About The Team

The Nuclear Operations group at Westinghouse focuses on all operations topics, supporting worldwide utilities. Our team includes Senior Reactor Operators, Reactor Engineers, Procedure Writers and Test Engineers. Many team members joined as qualified reactor operators or earned an SRO certification with us. Our experience as reactor operators is at the core of our efforts to define and improve how nuclear power plants are operated. We are developing operating procedures for control room operators in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions, and commissioning test procedures for bringing new plants from construction to full power operation. Nuclear Operations leads the delivery of modern nuclear instrumentation technologies, such as the Vanadium Fixed Incore Instrumentation System. We offer reactor engineering services including startup physics testing, nuclear instrumentation diagnostics, fuel transfer and cask loading optimization, and more. Our team supports commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry, and we continually seek the next creative idea to improve operating plants.

About The Role

As a SRO Principal Engineer you will work on the new generation of reactors like the AP300 SMR and eVinci microreactor, the AP1000 and the operating fleet from all over the world. Building your skills with actual operating plant experience in the field, combined with new plant development, will accelerate your career in the nuclear industry. You will report to the Sr. Manager, Engineering and be located at Madrid or Vila-Seca, with a hybrid work schedule.

Main Responsibilities

• You will acquire knowledge about writing operating procedures to define how control room operators run plants in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions.
• You will develop test procedures supporting commissioning of new plants (like the AP1000) to demonstrate the functionality of components and systems from preop testing through startup phases.
• You will validate scenarios in control room simulators before they are used to train reactor operators and implemented in plants worldwide.
• You will work with professionals in the industry who will teach you the technical and professional aspects of working as an operations expert in the nuclear industry.
• Your scope will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), providing learning and development opportunities in both.
• As an author of operating and test procedures, you may support the commissioning of new plants worldwide.

Qualifications

• Reactor Operator (RO) or Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) or qualified SRO instructor.
• 10+ years of experience.
