Lead Mechanical Engineer

Orano, we’re not just powering the future—we’re engineering its foundation. As part of our groundbreaking uranium enrichment IKE Program, we’re redefining what sustainable nuclear fuel production looks like for the next generation.

We’re seeking a Lead Mechanical Engineer to drive complex facility and process system projects from concept to reality. You’ll lead the mechanical engineering scope on a major nuclear project, serving as both a technical expert and a team leader. From design to execution, your work will ensure that our mechanical systems are safe, efficient, and built to perform — while coordinating closely with a range of disciplines to deliver fully integrated solutions.

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with elite engineers and regulatory experts, moving fast, solving hard problems, and making decisions that have real-world consequences. If you're ready to lead at the edge of what's possible in nuclear technology, we want to talk.

Key Responsibilities

Lead design, analysis, and specification of mechanical systems including piping, large mechanical equipment, and process machinery.

Serve as the authority on mechanical systems, mentoring junior engineers and reviewing deliverables.

Oversee and coordinate the work of the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, ensuring compliance with design intent, safety, schedule, and quality expectations.

Ensure all work aligns with key industry codes and standards (ASME, ANSI).

Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including civil, electrical, I&C, and process engineers — to deliver cohesive, high-performance designs.

Review and approve detailed calculations, equipment specifications, construction drawings, and technical reports.

Perform site visits, field assessments, and mechanical inspections throughout design and construction phases.

Anticipate, assess, and resolve technical challenges in mechanical systems and equipment integration.
