Electrical Design Engineer III-Nuclear

Electrical Design Engineer III – Nuclear

Experience Level: Senior | 10+ Years
Per Diem: Available for qualified candidates

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Design Engineer III to support complex electrical engineering and design activities within a nuclear power environment.

This position is intended for an engineer who can solve complex technical problems with limited supervision, work with a high degree of independence, and effectively apply established engineering concepts, procedures, and nuclear design standards.

The ideal candidate will have a strong electrical power and equipment design background, specifically involving breakers, transformers, electrical buses, batteries, and switchgear, along with previous nuclear design experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform complex electrical engineering and design assignments with limited supervision.
• Develop, review, and evaluate electrical designs and engineering documentation for nuclear facilities.
• Apply established nuclear design processes, procedures, and standards.
• Support electrical systems and equipment including:
  • Circuit breakers
  • Transformers
  • Electrical buses
  • Batteries and DC systems
  • Switchgear
• Perform engineering evaluations, calculations, and technical analyses.
• Review electrical drawings, specifications, design packages, and technical documentation.
• Identify and resolve complex electrical design and equipment issues.
• Ensure engineering work complies with applicable nuclear requirements, procedures, and quality standards.
• Coordinate with engineering, operations, maintenance, and project stakeholders as needed.
• Manage increasingly complex and varied assignments with a high degree of independence.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required.
• 10+ years of electrical engineering discipline experience.
• Previous nuclear design experience required.
• Experience and/or qualification working within a nuclear-standard design process.
• Strong electrical equipment background involving breakers, transformers, electrical buses, batteries, and switchgear.
• Ability to independently handle complex electrical engineering and design assignments.
• Strong technical problem-solving, analytical, documentation, and communication skills.

Important Experience Requirement

This position requires an electrical power/equipment background. Candidates whose experience is primarily Instrumentation & Controls (I&C), computer systems, or software without the required electrical equipment design experience would not be the intended fit.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous Duke Energy and/or Progress Energy experience.
• Extensive nuclear power plant electrical design experience.
• Familiarity with nuclear engineering procedures, design controls, and applicable industry standards.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced Nuclear Electrical Design Engineer with a BSEE, 10+ years of electrical discipline experience, prior nuclear design experience, and demonstrated knowledge of nuclear-standard design processes.

They should have strong hands-on engineering knowledge of breakers, transformers, electrical buses, batteries, and switchgear and be capable of independently handling complex nuclear electrical design assignments.

Per diem may be available for candidates who qualify.
