Senior Mechanical Engineer

About

Aplin is partnering with a leading industrial manufacturer to recruit a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support the execution of nuclear and critical fabrication projects. This is a hands‑on role within a regulated environment where engineering decisions directly impact fabrication, compliance, and delivery.

This position requires a technically strong engineer who can operate with a high degree of independence in a code‑driven, audit‑ready environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical engineering execution for nuclear fabrication projects
• Develop and review fabrication drawings, calculations, and engineering packages
• Ensure compliance with ASME Section III, Section VIII, CSA, and customer specifications
• Support technical estimating, quoting, and risk evaluation
• Provide engineering support throughout manufacturing
• Participate in design reviews, audits, and inspections
• Resolve shop‑floor technical issues and deviations in real time
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across engineering and production
• Mentoring and providing guidance to junior engineers

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation — required
• 10–15 years of experience in:
  • Nuclear manufacturing
  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heavy industrial or engineered‑to‑order environments
• Strong, working knowledge of:
  • ASME codes (Section III and Section VIII)
  • Fabrication and welding processes
  • Manufacturing environments and shop‑floor execution
• Proven ability to:
  • Work effectively in a regulated, compliance‑driven environment
  • Produce clear, accurate, and audit‑ready technical documentation
  • Communicate effectively across engineering, quality, and production teams

Role Context

This is not a design‑only role. The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with fabrication teams, support projects from engineering through manufacturing and delivery, and operate in a fast‑paced environment with limited ramp‑up time.

Only candidates currently based in Canada with unrestricted Canadian work authorization will be considered. No sponsorship is available for this position.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
