Mechanical & Piping Engineer

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Mechanical & Piping Engineer to contribute to the development of one of Canada's newest uranium mining operations. Working on a large-scale greenfield project at an exciting stage of development, you will gain valuable experience supporting detailed engineering, construction, commissioning, and startup activities while working alongside experienced project and operations professionals.

Reporting to the Mechanical Engineering Lead, the Mechanical & Piping Engineer will work as part of the PLS Project team, alongside engineering consultants, equipment vendors, construction personnel, and future operations teams to help deliver mechanical equipment and piping systems that are safe, reliable, and maintainable. You will be involved in reviewing designs, supporting equipment procurement, resolving field engineering challenges, and assisting with the successful installation and commissioning of plant infrastructure and processing facilities.

This role offers the opportunity to broaden your technical and project experience by participating in all phases of project delivery, from design through operational readiness. You will gain exposure to major capital project execution, multidisciplinary engineering, contractor management, and commissioning activities while developing a strong understanding of mining and mineral processing operations.

As the project progresses toward construction and startup, you will play an increasingly important role supporting system completions, turnover, and operational readiness activities, helping ensure a smooth transition from project execution to operations. For an engineer looking to accelerate their career and develop into a future technical or project leader, this position provides a unique opportunity to learn from experienced professionals while contributing to a world-class uranium development in northern Saskatchewan.
