Job Description Summary

The need for clean energy is greater than ever. At GE Vernova Hitachi (GEVH), we are helping address climate change by designing technology to power our future with reliable, affordable, carbon-free energy. We are a world leader in advanced reactor technology, fuel, and services. Join us as we build our legacy, boldly innovating to provide carbon-free power to the world.

We are a diverse and dedicated global team that values your unique identity, background, and experiences. We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where everyone feels empowered to do their best work because they feel accepted, respected, and that they belong. By embracing diverse teams and perspectives, we are better equipped to build a better world.

Discipline Engineers will be part of a multi-disciplinary technical team of dedicated engineers and scientists responsible for applying GEH's new plant technology to prospective sites, including comprehensive engineering input for new plant proposals, early works agreements, and new product offerings.

In this position, the I&C Systems Discipline Engineer will determine how standard plant design will meet specific application requirements, codes, and standards while incorporating new product modifications. You will focus on providing detailed statements of work, proposal write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development, and risk assessments to support site selection, permitting, and licensing milestones. Coordination with functional managers for departures from standard products will be necessary to produce cost, cycle, and risk estimates for new plant opportunities. You will also be responsible for delivering early works projects and new product developments on time and within budget, partnering with internal and external technical teams.

Responsibilities

• Report to the Plant Engineering Manager and Discipline Engineering Manager.
• Ensure proposals and early works packages align with our standard offerings, identifying technical departures and providing associated costs, cycles, and risks.
• Establish and maintain effective discipline-specific design interfaces documented in proposals and contracts.
• Build strong working relationships with internal engineering teams and external partners, customers, and regulatory agencies.
• Assist proposal and early works teams with estimates, schedules, and risk identification.
• Guide external engineering resources to ensure quality, flexibility, and improved cost positions.
• Support business development efforts by contributing to new opportunities.
• Protect GEH's intellectual property rights.
• Support initiatives for process improvement and compliance with nuclear safety standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field.
• Minimum 8 years of progressive engineering design or project leadership experience.
• At least 4 years of experience in the nuclear industry or large-scale power plant projects.
