Identify and remove operational constraints before they affect the construction site.
Optimize the supply of components at the point of use, the preparation of assembly kits, and intermediate storage.
Analyze the causes of daily on-site non-productivity and lead immediate corrective action plans.
Establish and facilitate field performance routines, visual progress management, and area-based performance indicators.
Deploy 5S standards adapted to nuclear-sector constraints, prevent foreign material exclusion (FME) incidents, and maintain safe work areas.
Train and coach site supervision teams and external partners in the fundamental principles of Lean Construction.
Ensure operational efficiency and productivity in construction, assembly, and heavy-equipment installation areas, particularly the turbine island and associated systems.
Work with supervisors, site managers, craft workers, and subcontractors to streamline flows, optimize task sequencing, minimize downtime, and meet the master schedule.

Strong knowledge of the requirements applicable to nuclear construction sites, including quality assurance standards, rigorous traceability, and a “Zero Accident” safety culture.
Fluent in English and French, with the ability to lead site meetings and draft work procedures in both languages.
Ability to engage as an equal with site managers or project directors, supported by a strong technical understanding of construction.
