Type of position: Regular

As a subject‑matter expert (SME) in high‑pressure steam systems and steam turbines, you will participate in full lifecycle activities—design, operation, optimization, reliability, and safety—across industrial projects in the energy, cogeneration, thermal power generation, mining, and heavy industry sectors. You will collaborate closely with engineering, operations, maintenance, project, and health and safety teams, and contribute to internal capability development and technical excellence of the thermal systems team.

• Design, analyze, and optimize high‑pressure steam networks, including boilers, headers, safety valves, relief systems, and condensate networks.
• Specify, select, and validate steam turbines (HP / IP / LP), their auxiliaries (lubrication, control, sealing, vacuum), and associated instrumentation and control systems.
• Perform or supervise thermodynamic studies: mass and energy balances, efficiencies, performance curves, energy optimization, transient scenarios, startups and shutdowns.
• Develop, update, and validate operating procedures, including startup/shutdown, lockout/tagout, and safe operation of steam and turbine systems.
• Lead maintenance programs (preventive, condition‑based, and corrective: inspections, NDT, major overhauls, planned outages).
• Contribute to capital projects (refurbishments, capacity upgrades, new steam/turbine units, cogeneration) from conceptual studies through commissioning.
• Train and support operations and maintenance teams on best operating and safety practices.
• Participate in risk analyses (HAZOP, FMEA, rupture scenarios, over pressure) and emergency planning.

• Strong health and safety culture and mastery of risks related to pressurized equipment.
• Technical rigor, analytical skills, and ability to make decisions under constraints.
• Collaborative approach and ability to work in multidisciplinary environments.
• Technical leadership and ability to act as a subject‑matter expert (SME).
• Ability to simplify complex concepts for non‑specialist audiences.
• Strong interest in technical excellence, reliability, and energy performance.
• Ability and willingness to transfer knowledge.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, energy engineering, chemical engineering, or related field.
• Asset: specialization in applied thermodynamics, rotating equipment, or pressurized systems.
• 15+ years of relevant experience in engineering, operation, or maintenance of high‑pressure steam systems and steam turbines (blades, stages, rotors, bearings, control, protection).
• Participation in major shutdowns, refurbishments, or new installation projects.
• Strong knowledge of steam thermodynamics and Rankine cycles.
• Understanding of mechanical and material constraints in HP/HT conditions (creep, thermal fatigue, SCC).
• Knowledge of applicable codes and standards (ASME, API, EN, local regulations).
• Ability to review P&IDs, control diagrams, isometrics, and vendor documents.
• Asset: use of calculation and simulation tools (thermal balances, pressure drops, relief valve sizing).
• Fluent English (spoken and written), with ability to produce technical documentation.
• Asset: bilingualism (French and English).

• Annual base salary.
• Annual bonus program for all regular employees.
• Site mobility premium.
• Access to a flexible hours bank.
• Mobile phone program.
• Group insurance starting on day 1, including short‑ and long‑term disability.
• Retirement savings plan.
• Vacation and sick leave.

• Flexible schedule combining office presence and remote work.
• Participation in major and strategic industrial projects.
• Opportunity to act as a mentor.
• Collaborative team sharing ideas and knowledge.
• Company culture that values expertise and leadership.
• Promotion of SMEs both internally and externally.
• People‑first environment where ideas…
