Nuclear Facilities Engineer OR ; Architectural Engineer

Position: Nuclear Facilities Engineer 1 OR 2 (Architectural Engineer)
** What You Will Do*
* ** This position is open for external candidates only to apply.*
* The Plutonium Facilities Engineering Division (PFE-DO) and Waste Facilities (PFE-WF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are seeking an Architectural Engineer.  Put your engineering talents to good use by joining our world-class Engineering team!  Our workforce thrives in an environment that values creativity and problem solving, where every idea and perspective is welcomed.  This is your chance to make a real difference while working on important systems directly impacting national security.

As the successful candidate, you will join the Plutonium Facilities Engineering team designing, maintaining and upgrading facility architectural and structural systems and components at nuclear waste processing, storage and characterization facilities on the LANL campus. You will be expected to develop design details, structural analysis calculations, specifications, and special inspections that incorporate applicable design requirements, including nuclear safety requirements, into new facility designs as well as modifications to existing facilities.

Additionally, architectural aspects of facility design and modifications will require your input on aspects of emergency egress and space planning in order to keep the occupants safe and productive.

** Nuclear Facilities Engineer 1 ($96,600 - $158,000)*
* Within this job, successful candidates will have the opportunity to support the Laboratory's mission by renovating rooms, modifying buildings and structures, and developing new structures within and around the plutonium facility.

Often within this role, architectural engineers will be evaluating the placement of specialized mechanical, electrical and material processing equipment and specifying its support and/or anchorage within the building.  Additionally, they will be expected to provide support to Operations and Maintenance groups within the facility to ensure architectural, structural and related building systems are performing as expected, as well as ensuring physical systems, structures and components, and the related documentation are in alignment with nuclear safety, building code, life safety code and other requirements.

** Nuclear Facilities Engineer 2 ($106,400 - $176,000)*
* In addition to the description above, engineers in this position will work alongside junior and senior engineers (e.g., fire protection, structural, mechanical, and electrical) and other peers in team settings to complete collaborative full-system design solutions through mentoring and leadership. At this level, familiarity with and prior use of building and life-safety codes, such as ICC IBC, IEBC and NFPA 101 is expected.

** What You Need*
* ** Minimum

Job Requirements:

*
* + Knowledge of new and existing non-reactor facility structural engineering systems and calculations, applications of engineering methods.

+ Knowledge of computer-aided engineering tools such as 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM, specifically Autodesk Revit).

+ Knowledge of engineering work, planning, construction, and control methods.

+ Knowledge of engineering maintenance techniques and construction methodologies.

+ Knowledge of basic architectural concepts of space planning, occupancy requirements, ergonomics.

** Additional

Job Requirements for Nuclear Facilities Engineer 2:*
* + Knowledge of industry, regulatory, or national, and Department of Energy codes and standards including IBC, AISC 360, ACI 318, ASCE 7, and DOE-STD 1020.

+ Knowledge of Engineering principles and procedures, design guides, appropriate standards, and administrative practices.

+ Knowledge of project and process engineering practices.

+ Advanced knowledge of and prior use of IBC, IEBC and NFPA 101.

** Training/

Certifications:

*
* ** Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification with commitment to obtain PE is highly desirable.
Professional Architect licensure may be beneficial depending on facility requirements.*
* ** Education/Experience at lower level:*
* ** Position requires a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Architectural Engineering is preferred) and a minimum of 2…
