Engineering Positions - Southern Nuclear

About the role

We have openings for system engineers, program engineers, component engineers and design engineers across our fleet: Plant Farley (near Dothan, AL), Plant Hatch (Baxley, GA), Plant Vogtle 1&2 (near Augusta, GA) and Plant Vogtle 3&4 (near Augusta, GA). There are opportunities at all sites. Engineers at Southern Nuclear may have opportunities to manage special projects. Engineers typically take key refueling outage assignments. Future developmental assignments in operations, maintenance, training, or quality assurance often prepare engineers for supervisory and management positions. Engineering assignments typically include on-call duty engineer and emergency plan response requirements.

Responsibilities

• System engineers: Ensure the reliability of assigned plant systems. Solve system and component problems, provide direct technical support for operation and maintenance, and plan long-term performance improvements.
• Program and component engineers: Direct implementation of assigned programs and work processes. Typical assignments are fire protection, Equipment Qualification, in-service inspection, in-service testing, NRC Maintenance Rule compliance, MOV/AOV/Heat Exchanger/Check valve component programs, cable monitoring, instrument & controls, flow accelerated corrosion, and/or snubber testing.
• Design engineers: Duties include preparation/coordination of designs, calculations, drawings, cost estimates and schedules for plant modifications and retrofits. Work involves field walk downs for constructability and some construction coordination.
• Reactor engineers: Ensure the reliability of assigned plant systems.
