Real success is the success you share

What is the project?

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program involves designing and building a new deep-water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This will involve:

A5 km-long tunnel, built by a pressurized TBM (10.15 m diameter slurry TBM);
Two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore);
An offshore modular intake structure, resting on the lake bed.
The project is distinguished by its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning and coordination.

What you will do:

The Draftsman/Draftswoman will be responsible for preparing technical drawings and plans used in construction projects, ensuring accuracy, compliance with regulations, and alignment with project specifications.

Concretely, your tasks will be:

Collaborate with engineers, and project managers to understand project requirements
Create drawings from scratch, based on engineering inputs, site conditions, and project specifications
Draw site installations with logistics and liftings operations
Prepare drawings for utilities, traffic, dewatering drawings
Temporary works drawings with formwork
Ensure drawings are accurate and correspond to project requirements
Revise drawings based on feedback and changes in project scope
Use CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit) to produce high-quality plans
Civil works, TBM and SEM tunnelling sequences and interfaces
Prepare drawings/inputs for civil works including the sequence of casting and reinforcement design basis
Excavation sequence with secant piles, soldier piles, tension piles, rock anchors, struts and walers
Provide support for permit requests

About Vinci Construction Grands Projets: 


Subsidiary of the VINCI Group, VINCI Construction Grands Projets Canada is involved in large-scale construction and civil engineering projects in Canada. The headquarter of VINCI Construction Grands Projets Canada is based in Montréal, Québec. We are currently involved in two major construction projects in Ontario valued at several billion Canadian dollars.


The construction of the subway line south in Toronto, involving a six-kilometer tunnel and associated excavation work. The project includes the design, construction, and handover of all tunnels (twin tubes of 6 km each), 7 stations (turnkey for: 1 at-grade station and 6 underground stations) and civil engineering works.

Extension of the Confederation Line in Ottawa, one of the components of Phase 2 of the city's O-Train system, which includes the design, construction, and financing of 27.5 km of light rail infrastructure. The work also includes 4 kilometers of cut-and-cover tunnels, 20 engineering structures, 16 stations and a light maintenance facility.
