Engineering Positions - Southern Nuclear

About the Role

We have openings for system engineers, program engineers, component engineers, design engineers, reactor engineers, control I&C or digital design engineers, and cyber security engineers/analysts across our fleet at the following locations:

• Plant Farley (near Dothan, AL)
• Plant Hatch (Baxley, GA)
• Plant Vogtle 1&2 (near Augusta, GA)
• Plant Vogtle 3&4 (near Augusta, GA)

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 include 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: Prepare and coordinate designs, calculations, drawings, cost estimates, and schedules for plant modifications and retrofits. Conduct field walk-downs for constructability and some construction coordination.
• Reactor Engineers: Ensure the reliability of assigned plant systems. Perform fuel inspections, specify fuel movement determinations, conduct physics testing, support operations in control rod movements, conduct surveillance testing of the reactor core, lead spent fuel audits, and perform reactor engineering calculations.
• Control I&C or Digital Design Engineers: Ensure configuration changes to the design of AP1000 digital systems are high quality, budgeted, planned, scheduled, and implemented cost-effectively. Prepare engineering calculations, perform engineering studies, develop cost estimates for design changes, review vendor correspondence, perform conceptual design studies, design changes, design bases maintenance, equivalency determinations, and provide long-range planning for assigned digital systems and components.
• Cyber Security Engineers/Analysts: Provide technical leadership, execution, guidance, and monitoring of the Cyber Security Program. Maintain programmatic aspects for site digital assets while interfacing with departments such as Site Security, Operations, Emergency Preparedness, and all engineering departments.

Engineers may also:

• Manage special projects
• Take key refueling outage assignments
• Have future developmental assignments in operations, maintenance, training, or quality assurance to prepare for supervisory and management positions
• Be required to participate in on-call duty engineer and emergency plan response requirements
