P3: $85,700 - $120,000; P4: $99,400 - $144,000; P5: $124,000 - $180,000

This is the range within which SRNS expects the majority of qualified candidates would enter this role if offered. Actual offers may be more or less than the amounts shown depending on candidate's qualifications, experience, internal equity, and other factors.

Engineering roles perform engineering work in operations, production, construction, or maintenance environments. They may design and scale up manufacturing processes, instruments and equipment and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They may plan, design, and estimate time and cost and oversee construction and maintenance of structures, facilities, systems, and components. They analyze and develop solutions to engineering problems related to manufacturing equipment and systems or the causes of component failures.

They develop and apply engineering standards and procedures and provide advice on issues within the engineering field.

Electrical/Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) engineers provide engineering support for electrical and/or instrumentation systems in an operating nuclear materials processing plant or as part of the broader site infrastructure. Electrical/I&C engineers identify system concepts and determine system functional and technical requirements, develop, and analyze equipment performance, monitor system performance, troubleshoot, and resolve problems and ensure operation within technical, regulatory and safety basis requirements.

They propose and develop process/system improvements including equipment upgrades, and plant modifications.

• Knowledge of distribution systems with voltages ranging from 120V to 13.8kV, transformers and switch gear.
• Knowledge of electrical National Codes and Standards such as NFPA 70/70E and IEEE.
• Electrical system protection, coordination curves, load studies, and arc flash analysis.
• Hands‑on electrical design validation and verification experience.
• Low and medium voltage experience developing system repair designs, system calibration, and installation plans.
• Experience in low to medium voltage industrial power systems with voltage of 480V through 13.8kV.
• Experience providing oversight, design, planning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of low and medium voltage systems infrastructure such as distribution cables, control systems, protective relaying, transformers, switch gear, substations, breakers, motor control centers, alarms, and overall system coordination.
• Experience performing modeling and simulation for power systems and short circuit analysis using simulation software platforms (e.g., ETAP).
• Others include lighting design, uninterruptible power systems, vessel heaters and heat trace, lockout/tagout, relay control systems, variable speed drives, diesel generators and automatic transfer switches, harmonics, and their effects on electrical systems.

• P3: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering plus at least five years of experience (YOE) in a relevant role, OR Master's degree in relevant field plus at least two years of experience (YOE), OR…
