Coordinator – Indigenous Participation
AtkinsRéalis is one of Canada's largest private sector nuclear engineering groups. We have been providing a wide range of services to the nuclear industry in Canada and around the world since for more than 60 years. We are proud to be the steward of Canadian CANDU nuclear technology.
Clean, low-carbon nuclear power has the lasting potential to break the world’s reliance on less sustainable alternatives. And the capacity to generate consistent sources of baseline power, which intermittent renewable sources can’t.
CANDU technology is designed, manufactured and serviced in Canada by more than 250 companies and over 76,000 jobs. AtkinsRéalis relies on a specialized workforce that’s growing to serve critical sectors across Canada and export to the world.
Being part of and working in the nuclear industry means that you will be part of a local and global solution to climate-change, while contributing to the safety and sustainability to people, animals, environment, and the world.
Did you also know that our reactor is designed with benefits beyond just producing clean energy; it can also produce crucial medical isotopes essential for cancer treatments and hydrogen elements.
