• Must complete and pass a pre‑employment drug screen, physical (if located at the construction site), and background check, including verification of employment and education.
• Must obtain a Department of Energy badge for access to the Hanford Site; even if teleworking, must be able to comply with security requirements to obtain a badge.
• Non‑U.S. citizens from countries identified by the Department of Energy as posing heightened security concerns are subject to additional security requirements that limit site access.
• Physical ability to conduct field inspections and participate in project walk-downs, including extensive walking, climbing ladders, using fall protection, walking on elevated platforms, navigating uneven surfaces, and maneuvering in confined spaces.

• Experience interpreting specifications, procedures, vendor drawings, installation instructions, and codes in a field construction environment.
• Understanding of piping P&, isometrics, and pipe support drawings.
• Scoping, preparation, execution, and restoration of mechanical systems and equipment (motors, cranes, hoists, rails).
• Collaboration with diverse construction disciplines, craftsmen, and oversight organizations.
• Experience with piping and…
