OPEN: Technical Engineer- HFE

Job Overview

The work to be completed is associated with execution and monitoring of the PNR Integrated HFEPP. In general, this entails active management of the Engineer, Procure, Construct (EPC) vendors with respect to their HFE scope through all phases of engineering change: scoping, design, installation and commissioning planning, installation, commissioning, available for service (AFS) and close-out. This scope is distributed across greater than 120 projects across all units and numerous non-identical component replacements (NICRs) associated with the following PNR project bundles:

• Retube & Feeder Replacement
• Boiler Replacement
• Turbine Generator
• Deep Water Intake
• Balance of Plant
• Facilities and Infrastructure
• Collaborate with the 3rd party vendors to actively manage the vendor’s HF deliverables including identification of applicable and industry references including but not limited to HFE guidelines, Engineering Standards, Pickering design basis information, operating and maintenance documentation
• Support functional HFE oversight, review and acceptance of vendor designs and deliverables for the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) under the ECC governance [R-1]. This oversight includes but is not limited to HFEPPs, Interim HFE reports, HFE Verification & Validation Plans, HFE Verification & Validation Reports, HFESRs, N-FORM-10221 parts A, B, C and D, conceptual design reports, design plans, design drawings/change papers associated with HMI/HFE, commissioning specifications, ITPs, and workplans
• Prepare/review/accept HF analysis, assessments and evaluation reports/ design memos (i.e. operational experience reviews (OER), system function analysis, function allocation assessment, task analysis, link analysis, communication analysis, workload analysis, workspace layout assessment, HMI design review, usability testing, HMI validation and verification and HFE summary reports)
• Review and provide Subject Matter Expert (SME) recommendation to the Design Team Leader (DTL) to accept modification specific documentation (e.g., modification design requirements, technical specifications, HMI change papers/drawings, system design manual, software requirements specification, computer system requirement, field initiated changes etc.)
• Support installation and commissioning including but not limited to review of construction completion declarations and commissioning reports
• Oversight of vendor HFE participation/attend/review of materials, walkdowns and meetings including modification AFS, systems available for service (SAFS), and unit return to service (RTS), construction completion declaration and Refurbishment Restart Control Hold Point (e.g. RCHP) completions.
• Identify, make recommendations and track to completion the resolution of all significant Refurbishment HFE issues.
• Review the integrated HMI verification and validation plan and results (if required)
• Confirm modification specific HFE documents relevant as training and procedures input have been identified on the MEC reference document list (RDL)
• Project Regulatory interface support such as periodically meet, provide status updates, review/input to regulatory correspondence and attend inspection interviews.

In addition to the above tasks, HFE analysis work will be conducted to assess at a broader level whether there are any aggregate impacts to minimum staff complement from the PRP modifications. This analysis will confirm that the goals of the integrated HFEPP are addressed at an aggregate level since otherwise this impact is only reviewed at the individual modification level. This analysis may be one of the inputs to support the Pickering Refurbishment Reactor Control Hold Point (RCHP) pre-requisites (staffing levels are adequate to safely operate the unit).

Qualifications

• The Company shall identify in the proposal, the HFE personnel, their qualifications, training and experience for our client to review.
