About The Position

This position can be filled as an Engineer II or one level higher as an Engineering III depending on experience. PMC is the Project Management and Construction group within Duke Energy, responsible for building new power generation assets. PMC Engineering provides leadership and oversight of contract engineering resources during all phases of Duke Energy’s major projects (development, design, execution, commissioning and closeout). As part of Duke Energy’s broader strategy to meet rising customer demand and decarbonize the grid, PMC is actively planning and building solar, bulk energy storage (batteries), simple cycle and combined cycle generating facilities. Additionally, PMC is developing projects for advanced nuclear, hydro pumped storage, carbon capture, LNG storage and potentially, offshore wind. This Civil Engineering position reports to the Manager, PMC Design Engineering. The Engineer II position is the intermediate level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer II position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with general supervision. An Engineer II is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer II effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is fairly complex and varied. The Engineer III position is the advanced level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees in the Engineer III position solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with limited supervision. An Engineer III is expected to develop advanced skills, and the ability to work with greater independence. An Engineer III effectively applies fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is progressively complex and varied.
