awareness of and/or experience in regulatory requirements in other countries is an asset.
- Demonstrated thorough understanding and suitable application of relevant analysis software and modern digital engineering tools and techniques is required. Desire and demonstrated ability to innovate and improve engineering activities and deliverables using emerging technologies is an asset.
- Knowledge of, and experience working within established highly-regulated industry quality assurance (QA) requirements, procedures, and practices is required. Nuclear industry QA program working experience is preferred.
- Demonstrated good interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment, as well as communicating and working effectively with external customer and regulator stakeholders.
- Must be eligible for Security Clearance through Public Works and Government Services Canada.
- Must be able to travel to client sites as required, according to specific project needs.
