Mechanical engineering jobs in canada | Experiance job

The Canadian Light Source Inc. (CLSI) is the national synchrotron research facility on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon. This facility produces high-intensity synchrotron light, millions of times brighter than sunlight, to explore the nature and structure of molecules and serves national and international users from academia, industry, and government institutions. The CLS facilitates scientific research aimed at finding solutions for global challenges in agriculture, health, advanced materials, and the environment.

CLSI is now accepting applications for a Mechanical Engineer as a member of our Engineering department in our Machine Division. Reporting to the Mechanical Engineering Lead, the Mechanical Engineer supports the programs and services provided by the Machine Division by leading medium to large projects. The successful candidate will demonstrate a high degree of professionalism and ability to effectively communicate and function as part of a highly skilled engineering group. The nature of CLSI work is such that there is opportunity to specialize in areas and techniques of mechanical engineering that are relatively unique.
