As a federal Crown corporation, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) is mandated to enable nuclear science and technology and to protect the environment by fulfilling the government of Canada’s radioactive waste and decommissioning responsibilities. AECL receives federal funding to deliver on its mandate and reports to Parliament through the Minister of Natural Resources. It also leverages the unique capabilities at its sites to support industry and other third parties on commercial terms. As the head of a Crown corporation and an accountable member of the Natural Resources portfolio, the President and Chief Executive Officer provides timely and expert advice to both the department and the Minister of Natural Resources. The President and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for providing strategic guidance, oversight and leadership to AECL and is accountable to the AECL Board of Directors for the administration of contractual arrangements for the operation and management of AECL’s Nuclear Laboratories under the Government-owned, Contractor-operated (GoCo) model. The President and Chief Executive Officer will use the highly-incentivized GoCo contract to achieve the Government objectives of containing and reducing costs and risks for Canadian taxpayers, while leveraging the Nuclear Laboratories’ capabilities and resources to successfully deliver a federal nuclear science and technology program, commercial services, and a decommissioning and waste management program.
