Field Engineering Work Package Planner

TerraPower LLC.•Kemmerer, WY

5d•$82,103 - $106,627•Onsite

About The Position

TerraPower is seeking a Field Engineering Work Package Planner to plan, assemble, issue, and close out construction work packages (CWPs) for QL-3 and commercial field construction work on the Natrium Demonstration Project, an advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor under construction near Kemmerer, Wyoming. The Planner owns each work package from quality level screening through closeout and maintains the CWP Status Log, the controlling record of package status. The role works closely with the Construction Manager, Field Engineer, Constructors, Site Design Engineering, Project Controls, and Records Management to ensure crews start work only with a complete, correctly scoped package containing current document revisions. This is an onsite position reporting to the Engineering Integration Manager. The Planner screens proposed package scope for quality level; assembles CWPs from required drawings, specifications, approvals, safety documents, work plans, and records; tracks open items and release readiness; briefs Constructors; monitors revisions; and supports package acceptance and closeout. The role also coordinates package sequencing and document needs with Project Controls and engineering teams, maintains package status in project tools and controlled records systems, and escalates constraints. The Planner must route design questions and changes through the appropriate formal processes, avoid giving design direction, follow site safety requirements, and observe limits on signing CWP approval blocks.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline from an ABET-accredited institution, or equivalent experience.
At least 2 years of experience in field engineering, construction engineering, or construction support on power generation, nuclear, or large industrial projects.
Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and isometrics.
Familiarity with 3D model viewing tools and construction document control systems.
Proficiency in MS Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
Ability to meet site access requirements, including required training and screening.
Strong oral and written communication skills and attention to detail.
High degree of trust and integrity, open communication, respect, and a desire to foster teamwork.
Must meet applicable ANSI/ANS 3.1 qualification requirements, including minimum education and experience criteria and relevant nuclear industry experience where required; information will be verified during hiring.
Must provide information needed for U.S. Government export-control review; export authorization may be required for some applicants.

Nice To Haves

Experience with nuclear quality requirements, including NQA-1 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.
Experience with Primavera P6.
OSHA 10 or 30 certification.

Responsibilities

Screen proposed package scope for quality level; route QL-1/QL-2 work or work that could affect QL-1/QL-2 items to the appropriate procedure, and obtain written quality-level confirmation from Site Design Engineering when it is not shown on IFC documents.
Assemble each CWP with required current-revision IFC drawings and specifications, answered RFIs, approved Field Changes and submittals, scope statement and work-area markup, sequence, safety documents, completion package list, and Work Record forms.
Coordinate Field Engineer inputs, including the inspection and test plan, work steps and sketches, materials, and test equipment.
Maintain the release readiness checklist, record open RFIs, constraints, and prerequisites, and follow them through resolution so packages are ready for Construction Manager release.
Sign as preparer when package contents are complete; brief the Constructor on scope and limits, Hold Points, safety requirements, and the Completion Package; and file released CWPs through the approved records process.
Check released CWPs against current ATOM revisions at least weekly; notify the Constructor and Field Engineer to hold affected work when a document or Field Change affects a package; and prepare and issue CWP revisions.
Review Completion Packages, support field walkdowns and acceptance, confirm Punch List and record closure, and close out and file completed CWPs.
Coordinate package sequence and schedule with Project Controls; identify documents needed for upcoming packages; and communicate need-by dates to Site Design Engineering and the Engineering Integration team.
Track package development status and readiness in project work package tools such as Confluence and Jira, maintain controlled records in ATOM and EDMS, maintain open-item logs, and raise emerging constraints to the Construction Manager, Field Engineer, and Engineering Integration Manager.
Route technical design questions through the RFI process and changes to IFC content through the Field Change process; provide no design direction; and do not sign more than one of the Planner, Field Engineer, and Construction Manager blocks on the same CWP.
Follow site safety requirements and promptly report unsafe conditions.
