Electrical Engineer- Nuclear I, II, or III

Electrical Engineer – New Nuclear (Levels I, II & III)

A major clean-energy organization is adding an Electrical Engineer at Level I, II, or III to support the development, licensing, design review, and construction planning of advanced nuclear generation. This engineer will provide owner-side technical oversight and ensure electrical work is technically sound, code compliant, traceable to the design basis, and ready for successful execution.

The best fit brings electrical engineering experience in commercial nuclear power, advanced reactors, power generation, or another highly regulated large-capital environment. Strong candidates understand plant power distribution, design calculations, equipment specifications, protection and control, and complex engineering reviews.
