Project Engineer III Description
Support development and implementation support for strategic risk-informed applications and initiatives across the nuclear fleet (e.g., Risk-Informed Completion Times, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and 10 CFR 50.69 categorizations including development of Alternative Treatments), including development of technical bases and supporting documentation
Specifically this will entail the following tasks, at a minimum:
Research and provide reference documentation to third parties
Coordinate reviews with site resources
Research and resolve system design and operations questions that arise from 50.69 categorization and/or alternative treatment activities.
Provide engineering/technical expertise to identify, analyze, and resolve complex issues; assess impacts on a system and fleet-wide basis; and communicate options and recommendations to stakeholders
Apply technical rigor and operating experience to produce risk-informed solutions that optimize safety, support regulatory compliance, and enhance operational decision-making
Plan and execute assigned work with appropriate estimating, scheduling, and status reporting; manage multiple workstreams where limited standardization exists and solutions require independent problem solving within area of expertise
Prepare and maintain thorough and accurate technical reports, correspondence, calculations/analyses, and supporting documentation; recommend process and standards enhancements as appropriate
Perform engineering studies and analyses with technical responsibility for coordinating inputs across stakeholders; support project execution by providing technical products, facilitating reviews, and documenting decisions
Ideally the contractor would already have effective working relationships to coordinate activities with engineering, operations, licensing, and other stakeholders
Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills suitable for technical and leadership audiences
Maintain accurate and detailed project records and files in accordance with Client requirements
Perform work in a professional manner consistent with Client expectations for contractor conduct, safety, and quality
Project Engineer III Working Conditions
Work is primarily performed in an office environment with periodic on-site work at a nuclear generating station as needed to support the scope
Hybrid and remote work arrangement may be available; on-site presence will be required for specific meetings, plant support activities, badging, and site access needs as directed by Client
