Senior Electrical Engineer - Nuclear

Description

This position will offer you the opportunity to work in a project team environment with other engineers and designers involved in the design, modification, and analysis of new and existing nuclear power plant electrical systems.

You will work on interesting and challenging projects that include investigating, troubleshooting, and solving a wide variety of electrical engineering issues.

Responsibilities include:

• Prepare and review engineering design change packages to install, replace or upgrade existing plant equipment to ensure long-term equipment reliability,
• Prepare and review detailed engineering calculations in support of design change packages, including AC and DC power studies, short circuit, cable ampacity, voltage drop, breaker coordination, motor starting and protective relay settings.
• Prepare and review equipment procurement specifications,
• Participate in bid review evaluation process for potential equipment vendors, to include supporting vendor requests for additional information, developing responses to vendor questions, and maintaining a tracking mechanism for questions/responses,
• Prepare and review scoping documents for conceptual designs, to include constructability reviews,
• Interface with project team members from other engineering and design disciplines (Mechanical, Structural, Civil, I&C),
• Interface with the client in support of the project, including implementing personnel,
• Interface with vendors to perform document reviews and provide written comment,
• Attend client meetings and site field walkdowns to validate scope and ensure client satisfaction
• Travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs
• Support site installation activities during project implementation,
• Assist the S&L project manager to ensure projects are completed satisfactorily, on time, and within budget,
• Responsible for overall technical, financial, and administrative performance of the engineering scope by:
  • Initiating and conveying scope of work to project team members
  • Defining deliverables (i.e. calcs, specs, drawings, design change etic…)
  • Reviewing status and tracking progress of team members to maintain project scope/budget and keep client informed.
  • Routine status meetings
  • Submitting progress reports
  • Tracking and resolving open items and emergent project issues,
  • Coordinating completion of project deliverables

Essential skills and experience:

• An electrical engineering degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program
• 5 or more years of experience in the design of electrical engineering systems in a project team environment for industrial applications, with a focus on design for existing nuclear power plants
• Experience in the selection of equipment, materials, and the preparation and assembling of engineering design change packages, calculations, and specifications
• Experience with electrical system design including low and medium voltage distribution systems (transformers, generators, motor, relays, etc.)
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to convey information to project team members and client
• Detail oriented approach to work
• Capable of being badged for unescorted access to a nuclear power station

Valued but not required skills and experience:

• PE license
• MSEE

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:

• You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
• Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process‑improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
• Overseeing engineers who program…
