Manager, Integration

What is the Opportunity?

Aecon Nuclear is expanding its role in the U.S. nuclear market, supporting complex nuclear, advanced reactor, SMR, DOE, and large EPC project opportunities.

Reporting to the Project Director, the Integration Manager will have overall responsibility for implementing and maintaining the project execution integration program. This includes readiness planning, work package preparation and execution, closeout and client submissions, project governance, interface management, and lessons learned.

The role is key to achieving project Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Safety, Quality, Schedule, and Cost. The position will lead and maintain these programs within established quality, regulatory, contractual, and project governance requirements while interfacing with all project stakeholders. The successful candidate must be able to balance client expectations, nuclear quality requirements, execution priorities, and cross-functional project needs in a complex regulated environment.

This position will also be responsible for the functional ownership of integration leads, project coordinators, and other assigned project execution support personnel, including their recruitment, onboarding, assignments, mentoring, and development while working closely with Project Directors, functional leads, and project teams.

What You'll Do Here:

• Responsible for the overall project execution integration program in close cooperation with internal Aecon teams, clients, partners, subcontractors, and project stakeholders to ensure a collective focus on execution goals.
• Ensure all quality, regulatory, contractual, and project governance requirements are met within the project delivery program, from readiness planning through execution, closeout, and documentation and implementation of lessons learned.
• Establish and maintain project integration frameworks, governance processes, execution management plans, and interface management processes.
• Ensure strong alignment between engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, quality assurance, licensing, operations, client, and partner organizations without duplicate processes, unclear ownership, or unnecessary personnel overlap.
• Maintain the construction readiness program, work package tracking, and execution readiness metrics.
• Maintain the OPEX/Lessons Learned program and support implementation of corrective actions, best practices, and continuous improvement opportunities.
• Ensure all project stakeholders are integrated with the project delivery model and clearly understand their roles in contributing to safe, timely, and high-quality execution.
• Lead cross-functional integration reviews to identify execution risks, interface issues, resource constraints, and opportunities for improvement.
• Monitor integration performance metrics and support achievement of project KPIs related to safety, quality, schedule, cost, readiness, and closeout.
• Provide oversight and assignment of integration leads, project coordinators, and project execution support personnel responsible for work package development, execution support, closeout, and reporting.
• Primary ownership of project integration tools, workflow systems, and execution management processes used to support readiness, work package management, turnover, closeout, and document control activities.
• Coordinate interfaces and resolve issues affecting engineering deliverables, procurement readiness, construction execution, turnover, commissioning, startup, and project closeout.
• Support compliance with nuclear quality assurance programs, regulatory requirements, and project governance standards, including applicable NRC and NQA-1 expectations.
• Promote a strong nuclear safety culture, conservative decision-making, procedural adherence, and accountability across project teams.
• Support readiness reviews, management reviews, risk reviews, and project governance reviews to confirm execution preparedness.
• Perform regular field tours to check work progress, verify readiness, understand execution constraints, and meet with project site personnel.
• Provide technical, quality, and program guidance to integration leads, project coordinators, and project execution support personnel.
