Heavy Civil Intern

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.

What you will do: 

You will support civil engineering document preparation, estimations, planning materials, and early cost and risk reviews. You will assist with quantity checks, procurement lists, meeting follow‑ups, and create simple visual materials for internal use. 

Concretely, your tasks will be: 

Support the preparation of civil engineering documents, basic calculations, and technical notes. 

Contribute to estimating activities, quantity checks, and early cost evaluations. 

Help compile schedules of values, update risk logs, and draft engineering summaries. 

Take part in developing construction planning materials, procurement lists, and initial subcontract documentation. 

Attend design coordination meetings and produce follow‑up notes as needed. 

Create simple visual content such as charts, diagrams, and overview slides for internal discussions. 

Assist with building preliminary schedules and reviewing early project risks 

Your skills: 

Currently pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field

About VINCI Construction Grands Projets Canada:

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 three 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.
