Job Description
Overview

Our Nuclear Canada business continues to play a pivotal role in Canada's clean energy future, driven by major refurbishment initiatives that secure long-term power generation. The Shoreline Power Group, a joint venture between AtkinsRéalis, Aecon, and United Engineers and Constructors is delivering the Fuel Channel and Feeder Replacement (FCFR) project as part of Bruce Power's Life-Extension Program and Major Component Replacement (MCR). This critical project ensures the continued secure, reliable operation of Bruce Power's reactors for decades to come. The project is currently completing the second and third of six planned Units on a project expected to run to 2033. By combining the proven expertise of all three partners with advanced engineering and execution strategies, FCFR reinforces Bruce Power's commitment to energy security and Net Zero goals-while demonstrating the JV's leadership in delivering complex nuclear solutions that power Ontario and beyond. Project Director (PD)

The Project Director (PD) will report to the Vice-President, Canadian Life Extension and will be accountable for the successful delivery of the Fuel Channel and Feeder Replacement (FCFR) project. This role will be accountable for all phases of execution, including planning, resource allocation, contract management, and stakeholder engagement, including with the client and partner organizations. The PD will ensure seamless collaboration and alignment with client expectations and corporate standards. Given the complexity and safety-critical nature of FCFR, nuclear construction experience is valuable. Ideally, the PD will have a strong understanding of the retube of a CANDU reactor during major mid-life refurbishment work, as this experience provides unique insight into the technical, regulatory,



and logistical challenges inherent in such projects. Familiarity with reactor component replacement, precision installation, and integration within a live nuclear environment will be a key differentiator for success in this role. As the single point of accountability for project delivery, the PD will ensure that governance structures, reporting mechanisms, and decision-making processes support the scale and complexity of FCFR. This includes driving innovation in execution strategies, optimizing supply chain performance, and championing continuous improvement. The PD's leadership will be instrumental in reinforcing AtkinsRéalis' reputation as a trusted partner in nuclear refurbishment and in delivering a project that secures clean, reliable power for generations to come.
