About The Position

The I&C Engineer will work on location at the South Texas nuclear plant in Wadsworth, Texas, supporting the Unit Auxiliary Transformer Replacement Projects for Units 1 and 2. The engineer will work with a team to prepare the instrumentation and controls portion of engineering change packages for replacing unit auxiliary transformers and associated monitoring and protection equipment. This is a three-year contract position and reports to the site Manager. The work includes reviewing manufacturer design drawings; defining required I/O signals, topology, and configuration in coordination with Operations, System Engineering, and the Electrical Responsible Engineer; communicating device configuration and topology requirements to the manufacturer; and developing annunciator, alarm, and trip-logic changes. The engineer will also develop engineering changes and document change notices, with design inputs spanning transformer instrumentation, alarms and trip logic, ICS interfaces, network infrastructure, cybersecurity, human factors, monitoring software, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance requirements. Candidates need nuclear power plant I&C engineering experience, technical specification and engineering-writing skills, and an engineering bachelor's degree. The position requires passing a pre-employment nuclear background check, drug screen, and fitness-for-duty assessment.
