We’re open for business and hiring now at our new global engineering hub in Kitchener, Ontario! The opening of the new 13,000-square-foot facility comes at an exciting time for the Canadian nuclear energy industry. There is growing interest in building new reactors big and small like Westinghouse’s advanced AP1000® reactor, the AP300™ small modular reactor and the eVinci ™ microreactor: to power cities and towns in southern regions, and to replace fossil fuels for remote communities and industries in the north of the country. Read about why we chose the Kitchener-Waterloo region, an area of Canada known as “Silicon Valley of the North” for its vibrant tech sector, and the jobs we are filling at the engineering site in the year ahead: https://lnkd.in/gFqAUC5G

3moThank you for this update. This post has been shared on the Canadian SMR Network, a LinkedIn group connecting organizations and people for collaboration, awareness, knowledge sharing, and opportunities in small modular reactor technology.

We have been fully Canadian owned since 2018." Going back in time a few decades, there is an earlier bond between Westinghouse and Canada. In the 1920s and 30s wireless radio was a source of information and entertainment in Canadian homes and communities with broadcast services by independent radio stations. I recently discovered this 1931 newspaper advertisement for Westinghouse radios from a retail shop in Canadian prairie village, Elnora Alberta. In time the radio became a standard household appliance allowing listeners access to other places and events as they happened.
