Nuclear Facilities Engineer ; Electrical Project Engineer

Position: Nuclear Facilities Engineer 2/3 (Electrical Project Engineer)
** What You Will Do*
* ** This position will be filled at either the Nuclear Facilities Engineer 2/3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate.  Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.*
* The Construction Readiness Office (CRO) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Electrical Nuclear Facilities Engineer (NFE 2/3) to support mission-critical infrastructure, operational readiness, startup integration, and construction execution activities across Laboratory facilities and modernization projects.

The selected candidate will support the team lead supporting complex construction and readiness efforts associated with institutional and nuclear facility projects. This role will provide technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle including planning, design coordination, construction execution, commissioning, startup integration, operational turnover, and closeout activities.

The Electrical NFE will work closely with project management teams, facility operations, engineering organizations, construction management, startup/testing personnel, subcontractors, and institutional stakeholders to ensure electrical systems are designed, installed, tested, commissioned, and transitioned to operations safely and effectively.

This position requires strong technical expertise, operational awareness, field execution experience, and the ability to independently resolve complex engineering and project integration challenges in highly regulated and high-consequence environments. The successful candidate will support the Laboratory's national security mission through infrastructure modernization, facility readiness, operational integration, and project execution excellence.
