As a design engineer, the candidate will be responsible for developing high‑quality detailed design packages, providing engineering procurement and field technical support to implement those designs, and providing expertise for troubleshooting and technical assessments of plant systems. In this senior role, the candidate will also mentor early‑career engineers and review their designs. Design involves preparing conceptual engineering deliverables such as cost‑estimating bills of material and man‑hour estimates, statements of work, design criteria, and Title II engineering deliverables including calculations and analyses, construction specifications & drawings, and equipment specifications.

The candidate must work cooperatively as a team member of an integrated project team, or as a technical lead for a multi‑discipline task, routinely providing input to system engineers and other plant customers. Mechanical piping/heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineering responsibilities include interpreting, organizing, and executing assignments and engineering design for process piping, utility piping systems, high‑efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration, exhaust systems, dehumidification, and air conditioning in support of nuclear and non‑nuclear projects ired experience includes design of potable water, fire‑protection supply systems, gases, acids, caustics, brines, cryogenics, steam and condensate, hot and chilled water systems, chillers, boilers, cooling towers, vacuum systems, duct systems, ventilation/exhaust systems, and basic installation of mechanical HVAC equipment.

Additional experience in performing computer hydraulic (steady‑state and transient) analysis, computer pipe stress analysis, and support selection/design is desired.
