Provide field and construction support, resolve technical issues, and coordinate compliance with project, quality assurance, licensing, and regulatory requirements.

Job details

Concrete Mix Design & Material Engineering Lead the development, evaluation, and approval of concrete mix designs for nuclear construction projects. Review and approve batch plant and contractor concrete mix submittals to ensure compliance with project specifications and applicable industry standards. Evaluate concrete materials, admixtures, aggregates, and cementitious materials for suitability in safety-related nuclear applications. Provide technical guidance on high-density concrete, radiation shielding concrete, and specialty concrete applications. Concrete Specifications & Engineering Documentation Prepare, review, and maintain concrete material, installation, and construction specifications. Ensure all specifications comply with project requirements, quality assurance programs, licensing requirements, and nuclear regulatory standards. Develop and maintain design basis documents, engineering analysis reports, technical evaluations, and specification revisions supporting concrete design changes. Codes, Standards & Regulatory Compliance Apply extensive knowledge of reinforced concrete design and construction standards, including: ACI 318 ACI 349 (Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures) Applicable ASTM standards for concrete materials and testing. Utilize working knowledge of Canadian nuclear concrete standards, including: CSA A23.1 CSA A23.2 CSA N291 CSA N287 Series. Ensure compliance with nuclear quality assurance, regulatory, and licensing requirements throughout design and construction. Nuclear Concrete Construction Support Provide engineering support for concrete production, testing, placement, curing, and quality control during nuclear construction activities. Review and approve concrete placement (pour) plans, thermal control plans, inspection procedures, and construction methodologies. Participate in pre-placement meetings, post-placement reviews, and construction quality meetings. Support field construction activities by resolving technical concrete issues and providing engineering direction. Quality Assurance & Technical Reviews Prepare, review, and approve concrete-related engineering and construction documents, including: Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) Concrete Construction Plans Thermal Control Plans Technical procedures and quality documentation. Review concrete testing results and verify compliance with project specifications and acceptance criteria. Engineering Analysis & Problem Resolution Perform engineering analyses for concrete-related issues associated with complex and safety-related nuclear structures. Evaluate concrete performance, constructability, durability, and structural compliance. Support concrete mix design modifications and engineering design changes using sound engineering judgment. Technical Coordination & Stakeholder Management Lead technical discussions with owners, constructors, subcontractors, suppliers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams. Coordinate concrete design, construction quality, technical compliance, and issue resolution across project stakeholders. Collaborate with civil, structural, quality, construction, and regulatory teams to maintain project compliance. Field Engineering & Change Management Prepare, review, and respond to: Requests for Information (RFIs) Field Design Change Requests (FDCRs/FDDRs) Technical queries Engineering transmittals Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs). Support engineering change implementation while maintaining nuclear quality and regulatory compliance. Continuous Improvement & Nuclear Safety Support quality assurance initiatives and continuous improvement related to concrete construction practices. Ensure compliance with nuclear safety culture, engineering quality standards, and project-specific procedures.
