Radiation Protection Technician - Industrial East

​ Radiation Protection Field Execution

• Perform radiation and contamination surveys in support of nuclear decommissioning, remediation, and facility operations

• Establish, maintain, and adjust radiological zones, postings, and access controls in response to evolving work conditions

• Conduct contamination monitoring, swipe sampling, and release verification of personnel, tools, equipment, and work areas

• Prevent and mitigate the spread of contamination through timely intervention and application of appropriate controls

Independent Judgment & Hazard Management

• Anticipate radiological hazards associated with evolving work activities and implement preventive or corrective controls

• Independently exercise stop-work authority and apply immediate radiological controls when unsafe or abnormal conditions are identified

• Make defensible radiation protection decisions when immediate supervisory support may not be available, escalating issues appropriately while supporting safe and continuous work execution

Communication & Field Leadership

• Communicate radiation protection expectations clearly and professionally to workers, supervisors, and project leadership

• Balance operational demands with radiation protection requirements while maintaining compliance and worker safety

Instrumentation & Technical Controls

• Independently perform operational checks, functional testing, and field verification of radiation protection instrumentation

• Select, deploy, and interpret readings from dose rate meters, contamination monitors, air monitoring equipment, and alarmed devices

• Identify instrument limitations, failures, or anomalous readings and take corrective action to ensure reliable radiological data

Documentation & Event Response

• Maintain accurate radiological records, survey results, zoning documentation, and work-related RP logs

• Support response to radiological events, unusual conditions, or procedural deviations, including documentation and follow-up actions

• Contribute to post-work reviews and continuous improvement of radiation protection practices

What we are looking for

• Certification through the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT) or an equivalent recognized RP credential

• A minimum of three (3) years of hands-on radiation protection experience supporting nuclear facilities or decommissioning activities

• Demonstrated experience performing senior-level RP work involving independent field decision-making

• Proven ability to work effectively with limited supervision in active industrial or nuclear settings

• Strong working knowledge of radiation protection principles, instrumentation, and field application

• Ability to obtain and maintain site security clearance and meet client background screening requirements

• Ability to meet project dosimetry requirements, including minimum available dose budgets

Training & Qualification Candidates selected for project assignment will complete site-specific onboarding, training, and qualification processes as required by the applicable client and regulatory framework. Equivalent training and experience may be recognized subject to approval.

• Early consideration for upcoming nuclear decommissioning and remediation projects across Canada

• Opportunities to work on high-profile, technically challenging nuclear programs

• Competitive compensation aligned with senior RP responsibilities

• Long-term career opportunities within a diversified construction company that is a national leader in nuclear decommissioning and remediation

Interested candidates are invited to submit:

• A resume detailing nuclear RP experience

• Relevant certifications and training records

• Preferred work locations and availability
