Job Description

Senior Regulatory Specialist

AtkinsRéalis is one of Canada's largest private sector nuclear engineering groups. We have been providing a wide range of services to the nuclear industry in Canada and around the world for more than 60 years. We are proud to be the steward of Canadian CANDU nuclear technology.

We have an exciting and innovative new team focused on new and groundbreaking global projects, allowing a chance to influence future design decisions – and we want you to be part of it! This role will be based in either our Pickering or Mississauga offices, within a hybrid working environment.

The team is in “start-up mode”, so this is a hands-on position, with everyone helping to achieve our commitments, and go above and beyond to impress our clients. Our team will always be the first in the door with potential new build clients, so our goals are to enable follow-on large-scale projects for our company and repeat business for ourselves. As such, this is a dynamic role that requires breadth of perspective and knowledge, along with the ability to perform all required drafting work to the right level of effort and quality.

As the team’s global regulatory expert, you will act as the lead licensing and permitting engineer for pre- and early site licensing phases of nuclear new build projects, for clients who are new to Candu, and often new to nuclear and large facility new build. You will provide guidance to the team and the client on implementing and addressing both nuclear and conventional regulatory requirements and undertake or lead the development, review and issue of all early site licensing and permitting submissions.

Your role within the team:

• Elicit and communicate to designers and analysts all applicable nuclear and conventional regulatory requirements for the regulatory framework of the country in which the project is based.
• Propose, prepare, update and implement overarching licensing strategy documents for each project.
• Prepare, or oversee the preparation of nuclear licensing and all other permitting submissions, including both applications and supporting deliverables.
• Support engineering and safety analysts in undertaking the required supporting safety- and regulatory-related analyses to meet requirements.
• Act as the single point of contact and main interface with all existing and potential new clients on all regulatory matters.
• Act as the single point of contact and main interface with any regulatory bodies/regulators as applicable to each project, distilling and communicating expectations and feedback to the team.
• Develop and ensure suitable fit-for-purpose licensing procedures and guidelines for the phases of licensing and countries the team is responsible for within the company.
• Provide regulatory information sessions/seminars and guidance to clients and colleagues for the various regulatory frameworks in which the team works.
• Check the work performed meets the quality requirements in accordance with company QA programs and manuals, as well as the specific requirements of the customer and project scope.
• Participate in formal engineering design and other reviews as may be mandated for the design activities.
• Support business development in the team through delivering quality on-time work, cultivating valued contacts with client counterparts through technical excellence, and supporting the preparation of engineering estimates and technical write-ups for proposals.

Why choose AtkinsRéalis as an employer?

Because we offer:

• The opportunity to work on various major projects for internal and external clients.
• An exciting environment where work-life balance is important.
• A wide array of learning and development opportunities.
• Competitive pay, flexible benefits, an employee share plan, and a defined contribution pension plan.
• A work environment focused on health and safety.

The ideal candidate:

• Degree from an accredited university in Nuclear, Systems Design, Industrial, or Process Engineering, or other suitable engineering program is an asset.
• Minimum 7 years of licensing experience, with at least 2 years of that in a nuclear new build environment is required.
• Licensed by a professional engineering organization recognized in Canada is an asset. A licensed Professional Engineer from a Canadian provincial Professional Engineering organization (e.g., PEO) is preferred.
• Thorough knowledge of the nuclear and conventional safety regulations, codes, and standards used in new build construction in Canada and the EU (i.e., International Atomic Energy Association, Eurocodes, etc.) is required. Awareness of other countries (e.g., United Kingdom, China, U.S.A.) specific regulatory frameworks is an asset.
• Experience preparing and defending required licensing and permitting submissions within the Canadian regulatory framework is required. Experience in applying regulatory requirements in other countries is an asset.
• Knowledge of, and experience working and preparing deliverables within established nuclear or other high reliability organization quality management systems is required.
• Experience in technical leadership is required, gained through planning, managing, and overseeing required project activities and deliverables to complete own and other team members’ assigned work to the appropriate scope and quality level.
• Demonstrated good interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment, as well as communicating and working effectively with external clients and regulator stakeholders.
• Must be eligible for Security Clearance through Public Works and Government Services Canada.
• Must be able to travel to client sites as required, according to specific project needs.
