Job Description

Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior HVAC & Mechanical Lead Engineer (P.Eng.) to lead the mechanical design and multidisciplinary execution of complex infrastructure projects. In this role, you will oversee the complete lifecycle - from concept through contract administration - for HVAC for Nuclear Power Plants.

This position requires experienced individuals who are self-starters capable of working independently and leading/supervising junior engineers. The individuals will work in a fast-paced team environment performing engineering services for Nuclear Power Plants within a matrix organization.

Your role

• Lead detailed design for HVAC and cooling systems. Supervise, train, and mentor junior and intermediate engineers, technologists.
• Perform complex heat load calculations, equipment sizing (including high-capacity chillers, boilers, and pumps), piping /duct sizing, and hydraulic modeling, fluid flow analysis and pressure drop calculations.
• Perform conceptual and detail design activities for HVAC and supporting systems which include preparation of ducting and instrumentation diagrams, detail drawings and equipment arrangement/layouts.
• Support design registration submissions related to power plants (both conventional and/or nuclear), other commercial, etc.
• HVAC equipment sizing and selection (AHU, FCUs, Stack etc.), prepares technical specifications, datasheets, engineering quotation request, technical tender evaluation and vendor document review.
• Review design calculations, analysis reports, documents, and drawings in support of design verification.
• Design specialized environmental systems for Class 1 Zone 1 & 2 hazardous locations.
• Ensure full adherence to local, provincial, and national codes and standards including OBC, NFC, NFPA (including NFPA 820), ASHRAE, TEMA, API, and AODA. ASME (B31.1/B31.3, Section VIII) is an asset.
• Interface directly with regulatory bodies (TSSA, MOE, Enbridge).
