Reports to: Chief Administrative Officer
Employment: Full-time
About Nucleon Nucleon Energy is developing a new uranium conversion facility to help strengthen the Western nuclear fuel supply chain. The nuclear industry is entering a significant period of growth, driven by increasing electricity demand, energy security, renewed nuclear development, advanced reactors and growing demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power.
Nucleon is building the team and infrastructure required to develop one of the first new Western uranium conversion facilities in decades. We are currently a small, highly experienced team preparing for a significant period of growth as our project moves through engineering, licensing, financing and development. That growth creates an opportunity for the right HR professional to join early and help build the organization with us.
The Opportunity We are looking for a Manager, People & Corporate Services to take ownership of Nucleon’s day-to-day people operations, recruitment and corporate administration. This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a mature HR department and administer established processes. It is a role for someone who enjoys building them.
You will work closely with the Chief Administrative Officer and Nucleon’s leadership team to create the recruiting, onboarding, HR, policy and administrative infrastructure needed to scale the company from a small development-stage organization into a much larger engineering, project development and ultimately operating company. Initially, the role will combine approximately 60–70% People/HR responsibilities with 30–40% corporate and office administration. As Nucleon grows,
we expect the function — and the team supporting it — to grow as well.
Talent Acquisition & Workforce Growth Lead and coordinate the recruiting process as Nucleon enters a significant hiring period, including:
Translating workforce plans into approved positions
Managing job postings including job descriptions, applicant tracking and candidate communication
Conducting initial screenings and coordinating interviews
Supporting technical and executive searches
Managing external recruiters
Coordinating reference and background checks
Preparing employment offers
Maintaining a recruiting pipeline and hiring dashboard
Building a robust candidate reputation in specialized technical markets.




The ideal candidate does not need to be a nuclear recruiter today, but must be curious, resourceful and comfortable learning unfamiliar technical disciplines.
HR & People Operations Own the following:
Onboarding and offboarding
Employment documentation and employee files
Benefits and vacation/leave policies and tracking
HR systems and records
Handbook and policy development
Policy acknowledgement
Probation and performance review processes
Job descriptions and org charts
Compensation administration and benchmarking support
Training and development records
HR metrics and reporting
Payroll-related employee information
Workforce planning and headcount budgeting
Escalating significant issues to the CAO and external specialists as appropriate.
Policies, Compliance & Organizational Infrastructure Own and contribute to the following:
Creating and maintaining HR policies, procedures and templates
Coordinating with employment counsel and external HR specialists
Supporting Canadian and U.S. employment requirements
Helping maintain employee, training and qualification records
Supporting future security, regulatory, safety and compliance-related personnel processes
Ensuring HR information is organized, current and auditable.
The role is not expected to be the expert in every jurisdiction — it is expected to know when specialist advice is required and manage those resources well.
Corporate & Office Services Own day-to-day administrative activities that keep the organization running:
Calgary office administration
New-employee workspace/equipment coordination
Access and employee setup
Staff events
Administrative procedures
Procurement/office services
Records/document organization
Coordination with IT, finance and other providers
Internal workflow improvements
As Nucleon grows, additional administrative resources are expected to be added.
What We’re Looking For Approximately 7+ years of progressive HR/People Operations or related experience
Strong hands-on recruitment experience in a growing/entrepreneurial organization




Experience building processes rather than only administering them
Comfort using counsel/external providers
Excellent organization/documentation and written communication
Strong judgment/discretion
Comfort working with senior executives
The ability to handle competing priorities.
Experience in energy, engineering, mining, nuclear, manufacturing, industrial technology, infrastructure, EPC/project development, technical consulting, scaling technology/project companies or Canadian/U.S. cross-border organizations is particularly valuable. CPHR is an asset but less important than practical experience, judgment and execution.
The Person Who Will Thrive Here Someone who:
Likes creating order from ambiguity
Sees a missing process and naturally starts designing one
Can move between strategic discussion and execution
Enjoys recruiting
Is confident enough to challenge a hiring manager
Can deal with executives without being intimidated
Does not need a large corporate infrastructure
Understands necessary process versus bureaucracy
Is highly trustworthy/discreet
Takes ownership
Can say “I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out”
Likes joining early enough to shape what the company becomes
What Success Looks Like Within the first year:
A professional repeatable recruiting process
Support for significant team expansion
A consistent onboarding experience
A reliable HR system of record
Organized files/policies/documentation
Core HR processes and annual HR calendar
Operational ownership of benefits/employee administration/routine HR matters
Effective external HR/recruiting/legal relationships
Administrative systems that allow executives to spend more time developing the business and project.
Employees and managers should know where to go when they need help — and routine HR/admin matters should simply get handled.
Why Join Nucleon? This is an unusual opportunity to join a company at an important point in its development. You will not be employee number 4,000 maintaining somebody else’s HR system. You will join early enough to help design the organization itself, work directly with the executive team, have significant autonomy, and play an important role in recruiting the people who will design, license, build and operate critical nuclear fuel infrastructure.
