Build the Future of Nuclear Energy

Join Duke Energy's Instrumentation & Control Design Engineering team at Oconee Nuclear Station and help modernize a three-unit nuclear generating facility that provides safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity to the Carolinas. In this role, you will apply established engineering experience to develop and deliver solutions that support continued operation into the 2050s, ranging from targeted component upgrades to major digital control-system replacements.

You will work with multidisciplinary partners across Operations, Maintenance, Projects, Licensing, Cybersecurity, vendors, and external design organizations. The role requires advanced technical judgment and ownership of increasingly complex engineering work from concept through installation, testing, turnover, and closeout. Senior-level candidates will manage non-routine work with very minimal supervision and provide technical guidance and knowledge transfer to others.

Position Overview

Nuclear Engineer III is the advancing level of the Nuclear Engineering classification hierarchy. Engineers at this level solve problems of increasing scope and complexity with limited supervision, apply engineering concepts and procedures to progressively complex and varied work, and demonstrate increasing ability to independently manage project schedules and interfaces

Senior Nuclear Engineer is the senior level of the Nuclear Engineering classification hierarchy. Engineers at this level manage engineering work with very minimal supervision, independently complete non-routine assignments, and receive guidance primarily for unusual or highly complex projects or issues. They are fully competent in applicable concepts and procedures, identify problems, develop solutions, and take action to resolve them

At either level, you will develop and support plant modifications involving instrumentation and controls, AC and DC power and control systems, digital hardware, software-based applications, plant computer interfaces, control circuits, and cybersecurity-related design requirements

The selected individual will complete the required Responsible Engineer training and qualification program and, once qualified, serve as the primary technical owner for assigned modifications through design, planning, installation, testing, turnover, and closeout. Prior nuclear modification-engineer qualifications and demonstrated products may be considered
