About The Position

The Electrical Wiring Designer 2 will support project needs onsite at the Duane Arnold Energy Center. The position starts remotely and may transition to a hybrid arrangement, with three days in the office and two days working remotely. The designer works and may lead others in a project-team environment to design, modify, and upgrade new and existing power plant electrical systems. Under the direction of the Electrical Project Lead, the designer collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering and design teams to develop electrical diagrams and layouts, produce wiring drawings, and review and incorporate vendor drawings into the overall project design. The role may include accompanying and assisting with field walkdowns and data gathering at client facilities. The individual must be capable of obtaining unescorted access badging at a nuclear station. Sargent & Lundy’s Nuclear Power Group works on nuclear engineering, design, and licensing, including existing-plant life extensions and digital modernization, advanced reactor technology, small modular reactors, reactor restart projects, coal-to-nuclear conversion initiatives, and international nuclear new-build projects. The company describes its work as supporting clean, carbon-free energy and reducing emissions.
