Electrical Technician; Nuclear & Hazardous Materials Tec

What You Will Do

Join a team supporting mission-critical manufacturing operations in a high-consequence environment. In this role, you will provide hands-on electrical technical support across specialized equipment and systems used in national security applications. This is an opportunity to apply and grow your technical expertise while working with advanced instrumentation in a highly regulated setting. This position will be filled at either the Nuclear & Hazardous Materials Tec 3 or 4 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.

• Performs electrical repair and maintenance on a wide variety of manufacturing equipment (e.g., electro-mechanical systems, analytical instrumentation, glove boxes, furnaces, radiographic equipment, and high vacuum and pressure systems).
• Provides technical support for fabrication, assembly, inspection, testing, and analytical instrumentation activities.
• Coordinates with internal customers to complete tasks and ensure availability of assay instruments.
• Maintains and tracks documentation to support compliance requirements.
• Works under general supervision and follows established procedures and processes.
• Builds depth of knowledge in a primary technical area; may support multiple functional areas with guidance.
• May work in environments involving chemicals and radioactive materials and support national security-related work requiring protection of sensitive information.

In addition to the Level 3 job tasks, the Level 4 will:

• Perform complex electrical repair, maintenance, and advanced troubleshooting across diverse manufacturing systems and specialized equipment.
• Provide advanced technical support and guidance in fabrication, assembly, inspection, testing, and analytical instrumentation.

• Independently coordinate with internal customers and serve as a primary point of contact for resolving technical issues.
• Ensure the availability, reliability, and performance of assay instruments; identify and implement improvements as needed.
• Lead tasks, projects, or process improvements and mentor or provide guidance to less-experienced staff.
• Ensure documentation meets compliance and audit requirements and contribute to improving documentation processes.
• Work independently with minimal supervision in high-consequence environments, including those involving chemicals and radioactive materials.
• Demonstrate deep expertise in one or more technical areas and be recognized as a subject matter expert.

• Demonstrated experience in electrical troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance of industrial, manufacturing, or laboratory equipment
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, drawings, and technical documentation
• Working knowledge of electrical safety practices, including lockout/tagout and NFPA 70E
• Experience using diagnostic and test equipment (e.g., multimeters, oscilloscopes)
• Ability to work in a team environment and follow established procedures with limited supervision

In addition to the requirements outlined above, qualification at the higher level requires:

• Advanced troubleshooting experience with complex electrical and integrated systems
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and make decisions on non-routine technical issues
• Experience leading tasks, serving as a technical point of contact, or mentoring other technicians
• Ability to identify, recommend, and implement process or equipment improvements

Level 3: Position requires an Associate's Degree and 3 years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation.

Level 4: Position requires an Associate's Degree and 5 years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience directly related to the occupation.

DOE Order 426.2A: Requires a High School Diploma.

• Demonstrated experience in electrical troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance, including work with high voltage systems, AC/DC circuits, capacitors, and RF equipment.
• Experience performing technical work in manufacturing, laboratory, or production environments, such as assembly, materials characterization, testing, or mechanical systems support.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, schematics, and technical documentation, and effectively use digital test equipment.

• Knowledge of electrical safety standards and regulations (e.g., NFPA 70E), including lockout/tagout procedures and safe work practices.
• Experience working in hazardous or highly regulated environments, including those involving chemicals, radiological, or fissile materials.
• Familiarity with quality and compliance requirements, including ensuring work, materials, and finished…
