Experience producing and interpreting electrical construction documents, drawings, and specifications.
Ability to support field/construction questions, field changes, and design interpretation.
U.S. Citizenship required.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q Clearance.
Ability to access plant/facility areas and walk around field locations as needed.
Ability to obtain required LANL access, including green strap and A-Level access.
Engineer 2: Minimum 3 years of relevant electrical engineering experience.
Engineer 3: Ideally 6+ years of relevant experience.
Working knowledge of industry, regulatory, and DOE/NNSA codes, standards, and criteria relevant to electrical engineering.
Knowledge of commonly applied codes and standards at DOE and DOD facilities, including NQA-1, IBC, NFPA, and NEC.
Prior experience facilitating, developing, reviewing, or supporting engineering design packages.
Familiarity with typical engineering deliverables, including construction documents.
Experience with computer-aided design/drafting software or markup tools.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a multi-discipline technical team.
