Electrical Physical/Wiring Designer 1 - Nuclear Power
About The Position
Sargent & Lundy’s Nuclear Group is growing and is currently working on projects such as Advanced Reactor designs, Renewables, and Small Modular Reactors, while continuing to support existing nuclear clients throughout the country. This position will offer the opportunity to utilize and expand drafting skills while working in a multi-disciplined team environment with other designers and/or engineers in the preparation of design drawings based on design input. If required, there will be an opportunity to apply computer-aided drafting skills while receiving hands-on training in 3D design software environments, such as AutoCAD 3D and/or MicroStation. Drawings will be created to scale showing the relation of proposed installations to existing facilities and exact specifications and dimensions. Experience performing walkdowns in operating nuclear plants is beneficial, as you may be required to accompany and assist other designers on walkdowns at operating client facilities to gather information for your design project. While interfacing with vendors and construction contractors, there may be opportunities to explain drawings so appropriate design adjustments can be made.
