What is the project?

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program involves designing and building a new deep-water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This will involve:

- A 1.5 km-long tunnel, built by a pressurized TBM (10.15 m diameter slurry TBM);

- Two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore);

- An offshore modular intake structure, resting on the lake bed.

The project is distinguished by its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning and coordination.

The Field Engineer is responsible for the redaction of construction documentation, ensuing coordination between work zones and the compliance of HSE plan. They will work with the site team and subcontractors to validate they are working with the latest approved documents and communicate any deviations.

Concretely, your tasks will be:
