Job description

Summary

Client is currently preparing for two exciting major replacement projects, the reactor pressure vessel and the beryllium reflector, to sustain and enhance HFIR's operation performance. Both projects require comprehensive engineering, design, and analysis support to complement the integrated project team and ensure delivery of design milestones on schedule and within scope. The individual in this role will primarily support efforts to restore HFIR's operating power from 85 MW back to 100 MW as part of the PVR Project. This project is currently in the early stages of Critical Decision‑1 (CD‑1), as defined by DOE Order 413.3B. It is expected that the individual will collaborate closely with system engineers, designers, and multidisciplinary teams within RRD. This position will be assigned to the HFIR Upgrades Project Office and will interact with personnel at all levels within HFIR.

The project is seeking an experienced engineering professional with over 10 years of hands‑on experience at an operating nuclear reactor. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in I&C engineering design for both analog and digital systems, along with comprehensive knowledge of applicable codes and standards—including DOE Orders, ICC, and IEEE (including nuclear‑specific standards). Additionally, the candidate will provide project management for large integrated modifications, ensuring scope execution, budget tracking, and resource management to deliver projects successfully.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, I&C engineering, or related discipline
• Minimum of 6 years working in DOE nuclear facilities, naval nuclear, and/or commercial nuclear plants
• Comprehensive understanding of nuclear technology, including reactor safety basis, design, and construction
• Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuits and electric circuit theory, and AC power distribution concepts
• Proficiency with circuit simulation tools, AutoCAD, and printed circuit board design software
• Familiarity with HMI/PLC control systems software (preferred)
• Basic understanding of DOE Orders and Standards (e.g., DOE O 420.1C, DOE STD 1189, DOE STD‑1073‑2016)
• Experience with configuration management and engineering change control processes in a nuclear environment
