Current Opportunities
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISOR
About Us
Global First Power is a Canadian company working to develop and deploy the future of nuclear, a small modular reactor (SMR).
Global First Power (GFP) is in the business of developing and deploying small modular reactor technology as an alternative to fossil-fuel generation in remote communities and mines that are not connected to provincial electricity grids.
GFP intends to provide a new form of safe, clean, reliable, and commercially-viable energy to Canada by owning and operating the next generation of nuclear technology. GFP is a federally-incorporated Canadian company located in Ontario.
Our Micro Modular Reactor (MMR®) Project at Chalk River, will demonstrate a safe, clean, reliable, and commercially-viable nuclear energy option for heavy industry and remote communities that rely on diesel.
Our Role
The Environmental Advisor will support GFP throughout the Environmental Assessment process, including working with our consultants through the late stages of the drafting and submission of the Environmental Impact Statement, public engagement/feedback on this material, and subsequent revisions as required. Working in a start-up environment, there is opportunity to help shape how the work gets done, as well as a need for an individual who is self-managed and able to deliver with minimal supervision. This role will be at the forefront of the nuclear industry, supporting Canada’s first Gen IV SMR project. Doing this right will create opportunities to help end reliance on diesel fuel in off-grid, remote, and small industrial locations. The Environmental Advisor is a stand-alone role with limited support from our parent companies, so a knowledgeable, competent, and independent candidate will thrive on this project.
