About The Position

ReNuke Services is seeking a Nuclear Civil Design Engineer III and subject matter expert for a client site in York, South Carolina. The role involves civil and structural engineering for nuclear plant systems, including design, analysis, modification, and maintenance. The engineer may work with reinforced concrete and masonry structures, structural steel, equipment foundations, seismic evaluations, underground structures, anchorage systems, structural supports, and site civil infrastructure.

The position requires applying civil and structural engineering principles alongside configuration management, equipment qualification, design-basis requirements, and relevant industry codes and standards. Work may include engineering evaluations and calculations, structural analyses, field walkdowns, procurement engineering support, and modification design. The engineer will read and interpret plant drawings and technical documents, and produce or review engineering change basis documents, evaluations, calculations, procurement specifications, design inputs, structural analysis reports, equipment anchor and seismic evaluations, plant drawings, bills of materials, and supporting design and licensing documentation. The engineer is expected to work on assigned projects with minimal supervision and contribute as a self-motivated, flexible, accountable team member.
