Full-time

The Sr. Director, Nuclear Fabrication is the executive leader accountable for defining and delivering Aecon's nuclear fabrication strategy and performance across Canada and the U. This role owns end-to-end fabrication capability - market positioning, business development, customer delivery, and the establishment/expansion of fabrication shops and programs required to meet current and future nuclear project needs.

The Sr. Director builds high-performing teams, sets standardized execution systems, ensures nuclear-quality compliance, and leads customer relationships to deliver safe, high-quality, schedule-aligned fabrication outcomes at scale.

What You'll Do Here:

Enterprise Nuclear Fabrication Strategy & Growth

- Develop and execute the nuclear fabrication strategy for Canada and the U.S., including capability roadmap, capacity planning, investment priorities, and long-range demand alignment with project portfolios.
- Establish standardized operating models, governance, and performance expectations across all fabrication locations to ensure consistent delivery, predictability, and profitability.
- Partner with executive leadership to align fabrication strategy with broader nuclear business plans, delivery commitments, and customer requirements.

Business Development & Commercial Leadership

- Lead fabrication-related business development, including market targeting, customer engagement strategy, opportunity qualification, and pipeline conversion for nuclear fabrication scopes.
- Provide executive oversight for estimating, costing strategies, risk/opportunity analysis, and proposal development for fabrication-led pursuits.
- Represent fabrication capabilities in client meetings, project reviews, and industry forums; position Aecon as a trusted fabrication partner in regulated nuclear environments.

Fabrication Shops,



Capability Build & Footprint Expansion

- Lead the setup, expansion, and optimization of fabrication shops to meet nuclear demand (site strategy, equipment and tooling, staffing models, workflow design, and readiness milestones).
- Establish scalable programs for production planning, quality documentation, welding/inspection readiness, materials control, and traceability aligned to nuclear requirements.
- Drive facility readiness for current and future scopes, including resource planning, supply chain strategy, and interfaces with project/site execution teams for seamless handover and installation readiness.
- Ensure fabrication work is planned, executed, and documented in compliance with nuclear quality programs, codes, regulatory requirements, and contractual obligations.
- Champion an industry leading safety culture and ensure full implementation of Aecon Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) programs across fabrication operations.
- Set performance systems for production efficiency, cost control, forecasting, and schedule adherence; lead recovery planning when fabrication performance deviates from plan.
- Drive continuous improvement and operational excellence (e.g., Lean principles and the Building Smarter program) across fabrication shops and programs.
- Lead innovation and drive technology advancements into the process to improve performance, lower costs and improve delivery timelines.

Nuclear Quality & Regulatory/Client Compliance

- Ensure consistent application of quality standards, inspection/test planning, audit readiness, and corrective action management across all fabrication locations.
- Provide executive oversight for resolving non-conformances, deviations,



and technical issues with strong governance, root cause rigor, and prevention focus.
- Maintain strong working relationships with customers, regulators, and third-party inspectors as required during fabrication activities and audits.
- Own senior-level customer relationships for nuclear fabrication - performance, issue resolution, contract governance, and long-term partnership growth.
- Serve as the executive escalation point for customer concerns and commitments; ensure communication is proactive, transparent, and solutions-oriented.
- Partner with internal stakeholders (Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Project Management, Construction) to align fabrication outcomes with end-to-end project success.

Leadership, Organization Design & Talent Building

- Build and lead a high-performing multi-site team (operations leaders, fabrication managers, engineering/technical leaders, quality leadership, and support functions).
- Establish clear role accountability, performance expectations, succession plans, and development pathways; mentor leaders to strengthen nuclear fabrication capability.
- Ensure training qualifications, certifications, and competency requirements are tracked and maintained for nuclear fabrication personnel.

What You Bring to the Team:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction Management, or related discipline (or equivalent industry experience).
- Progressive senior leadership experience in fabrication/manufacturing/industrial construction, ideally within nuclear or similarly regulated high-compliance environments.
- Demonstrated capability leading multi-site operations, building teams, setting operating systems, and delivering measurable performance improvements.
- Robust understanding of nuclear safety culture, fabrication codes/standards, and quality systems (e.g., CSA / ASME / AWS as applicable to scope).
- Proven executive-level stakeholder management skills with customers, regulators/inspectors, suppliers, and internal leadership.
