Nuclear outage roles are among the hardest to fill in this sector. The candidate pool is small, the experience requirements are specific, and the best people are rarely actively looking. We are building this pipeline well ahead of several significant outage events planned across Ontario's nuclear fleet in the next one to two years.

Raise is building a dedicated pipeline of nuclear outage and operations professionals for upcoming contract opportunities at generating stations in Ontario and across Canada. This is not a live posting for a single role. Apply once, and we'll reach out with details on specific opportunities, timelines, and sites as they become available.

About The Opportunity The Darlington Vacuum Building Outage is scheduled for Q2 2027 — a major event requiring all four units to come offline simultaneously.

The Pickering

Refurbishment execution phase begins in early 2027, bringing a sustained need for outage planning and execution support across multiple units over many years.

Beyond
