About The Position
As a Nuclear Engineer at Booz Allen, you will apply nuclear engineering expertise to help the Department of War make resilient-energy infrastructure decisions. You will review reactor designs, mechanical and electrical drawings, and supporting systems to assess safe and feasible deployment. The role includes detailed engineering analyses, evaluating site viability, guiding customers through licensing and permitting pathways, and supporting sites across the nuclear lifecycle from construction through decommissioning. You will specialize in reactor systems, electrical integration, site viability, and regulatory pathways, translating complex technical findings into clear recommendations for leaders and interdisciplinary teams. The work supports secure energy systems for national security and the warfighter. Travel to CONUS and OCONUS locations may be required up to 25% of the time. Applicants must be able to obtain a Secret clearance.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience with the design and operation of nuclear reactors, steam systems, and associated electrical interconnections, such as reactor vessels, control rods, turbine generators, transformers, and protection equipment.
- Experience assessing nuclear site viability, including utility coordination, land access constraints, and environmental clearance requirements.
- Knowledge of nuclear lifecycle costs, including construction, commissioning, operations and maintenance, and decommissioning.
- Knowledge of Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and state and federal energy regulations, including licensing and permitting processes.
