Project manager CI/BOP - Interface

Job Description

Overview

The Project Manager CI/BOP Interface leads the delivery management of assigned Conventional Island and steam systems scope within the Monark D Program, with a particular focus on OEM and supplier interfaces (e.g., turbine-generator and major conventional island packages).

The role is accountable for planning, coordination, performance management, and disciplined execution to meet safety, quality, schedule, cost, and contractual commitments.

Your role

Project Management & Delivery Leadership:

• Define and maintain the CI/STG execution structure: scope boundaries, deliverable list, WBS, supplier interface map, key assumptions/exclusions, and milestone plan.
• Lead day-to-day delivery of assigned CI/STG work packages across the project lifecycle (definition, engineering, reviews, readiness for downstream phases).
• Establish effective governance for supplier-driven deliverables (submittal schedules, review cycles, action closure) and ensure accountability is clear.
• Drive timely resolution of constraints, scope ambiguities, and interface conflicts through structured issue management and escalation when required.
• Serve as the delivery focal point for assigned OEMs and suppliers, ensuring alignment on requirements, schedule, documentation, and quality expectations.

Supplier & Delivery Management:

• Coordinate bid/evaluation and award support activities (within role scope) in collaboration with procurement, engineering, and commercial/legal teams.
• Monitor supplier performance, identify early warning indicators, and implement mitigation/recovery actions to protect milestones and quality outcomes.
• Ensure supplier documentation and data packages are complete, traceable, and delivered to agreed timelines to support engineering and readiness needs.

Planning, Schedule & Performance Management:

• Develop and maintain schedule inputs for CI/STG deliverables and supplier submittals; ensure logic, dependencies, and milestone dates are credible.
• Track progress against baseline, analyze variance drivers (supplier, interface, technical), and implement recovery actions.
• Produce executive-ready reporting (KPI dashboards, variance narratives, decision briefs) tailored to program needs.

Cost, Forecasting & Resource Coordination:

• Manage CI/STG scope budget and forecast within delegated authority; maintain defensible basis of estimate and estimate-to-complete.
• Coordinate engineering and supplier-interface resourcing plans to align with critical deliverable and review cycles.
• Support accruals and progress measurement with clear traceability to scope, supplier deliverables, and contractual milestones.

Risk, Opportunity & Change Control:

• Identify and manage CI/STG risks and opportunities, including supplier risks, long-lead risks, and interface risks; ensure mitigations are owned and time-bound.
• Lead change impact assessments and maintain disciplined change control records suitable for audit and claims defensibility.
• Maintain an active issues log with escalation triggers for supplier non-performance, schedule threats, and compliance risks.

Engineering Coordination & Technical Integration:

• Coordinate engineering inputs and reviews to ensure supplier outputs are usable, complete, and aligned with program requirements.
• Facilitate resolution of technical interface matters by convening the right stakeholders; document decisions and assumptions to maintain traceability.
• Ensure deliverables meet maturity gates and readiness criteria (review completeness, data quality, integration with adjacent systems).

Contract, Commercial & Legal Support:

• Support contract/commercial and legal teams with technical/delivery inputs for RFx, contract terms, schedules, and change orders.
• Support negotiation preparation by providing fact-based positions on scope, schedule, risks, and deliverable obligations.
• Manage scope variations and change orders within delegated authority, ensuring documentation is complete and approvals are obtained.

Safety, Quality, and Compliance:

• Demonstrate leadership in health & safety and nuclear safety culture; embed safety and quality requirements into execution and supplier interactions.
• Ensure compliance with applicable QA programs, procedures, security requirements, and document control standards.
• Promote disciplined record keeping suitable for audit and regulated-environment expectations.

Stakeholder Management & Communication:

• Maintain effective relationships with internal teams, suppliers, and stakeholders; communicate clearly and promptly.
• Provide concise executive updates highlighting performance, risks, decisions required, and recommended actions.
• Support stakeholder meetings by ensuring preparation, alignment, and accurate capture of commitments and follow-ups.

Typical Deliverables/Outputs:

• CI/BOP execution plan inputs (scope definition, WBS, supplier interface map, milestone plan).
• Supplier submittal schedules, review trackers, and performance dashboards.
• Integrated schedule inputs and recovery plans for critical CI/STG milestones.
• Cost forecast/ETC updates and progress measurement support with clear basis.
• Risk/opportunity register inputs, issues log, and change impact assessments.
• Executive-ready status reports and decision briefs.

Reporting & Governance:

• Functional Reporting: Project Delivery Lead - Nuclear, Renewables & Industrial Projects (ATRL Engineering Services, Canada).
• Program/Operational Interface: Works directly with the CANDU Vice President (CI/BOP) for Monark D priorities, integration, and issue resolution.
• The role operates within established program governance and delegation of authority; material commercial commitments and scope changes require appropriate approvals.

Key Interfaces:

• Internal: CI engineering leads (steam systems, rotating equipment, mechanical, electrical, I&C), project controls, procurement/supply chain, quality, HSE, document control, contract/commercial, finance.
• External (as applicable): OEMs/suppliers, subcontractors, client/partner stakeholders, site organizations, oversight bodies via established channels.
