Engineering roles perform engineering work in operations, production, construction, or maintenance environments. They may design and scale up manufacturing processes, instruments and equipment and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They may plan, design, and estimate time and cost and oversee construction and maintenance of structures, facilities, systems, and components. They analyze and develop solutions to engineering problems related to manufacturing equipment and systems or the causes of component failures.

They develop and apply engineering standards and procedures and provide advice on issues within the engineering field.

Electrical/Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) engineers provide engineering support for electrical and/or instrumentation systems in an operating nuclear materials processing plant or as part of the broader site infrastructure. They identify system concepts and determine system functional and technical requirements, develop, and analyze equipment performance, monitor system performance, troubleshoot, and resolve problems, and ensure operation within technical, regulatory and safety basis requirements.

They propose and develop process/system improvements including equipment upgrades and plant modifications.

These engineers will report to the Process Controls & Automation Engineering (PC&AE) Organization and design and install distributed control systems (DCS) for various facilities y will be responsible for leadership roles for the planning, design, procurement, commissioning, and maintenance of the DCS for HVAC/Ventilation, manufacturing, and plant utilities for various chemical and nuclear processes. Process Control Engineers are expected to be completely cognizant of the nuclear/chemical facility to which they are assigned.

Working knowledge of plant system designs, electronic sensors, and the relationship between the plant equipment and a process control system are key to success.

Duties include software development, software modification, offline and online testing, documentation, and system improvements for existing and planned PLC systems.

• Develop, test and implement new DCS systems to maintain and support Facility Operations.
• Provide creative solutions to upgrade existing control systems.
