Duke Energy • Huntersville, NC

189d

About The Position

This position is for an experienced Electrical Engineer within the plant engineering Design Support Group. The Duke Energy McGuire Nuclear Station Design Support Engineering (DSE) group is responsible for protecting the design basis for the station. DSE is responsible for the preparation and development for engineering solutions that include risk reduction, equipment obsolescence, and plant modernization. In addition, DSE provides support to routine assessments that ensure McGuire is designed and operated in accordance with governing codes and standards. The McGuire DSE team works closely with systems engineering, operations and maintenance to ensure optimal engineering solutions are developed to meet plant needs. The team collaborates with other design engineering staff and station management to ensure high quality design solutions are delivered consistently with established nuclear processes and standards. This is the advancing level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees at this level solve more complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with limited supervision. Incumbents are expected to develop advanced skills and the ability to work with even greater independence. They effectively apply fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is progressively complex and varied. This is the career/senior level of the Engineering classification hierarchy. Employees at this level manage work in engineering areas of specialization, with minimal supervision. Incumbents are expected to develop advanced skills and to have the ability to work independently, with guidance limited to unusual or complex projects or issues. They are fully competent in the use of concepts and procedures. They identify problems, develop solutions and take actions to resolve.
