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.

- 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.
