Job description

Our client, a leading nuclear energy company, is seeking a Plant Integration Engineer to join the Civil, Structural, and Architectural (CSA) Integration team supporting advanced nuclear reactor projects. This is “Fully Remote” long-term opportunity with benefits.

In this role, you will develop requirements and strategies for a first-of-a-kind nuclear facility design, review work products, and ensure seamless integration of civil, structural, and architectural design and construction efforts.

The ideal candidate will collaborate with engineers across multiple disciplines to effectively integrate structural input and requirements for nuclear plant design and analysis. Candidates should have extensive experience in civil/structural design for extreme and external hazards, project coordination, and performing owner’s acceptance reviews.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement structural design bases and strategies for plant design and licensing, including risk-informed, performance-based methodologies for extreme and external hazards.
• Create, maintain, and refine plant-level and system-level requirements and specification documents.
• Interface with multidisciplinary design teams to establish structural design criteria and performance requirements.
• Ensure licensing and code requirements are properly integrated into the design and aligned with regulatory strategies.
• Perform oversight reviews of civil, structural, and architectural work products for project acceptance.
• Provide subject matter expertise in civil, structural, and architectural integration for plant engineering decisions.
• Coordinate multi-system structural analyses, including soil-structure interaction (SSI), seismic modeling, external hazard fragility, and probabilistic risk assessments.
• Monitor and evaluate performance of design organizations, partners, contractors, and subcontractors to ensure compliance with technical requirements.
• Integrate plant design information into regulatory submittals supporting nuclear facility licensing.

Qualifications & Skills

• Education: M.S. in Civil Engineering or equivalent
• Experience: 10+ years in civil/structural design, analysis, and/or probabilistic risk assessment
• Experience with new nuclear power plant design projects
• Expertise in risk-informed, performance-based methodologies for external hazard design and analysis
• Familiarity with structural design under extreme external hazards such as seismic and aircraft impact
• Experience with commercial codes and standards: IBC, ACI 318, AISC 360, ASCE 7
• Experience with nuclear codes and standards: ACI 349, ACI 359, AISC N690, ASCE 4, ASCE 43
• Knowledge of NRC or DOE regulatory requirements
• Experience working within quality assurance frameworks such as ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001
