Mid-Level Power Uprate Engineer

Mid-Level Power Uprate Analysis Engineer – Enercon Services, Inc. Overview

ENERCON is seeking a Mid‑Level Power Uprate Analysis Engineer to join our growing team of nuclear professionals. In this role, you’ll contribute to the evaluation and implementation of power uprates at nuclear facilities, helping to increase reactor output safely and efficiently. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, gaining exposure to a wide range of technical challenges and project scopes. This is an exceptional opportunity for engineers who aspire to grow into advanced technical and leadership roles.

Power uprates span the entire plant and typically involve major upgrades such as replacing large pump motors, generators, high‑pressure turbines, and feedwater heaters. As such, this role provides a comprehensive understanding of plant systems and their interdependencies.

We’re committed to supporting your career development—whether you’re building toward technical specialization, project leadership, or future management roles, we provide the tools and mentorship to help you succeed. This role offers a unique opportunity to work alongside senior subject matter experts (SMEs), receive dedicated mentorship, and be groomed as a future power uprate specialist. Over time, these individuals will play a key role in training others and leading studies and follow‑up modifications whatever career path they choose.

We’re looking for engineers with a solid foundation in nuclear engineering and a desire to grow into a subject matter expert. This position offers flexibility with opportunities in the following locations:

• Birmingham, AL
• San Luis Obispo, CA
• Palm Beach Gardens, FL
• Kennesaw, GA
• Naperville, IL
• Overland Park, KS
• Baton Rouge, LA
• King of Prussia, PA
• Chattanooga, TN
• Fort Worth, TX

• Strategic Impact:
  Power uprates are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy, driven by recently passed legislation aimed at accelerating clean energy deployment. This role places you at the center of that transformation.
• Career Springboard:
  With the U.S. targeting a fourfold increase in nuclear capacity—from ~100 GW today to 400 GW by 2050—power uprates are anticipated to contribute approximately 8 GW. This role positions you to transition seamlessly into future projects, giving you a front‑row seat to the next generation of nuclear development.
• Mentorship & Growth:
  Work alongside senior SMEs who will provide hands‑on mentorship and help you develop into a future power uprate specialist.
• Leadership Pathways:
  This role is designed to groom engineers for leadership—whether you choose to specialize technically, lead teams, or guide future uprate studies and modifications.
• Collaborative Culture:
  Join a team that values innovation, knowledge‑sharing, and continuous improvement.
• Design Margin Evaluation:
  Conduct detailed engineering studies to assess available design margins across nuclear plant systems, including reactor core, steam generators, feedwater systems, and electrical infrastructure.
• System Impact Analysis:
  Evaluate the impact of increased power levels on plant systems, components, and structures. Identify potential bottlenecks or limitations and propose engineering solutions.
• Modification Identification & Scoping:
  Determine necessary plant modifications to accommodate the new power level, including mechanical, electrical, and I&C changes. Develop scopes of work and support cost‑benefit analyses.
• Cross‑Disciplinary Coordination:
  Work closely with design engineering, licensing, operations, and maintenance teams to ensure alignment on uprate strategy and implementation.
• Documentation & Reporting:
  Prepare technical reports, design change packages, and presentations for internal stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Maintain accurate records of evaluations and decisions.
• Vendor & Contractor Interface:
  Support engagement with external vendors and contractors for specialized studies, equipment upgrades, and implementation planning.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical, Civil, or related discipline) from an ABET‑accredited university.
• Generally 3+ years of experience performing nuclear power design…
