Junior Mechanical Engineer

Role overview

Role responsibilities

• Performs calculations, data reviews, drawings, specifications, and field support under licensed Professional Engineer supervision.
• Applies station procedures, design-basis documents, governing codes and standards, configuration-management processes, and nuclear quality requirements.
• Participates in field walkdowns, design reviews, technical meetings, and resolution of straightforward engineering issues.
• Maintains accurate records, identifies uncertainties, seeks guidance, and incorporates checking comments.
• Develops toward P.Eng. licensure and progressively assumes more complex assignments.
• Applies nuclear quality, design verification, operating experience, ageing management, equipment qualification, human factors, and commissioning principles as applicable.
• Works with operations, maintenance, construction, commissioning, suppliers, quality, and authorized-inspection interfaces.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline acceptable for progression toward PEO licensure, or equivalent academic pathway recognized by PEO.
• Normally 0–3 years of relevant experience; nuclear, power-generation, heavy-industry, co-op, or project experience is an asset.
• Work is performed under appropriate P.Eng. supervision until licensed; active development toward PEO licensure is expected.
• Strong written communication, analytical discipline, willingness to seek guidance, and commitment to nuclear safety culture.

Technical knowledge

• Working knowledge appropriate to level of CANDU mechanical systems and components, including pressure boundary, piping, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, supports, qualification, and modifications.
• Knowledge, as applicable, of CNSC expectations, CSA nuclear standards N285, N286, N287, N289, N290, and N299, and ASME BPVC requirements.
• Understand and apply the station design and licensing basis and the governing code edition, station procedures, and approved engineering processes.

PEO licensure context

• PEO licensure requires prescribed academic, experience/competency, National Professional Practice Examination, and good-character requirements.
• The minimum time component for eligible engineering experience is 24 months; applicants must also demonstrate required competencies.
• This job description does not replace current PEO licensing rules.

Work arrangement

• The employer describes a hybrid working culture.

Rewards and benefits

• Competitive compensation, employee recognition, flexible benefits, training and professional development, and time-off policies.
