Start: February 2022
Duration: 1 Year, Extended on a yearly basis
Location: Bruce Power


Key Responsibilities:

• Complete rigorous, daily monitoring and ensure aggregate risk is considered for degraded and/or out of service equipment
• Use routine walk downs and interactions with Operations and Maintenance to become familiar with system and component challenges
• Complete and document walk downs as details in the performance monitoring plan.
• Understand design and operating margin, use established processes to identify and communicate any reduction in margins, including conditional Single Point Vulnerabilities.
• Proactively identify degraded equipment conditions or repetitive equipment issues through performance monitoring activities and trend analysis.
• Monitor for and expect material condition excellence. Use the established work management processes to achieve material condition excellence.
• Optimize use of Predictive Maintenance techniques to monitor system and component performance.
• Review changes to Operation and Maintenance procedures to ensure consistency with design and licensing bases and safety analysis assumptions.
• Control temporary and permanent changes to plant equipment, operating requirements, and design requirements through established processes.
• Use the Engineering Evaluation Process, ensure all assumptions are fully documented and use of engineering judgment is identified
• Ensure preventive maintenance (PM) tasks have a sound technical basis. Seek input from stakeholders to ensure optimization of the PM program. Ensure any PM deferrals are appropriately justified and risk clearly documented.

Expectations:

• Strong understanding or codes and standards
• Experience with Engineering and Project Change Control Systems
• Use and advocate Human Performance Tools for knowledge Workers
• Respect and maintain Nuclear Safety as the number one priority and overarching priority
• Understand all regulatory requirements
• Understand and respect both design and operating margins and limits
• Understand and proactively defend the plant design and licensing basis
• Requires strong technical writing skills for preparing specifications, work instructions, asset management documents, and planning documents.
• Must have a demonstrated ability to prepare clear and concise reports.
• Must be able to propose recommendations and resolution to technical issues both verbally and in writing.
• Ability to interface effectively with Plant Operations, Plant Engineering, Maintenance, other technical staff, Regulators and other stakeholders.
• Ability to interact positively with others by developing trust, mutual respect and cooperative working relationships.
• Requires experience to solve problems, to provide advice and guidance, to initiate developmental studies and to make recommendations during the design, commissioning and operation of a nuclear facility; to evaluate components or materials, and to perform economic studies and evaluations associated with the design, commissioning and operation of a nuclear facility and at all times to work safely.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements:

• Completion of a 4-year University degree in Engineering (Mechanical/Electrical/Mechatronics)
• Two (2) to Three (3) years in Nuclear is considered an asset

Notes from Manager

• They need help on return to service side of things (FTL experience with commissioning/monitoring/testing/interfacing/troubleshooting with the station Ops/Maintenance etc. is an asset)
• Duration: support in the area longer term, no specific timeline
• Systems experience (owning the systems advocating for the systems)
• Potential system engineering personnel in the group as well
• Mechanical/Nuclear Systems background
