Civil Engineer, Design (NPG) B - 518741

Organization: Nuclear Power Group, Department: SQN Fleet Civil

Location: Soddy Daisy, TN

Relocation benefits are not offered for this position.

About the Role

The ideal candidate would have nuclear industry experience; other experience such as 3-5 years of equivalent combinations of related industry experience, specialized technical expertise, or demonstrated performance in comparable regulatory, engineering, or operational roles may be considered in place of nuclear utility experience.

Plans, schedules, conducts, or coordinates detailed phases of civil engineering work in a part of a major project or in a total project of moderate scope. Performs work which involves conventional civil engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials, and difficult coordination requirements. Requires broad knowledge of precedents in the specialty area and good knowledge of related practices.

As a fully competent civil engineer, plans and conducts work requiring judgment in independent evaluation, selection, and substantial adaptation and modification of standard techniques, procedures, and criteria. Devises new approaches to problems encountered. Provides procurement, field engineering including walk-downs, modification/maintenance, and testing support.

Responsibilities

• Perform civil engineering tasks for projects of moderate scope, including structural steel design, cable tray system design, structural concrete design, pipe support design, seismic analysis, and HVAC support design.
• Coordinate and supervise the work of multidiscipline engineers, drafters, technicians, and others assisting in specific assignments.
• Prepare design change packages and ensure compliance with design basis, geotechnical codes, and standards.
• Conduct root cause analysis and apply knowledge of conduit systems design and procurement/design specifications.
• Provide field engineering support, including walk-downs and physical installation oversight.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related engineering field from an accredited curriculum, plus related continuing education.
• Licensed Professional Engineer is desirable; membership in professional and technical societies is also desirable.
• Demonstrated proficiency in civil engineering, evidenced by completion of an Engineering Graduate Progression Plan or equivalent post-graduate education and experience (at least 2 years of related experience and 1 year of nuclear power plant experience).
• Ability to obtain and maintain unescorted nuclear plant access and S-3 and S-4 medical qualifications when applicable.
• Willingness and ability to assume “on-call” rotational assignments, including 24/7 availability.
• Willingness and medical ability to work rotating shifts and maximum overtime during peak periods.
• Ability and willingness to travel to plant locations and accept temporary field assignments as required.
