With us, anticipate engaging and challenging projects that deliver innovative solutions and value-added technologies helping power more than 38 million North American homes.
Working with vendors is a key part of future success. A talented Procurement Engineer will ensure that procured items, especially complicated fabrications, are manufactured to the highest quality and meet technical requirements for key projects.
What You'll Do Day-To-Day
  • Works with design engineers during the product development and design phases to define technical specifications and requirements for materials, components, and manufacturability.
  • Reviews and interprets engineering drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs) and other technical documents to align with procurement needs, providing technical guidance to internal teams on material selection, manufacturing processes and supplier capabilities.
  • Leads the technical evaluation and qualification of new suppliers, including on-site assessments of production capability, quality systems, and risk profile.
  • Resolves technical issues with suppliers during development and manufacturing, ensuring their processes can consistently meet our technical and quality specifications of the components.
  • Coordinates and executes strategic sourcing plans for all critical components, including make-or-buy analyses for complex or custom-fabricated components.
  • Ensures all procurement activities comply with company policies, industry regulations, and ethical sourcing practices.
  • Conducts research to identify suppliers and manufacturing partners to develop supplier panels that support the company's long-term vision for manufacturing.
  • Assesses and mitigates supply chain risks associated with a new product, including single-source dependencies, intellectual property concerns, and geopolitical instability.

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's Degree in a science or technical field. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
  • Minimum of 8 years of technical procurement and/or supply chain experience.
  • Experience with custom-designed or highly engineered equipment, ideally in nuclear, power generation, heavy industrial, or similarly regulated environments.
  • Working knowledge of ASME codes and standards (e.g., Section III, Section VIII, NQA-1, NOG-1) or equivalent quality frameworks.
  • Technical evaluation skills, including supplier capability assessment, bid evaluation, and design compliance review.
  • Understanding of manufacturing and fabrication processes such as machining, welding, pressure-boundary fabrication, and inspection methods.
  • Ability to interface with engineering teams to translate design intent into procurement requirements and supplier deliverables.
  • Experience supporting procurement or engineering activities within a nuclear facility, DOE project, or commercial nuclear vendor, including Advanced Reactors or Small Modular Reactors.
  • Familiarity with configuration management, change control, and nonconformance resolution processes.
  • Knowledge of material traceability, quality documentation packages, and supplier surveillance practices.
  • Experience with project-based procurement, including schedule integration and risk management.
  • Exposure to complex engineered systems such as heat exchangers, pumps, pressure vessels, remote-handling equipment, or fuel handling equipment.

Total Rewards Package
  • Salary: $99,000-$134,000 and may also include annual incentives and performance bonuses. The base salary range is a guideline. Individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies and work location.
  • Health & Wellness: Multiple supplemental medical, dental & vision plans, life insurance, long- and short-term disability, and optional voluntary plans (critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity, dependent life)."
  • Retirement: RRSP with employer match.
  • Paid Time Off: Up to 3 weeks of vacation, 7 sick days, and 13 paid holidays annually.
  • Extra Perks: Lifestyle spending account, employer paid mental health support, education reimbursement, professional development opportunities, adoption assistance, parental leave, and employee assistance programs.
