+ Translate engineering requirements into constructible design packages

+ Utilize tools such as AutoCAD, Micro Station (commercial nuclear), and Solid Works (SMR projects)

+ Perform field walkdowns to verify dimensions, routing, and equipment interfaces

+ Validate as-built conditions and resolve discrepancies between design and field

+ Collaborate with engineering, construction, and plant teams to resolve design issues

+ Support plant modifications, upgrades, and design changes

+ Ensure compliance with nuclear QA programs, codes, and standards

+ Maintain configuration control and support document management processes

Required Qualifications

+ Associate's degree or higher in Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Electrical, or related field

+ 5+ years of design experience in nuclear or highly regulated industries

+ Proficiency with:

+ AutoCAD

+ Micro Station

+ Solid Works

+ Ability to interpret engineering intent and produce accurate designs

+ Hands-on experience with field walkdowns and plant validation

+ Willingness to travel to project sites as required

+ Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a procedure-driven, QA environment

Preferred Qualifications

+ Experience supporting commercial nuclear plants or SMR projects

+ Familiarity with codes and standards (ASME, IEEE, ACI, AISC)

+

Experience with design modifications and plant upgrades

+ Knowledge of plant systems, layouts, and constructability

+ Experience working under NQA-1 or similar QA programs

+ Prior or active unescorted nuclear access

Work Environment

+ Combination of design office work and field execution

+ Work performed at operating nuclear plants, construction sites, or design centers

+ Must be able to pass background checks, drug screening, and nuclear access requirements

Additional Notes

+ Candidates must be true designers (not just CAD operators) with the ability to support the full design modification process

+ Strong understanding of the nuclear design change process is critical, including standard design change workflows

+ Opportunities available across multiple major utilities including Duke, Constellation, Entergy, Next Era, and Southern
