Work may involve vessels, tanks, piping and utility systems, material-handling equipment, remote tooling, facility deactivation and decommissioning (D&D), operations support, and related mechanical systems at Department of Energy sites. This position has a remote work arrangement with some travel and onsite requirements. The typical work schedule will be established based on project and site requirements. Starting compensation is commensurate with experience and may vary by candidate geographical location.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
At least five years of relevant engineering experience.
Experience supporting industrial, nuclear, government, energy, manufacturing, or other highly regulated facilities.
Working knowledge of mechanical design principles, engineering calculations, technical specifications, and applicable industry codes and standards.
Ability to prepare clear technical documentation and work effectively with multidisciplinary project teams.
Must be a U.S. citizen.
Successful drug screening.
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain required site access and a security or clearance badge.
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Energy security clearance if required by the assigned project; candidates are considered regardless of current clearance status.

Responsibilities

Develop, analyze, review, and document mechanical designs for new facilities, modifications, refurbishment, and system modernization, including vessels, tanks, piping, supports, material-handling equipment, lifting devices, remote tooling, and specialized mechanical equipment.
Prepare and review design criteria, engineering calculations, specifications, datasheets, statements of work, procurement packages, drawings, technical reports, and other design-basis documentation.
Evaluate existing equipment and facility conditions using design records, vendor data, operating information, field walkdowns, inspections, measurements, and system evaluations.
Provide mechanical engineering support for facility D&D, including equipment isolation, removal planning, temporary configurations, and coordination of utility and power disconnect requirements.
Review designs for safety, constructability, operability, maintainability, accessibility, inspection, testing, and compatibility with existing facility systems and operating requirements.
Coordinate mechanical requirements and interfaces with civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation and controls, process, HVAC, fire protection, construction, operations, and maintenance personnel.
Review vendor and supplier documentation for technical compliance and provide engineering support during procurement, fabrication, construction, installation, testing, commissioning, startup, and operational readiness.
Apply applicable DOE requirements, consensus codes and standards, site procedures, and project-specific requirements.
Participate in design reviews, technical meetings, risk evaluations, and field-condition resolution, and prepare technical recommendations.
