Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical and Instrumentation & Controls Engineers to support nuclear generation and refurbishment operations. The successful candidate will bring hands‑on experience in CANDU nuclear systems and strong expertise in Electrical or I&C system design, control logic development, and process instrumentation within a regulated nuclear environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support Electrical or I&C system design, modification, and maintenance activities for nuclear station systems.
• Provide technical expertise on instrumentation, control logic, distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and field instrumentation.
• Develop and stamp engineering calculations, design drawings, loop diagrams, logic schematics, and control narratives in compliance with CSA, IEEE, and nuclear standards.
• Execute front‑end engineering deliverables of the ECC process, ensuring constructability, maintainability, and operational safety.
• Support troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and corrective action development for I&C systems and components.
• Manage temporary configuration changes (TCC) for control and monitoring systems to ensure safe, compliant plant operation.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers) to deliver high-quality, on-schedule solutions.
• Ensure strict adherence to nuclear safety, quality assurance, and regulatory requirements.
• Mentor junior engineers and technologists, fostering technical growth and compliance with engineering governance.

Experience & Skills

• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario (in good standing).
• CANDU or nuclear plant experience (required).
• Experience executing ECC packages, developing design documentation, and applying configuration control principles.
• Familiarity with temporary modification (TCC) processes and nuclear site change management practices.
• Solid understanding of CSA N290, IEEE, and IEC standards relevant to I&C and nuclear safety.
• Ability to prepare, review, and stamp engineering deliverables, including control logic, interlocks, and system descriptions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical, Instrumentation, or Control Systems Engineering.
• 5+ years’ experience in Electrical or I&C engineering, ideally in a nuclear, power generation, or process industry environment.
