Senior Engineer, Power Plant Operational Design

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine the plant’s detailed operational strategy, including operating modes, envelopes and key state points.
• Translate operational goals into actionable system- and component-level requirements for Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs).
• Define anticipated and planned plant transients and collaborate with simulation teams to model and assess system responses and design adequacy.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional design teams to inform and guide plant-level decisions, ensuring operational requirements and control strategies are incorporated.
• Support design optimization efforts aimed at enhancing plant performance, reliability and availability while mitigating technical risks.
• Support development of design for operations workflows to support delivery of the plant from concept to detailed design included plant commissioning.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• BS or MS Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical or other related engineering discipline with 6+ years of relevant experience.
• 4+ years of experience in either plant design and/or plant performance analysis.
• Fundamental understanding of power or industrial process plant operation and equipment and the interrelationships between them.
• Plant Performance - Proficient knowledge in power plant steady state performance.
• Plant Dynamics – Proficient knowledge in power plant maneuvering, control of closed-loop heat transport systems, transient thermodynamics and T-H.
• Demonstrated experience applying understanding of plant operations in the development of plant design configuration.
• Demonstrated ability of applying engineering knowledge to deliver results while being able to thrive in an environment with evolving requirements.
• Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to clearly document operational philosophies, assumptions and technical decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team on problems as well as lead/coordinate the timely resolution of issues in cross functional teams.
