+  Experience in preparing engineer ing   design calculations and drawings.

AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to solve problems using modern tools:

+  You are expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.

+  Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.

+  Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or…
