About The Position

The Electrical Designer 2 will work in Sargent & Lundy’s Government Services Group, which specializes in design for Department of Energy facilities, including new and retrofit designs, special-purpose glove boxes and their controls and auxiliary systems, precision furnaces, hot cells, custom pressure vessels, and other specialized equipment.

As part of a multidisciplinary project team, the designer will prepare technical drawings from design input, using 2D and 3D computer-aided design tools.
