Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Charabaruk is a mechanical design engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in nuclear plant design, refurbishment, and safe storage projects, currently supporting Darlington refurbishment through Kinectrics and OPG secondments. He blends hands-on mechanical and welding expertise with mechatronics and robotics (M.A.Sc.), driving practical automation and UAV-based inspection solutions to improve safety and efficiency in nuclear facilities. Nick has led design teams and been the single point of contact on complex regulatory and cross-organizational projects, including developing Canada’s first in-house intermediate-level waste container for in-core flux detectors. He combines field-driven problem solving—responding to construction RFIs and engineering holds—with prototype development experience from pioneering indoor UAV radiation mapping demos. Outside work he decompresses by fishing at the cottage or strategizing over board games, reflecting a methodical yet curious mindset.
