This is the range within which SRNS expects the majority of qualified candidates would enter this role if offered. Actual offers may be more or less than the amounts shown depending on candidate's qualifications, experience, internal equity, and other factors.

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.

Engineering - Multidiscipline personnel typically manage a multidiscipline group of engineers. Responsibilities are within the Engineering Function as a generalist or in a combination of disciplines.

• Manage engineering programs, schedules, budget, personnel, and equipment to ensure safe, efficient operation of nuclear and support facilities.
• Manage all aspects of a facility engineering group which includes Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) compliance activities, process support, improvement and oversight, maintenance engineering activities, and personnel development.
• Serve as the facility engineering interface for communication of issues with the chief engineer and facility management.
• Routine interface with Project Management, Non-Proliferation Programs, Nuclear and Criticality Safety Engineering, Design Agency, Process Control and Automation Engineering, the IEB, and with external groups such as DOE-Technical and the DNFSB.
• Perform and manage the Design Authority role for a facility: monitor operations to ensure nuclear facility safety is maintained, and that activities are performed in accordance with industrial safety, process safety, engineering, environmental and quality requirements; document results in Management Field Observations and assessments.
• Ensure proposed activities are reviewed for compliance with established engineering principles, safety documentation, design basis requirements, and regulations relating to environment, safety, and security.
• Ensure the organization adheres to Configuration Management procedures to maintain the technical baseline.
• Ensure the organization properly executes design authority responsibilities through review and approval of process and equipment system improvements, including new technology, to improve safety, maintainability, product quality, system quality, system efficiency, and environmental compliance.
• Ensure the organization is properly staffed with the right number and mix of managers and engineers to perform the work scope.
• Assess the effectiveness of the organization and implement improvements where appropriate.
• Serve as the primary point of contact with the chief engineer and facility management/project management for all technical issues that arise as part of day‑to‑day operations or longer‑term program or mission work.
• Interact with management in Operations, Maintenance, Work Control, Quality, Radiological Control, Procedures and Training, along with internal and external engineering groups to ensure the required engineering support objectives are being met.
• Interface with the facility and other technical support organizations to communicate needs and assignment of appropriate priority.
• Interface with NNP and other organizations on technical issues, funding issues and prioritization of work to ensure flowsheet/equipment needs are being developed to remain ahead of mission schedules.
• Participate in the development of key facility milestones and objectives, including Performance Based Incentives (PBI) and Work Authorized…
