About The Role

The Site Master Planning Lead is a site-based leadership position responsible for coordinating all master planning and spatial integration activities across the NPP Site Preparation Conceptual Engineering Project.

Acting as the Deputy to the Construction Program Director, the role ensures that all site development concepts including grading, drainage, utilities, logistics, access, temporary works, and permanent plant envelopes are integrated into a coherent, constructible, and regulatory-compliant Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Site Master Plan.

This position provides direct on-site technical and coordination leadership, serving as the bridge between design teams, permitting specialists, construction readiness groups, and client operations. The Site Master Planning Lead ensures that the project’s spatial strategy anticipates all interfaces among civil works, environmental constraints, operational logistics, and future reactor integration needs.

Duration: Phase 1 and Phase 2 (Approx. 18 months) // Full Time Project Based On-Site

Key Responsibilities

A. Site Master Planning and Integration

• Lead the development, review, and refinement of the NPP Site Master Plan, integrating inputs from all Aspect Groups and engineering disciplines.
• Define and maintain the spatial hierarchy of the site (nuclear island zones, conventional areas, exclusion zones, utilities corridors, logistics platforms, laydown areas, temporary works).
• Ensure the master plan supports constructability, phasing, and safety functions in alignment with IAEA SSG-38 (Site Evaluation for Nuclear Installations) and IAEA SSG-23 (Safety Functions).
• Coordinate the functional arrangement of site elements, including haul roads, access gates, water management systems, electrical routing, and emergency access corridors.
• Translate the client’s long-term expansion and operational strategy into a phased site-development plan.

B. On-Site Coordination and Interface Management

• Serve as the primary site-based interface between Client’s engineering, operations, and site preparation teams.
• Coordinate design input requirements and field validation with geotechnical, environmental, civil, and utilities teams.
• Ensure consistency between the Conceptual Engineering Report (CER) deliverables and field-validated site constraints.
• Manage interface meetings, field verifications, and design workshops directly at Clietn site.
• Collaborate with the Permitting, Environmental, and Infrastructure Leads to maintain compliance with IAAC, MECP, and local municipal requirements.

C. Technical Oversight and Constructability

• Validate that site layout and grading concepts align with construction logistics, access sequences, and material handling strategies.
• Participate in constructability and operability reviews, advising on optimal site arrangement and phasing to minimize rework and environmental disturbance.
• Ensure that the Digital Site Layout Model (3D/4D) reflects up-to-date field conditions, survey data, and design assumptions.
• Support development of temporary and permanent works integration plans, including laydown, batching, spoil areas, and access control.

D. Data Integration and Digital Coordination

• Oversee the on-site coordination of digital modeling and GIS integration, ensuring that AVEVA, Civil 3D, and Revit models are spatially aligned with the approved site grid and coordinate system.
• Maintain the Site Layout Register and Interface Matrix linking model elements to Subordinate Design Plans (SDPs) and CER Annex references.
• Validate data consistency between engineering deliverables, geospatial files, and the CDE (Common Data Environment).
• Support the Construction Program Director in integrating master planning outputs with Primavera P6 schedule logic for 4D planning and visualization.

E. Field Validation and Reporting

• Coordinate site walkdowns, topographic verifications, and as-found surveys, ensuring that all updates are reflected in the master plan.
• Prepare and maintain the Site Master Planning Report, incorporating site phasing diagrams, infrastructure maps, and spatial risk assessments.
• Support permit applications, stakeholder presentations, and technical workshops with accurate graphical and spatial materials.
• Provide weekly on-site reports summarizing progress, coordination issues, and recommendations to the Construction Program Director.

F. Leadership and Collaboration

• Act as the on-site deputy for the Construction Program Director, providing day-to-day coordination, decision support, and leadership presence.
• Mentor and guide discipline engineers and CAD/BIM designers working on site planning tasks.
• Ensure that the nuclear safety culture and “3S by Design” principles (Safety, Security, Safeguards) are embedded in all site-planning activities.
• Promote proactive collaboration with client teams, contractors, and permitting authorities.

Qualifications and Experience

Mandatory:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Civil, Structural, or Infrastructure Engineering, or Urban/Industrial Planning.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in site planning or civil infrastructure development for nuclear or large industrial facilities.
• Proven track record in NPP site layout development, utilities coordination, and construction logistics planning.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, and GIS platforms (QGIS/ArcGIS).
• Strong understanding of constructability, grading, drainage, and utilities integration in a regulated environment.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with nuclear siting guidelines (IAEA SSG-38, IAEA SSG-23, CSA N-Series) and regulatory planning constraints.
• Experience with Canadian environmental and permitting processes (IAAC, MECP).
• Exposure to digital integration platforms (AVEVA E3D, Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud).
• Excellent stakeholder-management and communication skills within multi-disciplinary, multicultural teams.
• Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) designation preferred.

Core Competencies:

• Technical Integration (Site zoning, utilities coordination, constructability awareness)
• Field Coordination (Interface management, site validation, problem-solving)
• Digital Fluency (3D/4D model integration, GIS alignment, data traceability)
• Leadership (Deputizing, team alignment, proactive decision-making)
• Regulatory Awareness (Compliance with nuclear siting and permitting frameworks)
• Communication (Stakeholder coordination, reporting clarity, visual presentation)

Tools & Platforms:

• Primary: Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, AVEVA E3D
• Supporting: QGIS/ArcGIS, Navisworks, Bluebeam Revu, Power BI, SharePoint (CDE)
• Data Exchange: IFC, DWG, RVT, NWD, GIS shapefiles
