Temporary Works Engineer

JANIN ATLAS, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction Grands Projets, part of the VINCI Group, construction worldwide leader, specialized in the design and construction of major civil engineering and building works in Canada is hiring a Temporary Works Coordinator.

What is the project?

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program involves designing and building a new deep-water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This will involve:

• A5 km-long tunnel, built by a pressurized TBM (10.15 m diameter slurry TBM);
• Two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore);
• An offshore modular intake structure, resting on the lake bed.

The project is distinguished by its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning and coordination.

What you will do:

The Temporary Works Coordinator is responsible for coordinating, controlling, and overseeing all temporary works activities on the project to ensure they are designed, implemented, inspected, used, and dismantled safely and in compliance with BS 5975:2019, project specifications, and Canadian health and safety legislation.

About Janin Atlas:

Subsidiary of the VINCI Group, Janin Atlas is involved in large-scale construction and civil engineering projects in Canada. The headquarter of Janin Atlas is based in Montréal, Québec. We are currently involved in three major construction projects in Ontario valued at several billion Canadian dollars.

• The construction of the subway line south in Toronto, involving a six-kilometer tunnel and associated excavation work. The project includes the design, construction, and handover of all tunnels (twin tubes of 6 km each), 7 stations (turnkey for: 1 at-grade station and 6 underground stations) and civil engineering works.
• Extension of the Confederation Line in Ottawa, one of the components of Phase 2 of the city's O-Train system, which includes the design, construction, and financing of 27.5 km of light rail infrastructure. The work also includes 4 kilometers of cut-and-cover tunnels, 20 engineering structures, 16 stations and a light maintenance facility.
• The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program includes the design and construction of a new deep water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This project will include a 1.5 km long tunnel, excavated by a pressurized tunnel boring machine (10.15 m diameter slurry), two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore), and a modular offshore intake structure, resting on the lakebed. This project is notable for its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning, and coordination.
