Description

About Us NPX partners with nuclear utilities and new reactor projects to unlock performance through innovation. We combine decades of nuclear operation expertise with AI, digital tools and lean processes to help plants run safer, smarter, and more cost-effectively. Our New Nuclear team scales this expertise through strategic project management of new nuclear projects, from concept through execution, across Canada, the U.S., and globally. The Role We are seeking a Senior Project Manager (Civil / Earthworks) to lead large-scale site development and heavy civil scopes supporting new nuclear projects. This role will oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of earthworks, grading, excavation, foundations, underground utilities, concrete structures, and enabling works required for reactor construction. You will manage the full lifecycle of civil project scopes, from early site preparation and constructability planning through execution and turnover, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and in strict compliance with nuclear safety and regulatory standards. You will coordinate civil engineering teams, geotechnical consultants, construction contractors, utilities, and cross-disciplinary stakeholders (electrical, mechanical, I&C) while proactively managing risks related to site conditions, constructability, logistics, and environmental compliance. Travel Requirements: Requires on-site presence in Bruce County approximately three days per week to support construction coordination, contractor oversight, and field decision-making. Salary Range: $140-170k (Exact compensation may vary) What You’ll Drive Oversee grading, excavation, soil stabilization, foundation works, structural concrete, drainage systems, underground services, and access infrastructure required for new reactor builds. Identify and mitigate site-specific risks including soil conditions, groundwater management, environmental compliance, and weather impacts that can influence schedule and cost. Develop and optimize construction sequencing plans that align civil works with mechanical, electrical, and structural installation milestones to avoid downstream delays. Manage EPC partners, heavy civil contractors, and subcontractors to ensure quality, safety, productivity, and adherence to nuclear-grade standards. Ensure all civil works meet CSA, nuclear regulatory requirements, environmental permits, and safety standards while maintaining rigorous documentation and quality controls. Proactively manage budgets, forecasts, contingency planning, and schedule risk for large-scale infrastructure scopes with significant capital impact. Support innovative reactor deployments by introducing modularization strategies, digital construction tools, and lean site management practices that redefine how nuclear sites are built. What You’ll Bring Deep Civil & Earthworks Expertise: Strong experience in heavy civil construction, large infrastructure projects, or nuclear/industrial site development including foundations and underground utilities. Proven Construction Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and contractors through complex site execution in regulated or safety-critical environments. Risk & Site Awareness: Strong understanding of geotechnical challenges, constructability constraints, environmental considerations, and large-scale project logistics. Results & Accountability: You take ownership of site performance, schedule, cost, safety, and quality, and drive teams toward measurable outcomes. Adaptability in Ambiguous Environments: Comfort operating in fast-moving, first-of-a-kind nuclear projects where early-stage planning evolves into execution. Cultural Leadership: You model accountability, collaboration, and innovation, strengthening team culture while delivering high-quality infrastructure safely. 🌿 What You’ll Find Here To do great work, you need to be well in mind, body, and soul. At NPX, we design our environment around the whole person, not just the job they do. 🧠 Mind: Tools and support for mental wellness, professional growth, and financial security. 🧘‍♀️ Body: Health coverage, a spending account, and the freedom to rest and recharge. 🌀 Soul: Meaningful work, alignment with your values, and time to refresh with flexible time off. 💰👀 Financial wellbeing? Covered. That means competitive pay and recognition for the impact you make.
