• Apply broad and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices in the preparation of complex engineering analyses
• Perform conventional and unique design and analysis within your discipline
• Perform all aspects of engineering operations work and coordinate inter-disciplinary activities
• Identify system integration activities within and across engineering disciplines
• Facilitate design package development and produce common engineering design document deliverables
• Provide construction and project support, and integrate construction and project activities
• Lead projects and supervise the work of others as assigned
• Utilize engineering technology to accomplish work, and identify and manage work process improvements to meet customer needs

Required Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university
• Minimum of 9 years of practical work experience sufficient to perform the responsibilities outlined above
• An advanced engineering or technical degree is highly desired
• May be subject to DOE Order 426.2, Personnel Selection, Training, and Qualification Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities

Top Skills & Requirements

• Expert knowledge of industry, regulatory, or DOE/NNSA complex codes, standards, and criteria pertinent to your engineering discipline
• Proven knowledge of applicable codes and standards in common use at DOE and DOD facilities (ASCE, ASME, NQA-1, IBC, IEBC, IEEE, NFPA, NEC, and similar)
• Extensive prior experience facilitating design package development
• Senior-level understanding of common engineering design document deliverables
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, and to lead projects and supervise the work of others

Security Clearance

This position requires the ability to receive and hold a DOE Q Clearance and to participate in the Human Reliability Program (HRP). To obtain a clearance, an individual must be at least 18 years of age; U.S. citizenship is required except in very limited circumstances.

Preferred Qualifications

• An advanced engineering or technical degree
• Experience in the use of common computer-aided drafting or mark-up software
• A DOE Q or L clearance currently held or held within the past 2 years
• Prior design engineering experience at a DOE or NNSA nuclear facility

Mandatory Requirements - Read Before Applying

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution required, no exceptions
• Minimum 9 years of practical, relevant engineering design experience required
• S. Citizenship required, must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q Clearance and enroll in the Human Reliability Program (HRP)
• Must be able to work 100% onsite at TA-55, including all facility areas
