What is the Opportunity?As part of an alliance agreement, Aecon Nuclear has been awarded a contract with Ontario Power Generation to support the Darlington New Nuclear Project (DNNP). Beginning in 2023, Aecon will support the validation phase, design, procurement, early site preparation and site mobilization scope for the construction of the Unit 1 Small Modular Reactor at the Darlington site.
The Civil Construction Manager - Concrete is responsible for the planning, coordination and execution of major civil and structural concrete activities within a nuclear construction environment. The role provides leadership across field execution, subcontractor management, engineering coordination, quality, safety, scheduling and turnover.
The successful candidate will bring extensive experience delivering complex concrete scopes and will ensure work is executed safely, efficiently and in accordance with project drawings, specifications, quality requirements and construction schedules.
What You'll Do Here:- Lead the planning and execution of civil and structural concrete construction activities, including foundations, slabs, walls, equipment foundations and other major concrete structures.
- Provide overall leadership for concrete construction activities from pre-construction and constructability review through execution, inspection and turnover.
- Coordinate concrete activities including excavation interfaces, formwork, reinforcing steel, embeds, anchor bolts, concrete placement, curing, finishing and testing.
- Review construction drawings, specifications and work packages to identify constructability concerns, sequencing requirements and potential field constraints.
- Work closely with Engineering to resolve technical issues, RFIs, drawing discrepancies and field conditions.
- Coordinate with Quality to ensure work is completed in accordance with applicable inspection and test plans, hold/witness points, inspection requirements and project quality documentation.
- Ensure required inspections and approvals are completed prior to concrete placement.
- Lead short- and medium-term construction planning, including look-ahead schedules, manpower requirements, equipment needs, material availability and subcontractor activities.
- Monitor field productivity and construction progress and proactively address issues that could impact project milestones.
- Manage and coordinate civil/concrete subcontractors, ensuring alignment with project expectations for safety, quality, schedule and performance.
- Coordinate concrete scopes with mechanical, electrical, structural and other construction disciplines to minimize field conflicts.
- Ensure appropriate controls are maintained for items such as reinforcing steel, embeds, penetrations, anchor bolts and dimensional tolerances.
- Support resolution of non-conformances and construction deficiencies in coordination with Quality and Engineering.
- Maintain strong field presence and promote a culture of safety, quality, accountability and procedural compliance.
- Support turnover and close-out activities, ensuring construction documentation is complete and deficiencies are addressed.
- Participate in construction meetings and provide updates regarding progress, risks, constraints and upcoming activities.
- Identify construction risks early and develop mitigation plans to protect safety, quality and schedule.
What You Bring to the Team:- Post-secondary education in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Civil Engineering Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant construction experience.
- Significant experience managing large-scale civil and structural concrete construction.
- Strong technical knowledge of:
- Reinforced concrete construction
- Formwork systems
- Reinforcing steel/rebar
- Concrete placement and finishing
- Embedded items and anchor bolts
- Concrete testing and inspection
- Structural tolerances and constructability
- Demonstrated experience managing construction activities from planning through field execution and turnover.
- Experience leading superintendents, field teams, trades and/or major subcontractors.
- Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications and work packages.
- Experience working collaboratively with Engineering, Quality, Safety, Project Controls and Construction teams.
- Strong understanding of QA/QC requirements and construction documentation.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple construction interfaces, priorities and field constraints in a complex project environment.
- Strong leadership, communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a highly regulated and process-driven construction environment.
- Previous experience working on nuclear construction projects.
- Experience within other highly regulated or technically complex environments such as power generation, heavy industrial, major infrastructure, hydro, transit or large EPC projects.
- Experience managing large and technically complex reinforced concrete scopes.
- Familiarity with nuclear construction quality programmes, document control, traceability and controlled work processes.
- Experience working in a unionized construction environment.
- Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary construction and engineering teams on large-scale projects.
