Accountabilities

• Develop and review engineering design change packages for installation, replacement, or upgrade of nuclear plant electrical systems.
• Perform and validate detailed electrical engineering calculations including AC/DC power studies, short circuit analysis, cable ampacity, voltage drop, breaker coordination, motor starting, and relay settings.
• Prepare technical specifications and support procurement processes for electrical equipment and materials.
• Participate in vendor evaluations, bid reviews, and technical clarification processes to ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Create and review scoping documents and conceptual designs, including constructability assessments.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams including mechanical, civil, structural, and I&C disciplines.
• Interface with clients, vendors, and plant personnel to support design reviews, field verification, and project execution.
• Support site installation, construction coordination, and field activities during project implementation.
• Manage technical scope, schedule, and deliverables while supporting project reporting, budgeting, and issue resolution.
• Track project progress, maintain documentation, and ensure timely completion of engineering deliverables.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET‑accredited program.
• 7+ years of experience in electrical system design within industrial or power generation projects, preferably nuclear.
• Strong expertise in low and medium voltage power systems including transformers, generators, motors, protective relays, and distribution systems.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations, design packages, and technical specifications.
• Strong understanding of electrical protection, coordination studies, and system analysis methods.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for client and internal stakeholder engagement.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage complex engineering deliverables.
• Ability to obtain and maintain unescorted access to nuclear power facilities (US requirement).
• Experience working in multidisciplinary project environments and coordinating with external vendors and clients.
• PE license or MSEE is a plus but not required.
• Familiarity with automation, scripting (e.g., Python/MATLAB), or AI‑assisted engineering workflows is an advantage.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary with potential annual performance bonus.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Life, accident, and disability insurance.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan and financial wellness programs.
• Paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and parental leave.
• Flexible work arrangements and work‑life balance support.
• Tuition assistance, scholarships, and professional licensure bonuses.
• Employee assistance and wellness programs.
• Back‑up childcare and family support benefits.
• Employee discounts, referral bonuses, and commuter benefits.
