• Coordinate internal engineering resources and external engineering consultants.
• Identify technical risks, integration gaps, and readiness concerns, and drive them toward resolution.
• Facilitate alignment between engineering, operations, maintenance, construction, project management, commissioning, and other project stakeholders.
• Support development and maintenance of engineering schedules, execution plans, estimates, and resource requirements.
• Coordinate technical inputs to procurement packages, bid evaluations, vendor reviews, and post-award technical activities.
• Provide technical leadership during field execution, including resolution of RFIs, design changes, field conditions, and commissioning issues.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are complete, appropriately reviewed, and aligned with applicable Cameco requirements, codes, standards, and project objectives.
• Promote clear communication, practical decision-making, and continuity of the engineering solution throughout the project lifecycle.

• 8+ years of engineering and project delivery experience in mining, industrial processing, energy, infrastructure, or a comparable heavy industrial environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary engineering efforts on capital or sustaining projects.
• Experience coordinating engineering consultants and multiple engineering disciplines.
• Strong understanding of project delivery, technical oversight, engineering reviews, procurement, construction, and commissioning processes.
• Strong communication, facilitation, organization, and technical decision-making skills.
• Ability to work effectively across functions, locations, and organizations, including in situations where scope or responsibilities are still being defined.
• Ability to travel to Cameco work locations as required.

Recommended Qualifications and Experience

• Experience working in regulated industrial environments.
• Experience supporting mining, uranium processing, or other complex industrial facilities.
