Job description

Passive Equipment Engineer – Developer / Coordinator / Verifier – Key Expert

Contract Duration: Estimated start March 2026; initial term of approximately 12 months with potential to extension based on project needs

Work Location: Canada (supporting Romanian nuclear project); hybrid work model

Work Schedule: Full-time

The Passive Equipment Engineer will support the development, coordination, and verification of maintenance and reliability programs for a Romanian nuclear project. This role focuses on passive equipment and components and involves applying predictive and investigative techniques to support long‑term asset integrity and defect detection planning within a regulated nuclear environment.

Experience and Role Accountabilities

• Develop, coordinate, and verify preventive and condition-based maintenance programs (PM, PDM, TBM, CBM) for passive equipment and associated components.
• Support at least one completed project involving the development of maintenance programs for equipment and/or components.
• Prepare simple and complex defect detection plans, including at least one completed defect detection plan.
• Apply predictive maintenance techniques such as Eddy Current Testing (ECT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to assess equipment condition and degradation mechanisms.
• Use structured investigative and problem‑solving methodologies (e.g. Kepner‑Tregoe) to support technical investigations and root cause analysis.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering, maintenance, and asset integrity teams to ensure technical accuracy and program alignment.
• Provide technical input and verification support for passive equipment programs within a nuclear project environment.

Education and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Materials Engineering, or a combination of these disciplines.
• Minimum three (3) years of professional experience following graduation.
• Training in predictive techniques such as ECT and Ultrasonic Testing.
• Training in investigative or analytical problem‑solving methodologies.
• Strong technical documentation and coordination skills.
• Professional English communication skills, written and spoken.

Must have

• Minimum three (3) years of experience supporting passive equipment and components.
• Experience developing at least one project involving PM, PDM, TBM, or CBM programs for equipment and/or components.
• Hands‑on experience or formal training in predictive techniques (ECT, UT).
• Experience preparing both simple and complex defect detection plans.
• Experience applying investigative methodologies such as Kepner‑Tregoe or equivalent.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting nuclear, energy, or other highly regulated industrial projects.
• Experience working on international or multi‑country engineering programs.
• Familiarity with asset integrity management, materials degradation, and inspection planning.
• Experience in long‑term, program‑based contract environments.
