Field Analyst, Construction​/Piping

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Field Analyst, Construction / Piping to join our team supporting the Uranium Processing Facility
! This position is full-time and will be based out of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

• Assist UPF’s Piping Insulation STR & project group – focusing on the intersection of physical construction progress and digital data integrity.
• Act as a "data bridge" between field crews installing piping and insulation and the project management systems used to track cost, schedule, and quality.
• Provide detail‑oriented data analysis, including data extraction and manipulation.
• Utilize a general knowledge of construction engineering experience in any discipline.
• Physically walkdown the site to verify that the linear footage of piping insulation (such as Aerogel) reported as "complete" in the system matches the actual field installation.
• Use Material Management Systems (like Bechtel's proprietary tools or SAP) to track specialized insulation materials from the warehouse to the specific isometric drawing location in the field.
• Identify "blockers" by analyzing data, like spotting that insulation cannot proceed because the required hydrostatic testing for a pipe segment hasn't been logged in the Quality Assurance (QA) system.
• Compare design documents (P&IDs/Isometrics) against current inventory to forecast shortages of high‑value items before they impact the schedule.
• Assist in developing and closing out work packages by ensuring all technical data, inspection reports, and material certifications are digitally attached and compliant with Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1) standards.

• Education & Years of Experience – Bachelor’s Degree and 3+ years of relevant experience or 9+ years of relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Citizenship – To be considered, you must be a United States (U.S.) citizen due to the federal nature of the work.
• Clearance – To be considered, you must be able to obtain and maintain a government issued clearance, if needed.
• Must have Technical Proficiency in Excel and database software for various construction platforms.
• Must have experience supporting data analytics as it relates to field and construction coordination.
• Must have experience with construction records and systems.
• Must be a self‑starter, highly motivated, requiring little supervision, and able to work well in a team environment.
• Must have the ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.

• Experience with Aerogel Insulation, any Piping Insulation, or Piping experience is highly preferred, but not required.
• Experience with Material Management Systems is highly preferred but not required.
