Scheduler

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.

Concretely, your tasks will be:

Reporting to the Project Control Lead, the main duties are to structure and organize the schedule management on the project, to maintain and update the design schedule and to prepare and update the pre-construction and construction activities schedule.

The position will therefore encompass participating in the following:

• Weekly and Monthly schedule progress reporting (progress update, weekly/monthly look-ahead)
• Develop and coordinate with all department (notably permitting, procurement and construction departments) the development of the execution schedule
• Identify scheduling conflicts and incompatibilities with the design and permitting schedule
• Progressively baseline the pre-construction and construction schedules of construction early works

Baseline and reporting:

• Establish the project baseline schedule (definition and progressively for execution)
• Provide 3-weeks and 3-months look-ahead schedule of activities required to support the project (Definition and Execution) schedule
• Prepare, develop and report on schedule KPIs
• Identify and analyze risks and their potential impact on the schedule
• Organize and perform weekly schedule update and monthly reporting

Preparation of the Execution Phase Schedule of the Project :

• Verify and adjust the Execution Phase schedule based on the progress of the design and permitting activities and evolving contractual requirements

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.

• The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station refurbishment program includes the design and construction of a new deep water intake in Lake Ontario to improve the plant's cooling system. This project will include a 1.5 km long tunnel, excavated by a pressurized tunnel boring machine (10.15 m diameter slurry), two vertical shafts (onshore and offshore), and a modular offshore intake structure, resting on the lakebed. This project is notable for its proximity to an active nuclear site, requiring rigorous standards of safety, planning, and coordination.
