This role is responsible for developing safe, compliant, and high-quality civil/structural design solutions for nuclear facilities, working closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure regulatory compliance and operational excellence.

• Perform civil and structural design and analysis for steel and concrete structures, including pipe and conduit supports, junction box supports, foundations, and equipment mounting systems.
• Apply engineering theories, principles, and industry best practices to develop compliant and constructible design solutions.
• Conduct seismic analysis and design for mounting components and equipment in accordance with nuclear and industrial standards.
• Interpret and apply applicable codes, standards, and regulations (ACI, ASCE, ASME, and nuclear-specific requirements).
• Prepare engineering calculations, design packages, drawings, and technical documentation with a high level of accuracy and rigor.
• Support configuration management and design change processes within a regulated nuclear environment.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and regulatory teams to deliver integrated design solutions.
• Identify design risks, propose improvements, and support field implementation and constructability reviews.
• Utilize engineering software tools (e.g., Excel, Mathcad, MATLAB, or similar) to perform calculations and analysis.

• Experience in the design of steel and concrete structures or components (pipe and conduit supports, junction box supports, foundations, etc.).
• Familiarity with industrial standards such as ACI, ASCE, and ASME codes, including lifting and rigging requirements.
• Experience with seismic analysis and design for equipment and component mounting systems.

• Strong collaboration and cross-discipline communication skills to work effectively with mechanical, electrical, and regulatory teams.
• Adaptability and problem-solving skills to manage evolving project requirements, legacy infrastructure constraints, and regulatory changes.
• High attention to detail and documentation rigor to meet nuclear safety, quality, and compliance standards.
• Initiative and ownership mindset with the ability to proactively identify issues and drive tasks to completion.
• Effective stakeholder engagement, including the ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences and support field teams.

• Experience with nuclear standard design processes and/or design change qualifications.
• Experience serving as a Responsible Engineer at a nuclear facility.
• Hands-on experience with engineering analysis software such as Mathcad, GTSTRUDL, STAAD, or ANSYS.
• Experience with Finite Element Modeling (FEM).

• Prior experience within the nuclear industry is strongly preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering (Required).
• 2–5 years of professional engineering experience in civil/structural design, preferably within regulated or industrial environments.
