1.Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Perry, Ohio

2.Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Oak Harbor, Ohio

3.Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, Shipping port, Pennsylvania

12 Months - Contract

1. EDUCATION

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET/EAC-accredited program.

EIT certification is preferred.

PE registration will be considered when determining level and external title.

2. LEVEL REQUIREMENTS

Engineer II:

Minimum two years of professional mechanical design engineering experience.

Performs defined assignments under technical direction.

Prepares assigned portions of calculations, evaluations, drawings, specifications, and design packages.

Final level will be based on education, licensure, direct mechanical design experience, technical responsibility, independence, and ownership of engineering deliverables. Zachry Nuclear Engineering will determine the final level and external title following resume review and interview.

3. QUALIFYING MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE

Candidates must have professional mechanical design engineering experience that includes one or more of the following:

Mechanical calculations, technical evaluations, drawings, specifications, or design criteria

Piping, valves, pumps, heat exchangers, HVAC, fluid systems, or plant mechanical equipment

Equipment sizing, pressure-drop, heat-transfer, pipe-stress, or system-performance analysis

Design changes, modification packages, or engineering-change packages

Field walkdowns, testing, installation, or implementation support

Experience limited to tech work, maintenance, construction, fabrication, installation, operations, project management, or commissioning does not qualify unless the candidate also performed professional mechanical design engineering.

4. NUCLEAR EXPERIENCE

Commercial nuclear experience is strongly preferred, particularly at an operating nuclear power plant.

Preferred experience includes plant modifications, engineering changes, Standard Design Process activities, field walkdowns, implementation, or outage support.

Candidates without commercial nuclear experience must have directly transferable mechanical design and modification experience in power generation, DOE, chemical, petrochemical, or another regulated industrial facility.

5. WORK AUTHORIZATION AND NUCLEAR ACCESS

Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future employment sponsorship.

Must be able to obtain and maintain required nuclear-site access, including unescorted access when applicable.

Must complete required background screening, drug screening, onboarding, training, and site-access activities.

Final access authorization is determined by the applicable nuclear facility.

Some assignments may involve access to information or technology controlled under U.S. export-control laws. Eligibility will be considered when applicable.
