Job description
🌍 About Us
NPXpartners with nuclear utilities and new reactor projects to unlock performance through innovation. We combine decades of nuclear operation expertise with AI, digital tools, and lean processes, to help plants run safer, smarter, and more cost-effectively. Our Human Factors Engineering team integrates human performance into design, safety, and operational decisions through applied HFE. Partnering closely with utilities, vendors, and multidisciplinary teams, we help ensure changes are safe, usable, and operationally sound, supporting reliable nuclear operations as systems modernize and complexity increases.
🧠 The Role
NPX is looking for a Human Factors Specialist (Intermediate) to support nuclear design, safety, and operational projects across Canada, including new build initiatives. In this role, you’ll provide applied Human Factors Engineering support to engineering modifications, modernization efforts, and new build programs, working closely with multidisciplinary teams. As nuclear systems evolve and capacity expands, your work will help ensure changes are implemented safely, effectively, and in alignment with human performance expectations.
Location: Hybrid (Travel to client site as required by project needs).
Salary Range: $110-140k (Exact compensation may vary).
🎯 What You’ll Drive
- Deliver Human Factors analyses (OPEX reviews, Function Analysis, Task Analysis, Timeline Analysis, Human-System Interface Design and Verification & Validation) to support engineering modifications and design projects.
- Integrate HFE into design decisions, ensuring human performance considerations are embedded, not retrofitted.
- Partner with multidisciplinary engineering teams, vendors, and client HFE groups to review designs against HFE standards and regulatory expectations.
- Support operational and safety initiatives, including Minimum Shift Complement assessments and design changes impacting operations.
- Translate complex technical and human-system challenges into clear, actionable recommendations that support safer, more reliable nuclear operations.
- Representative projects may include: Human Factors support for nuclear design modifications, Minimum Shift Complement and task/timeline analyses, control room or HMI modernization initiatives, and support to operational or safety-related programs (e.g., SAMGs).
