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 offers 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. The role involves creating drawings 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. Interfacing with vendors and construction contractors may involve explaining drawings to make appropriate design adjustments. This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with the expectation of spending three days a week in the office and two days remotely. A generous relocation package is offered depending on location.
