Electrical Engineer; Early Career

Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure (H2C) leads the nation's largest and most complex radioactive waste cleanup effort. Every day, our teams work to safely remove, treat, and dispose of 56 million gallons of legacy tank waste at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington.

When you join H2C, you become part of a team dedicated to creating "The Solution Today for a Better Tomorrow." Guided by our Vision, Mission, Values, and Behaviors, we work together with integrity, innovation, and accountability. We empower our workforce, encourage continuous improvement, and celebrate achievements as we make measurable progress toward tank waste cleanup and long term site closure. At H2C, your work has a meaningful impact—today and for future generations.

H2C seeks an Electrical Engineer to support the Design Engineering organization, who provides in-house design engineering support to Production Operations, Waste Retrievals, Tank Farm Projects and Facilities Maintenance. Design Engineering is responsible for oversight of design execution, change control and drawing configuration control for the Hanford Tank Farms. Design Engineering is also responsible for Procurement Engineering and supports implementation of the Commercial Grade Dedication (CGD) process.

The Electrical Engineer in the Design Engineering organization will:

• Provide electrical engineering designs, calculations, specifications and analyses within project budget and schedule.
• Produce a wide spectrum of industrial power distribution designs involving power panels, switchboards, MCCs, programmable logic controllers, motor circuits, variable frequency drives, UPS units, transfer switches, metering equipment, transformers, safety disconnects, overcurrent protection, grounding, and lighting systems.
• Develop instrumentation and controls wiring documents based on P& for fabrication and installation of industrial control panels with process automation monitoring & control devices, and with various NEC wiring methods.
• Originate and check equipment and wiring design deliverables to meet detailed customer expectations.
• Communicate with internal and external organizations to produce high quality documents.
• Apply diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices to solve electrical problems.
• Provide engineering field support during installation of electrical equipment.
• Interface with equipment suppliers and leverage vendor technical expertise in electrical designs.
  
  Represent the electrical design group on multi-discipline project teams and in client conferences to effectively resolve electrical issues.
• Understand and apply common IEEE, NFPA and NEMA industrial consensus standards to electrical designs.
• Interface cohesively with mechanical, structural, civil and process engineers to make sound decisions that facilitate optimum overall solutions.
• Problem-solving for complex technical challenges with adaptations of engineering alternatives.
• Ability to execute tasks with minimal oversight
• Function as design team lead on project or departmental task assignments.
