About The Position

ReNuke Services is seeking an experienced Nuclear Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Design Engineer III for a client’s nuclear site in York, South Carolina. This technical engineering leadership role will serve as the Responsible Engineer for digital engineering change projects at an operating nuclear facility. The engineer will lead development, coordination, review, and implementation of Engineering Change (EC) packages, taking ownership of assigned projects and coordinating with internal teams, plant personnel, and external vendors. The role is focused on engineering rather than drafting, manufacturing engineering, or sales engineering. The position supports digital I&C modifications involving control and data acquisition systems, distributed I&C platforms, Operator Aid Computers, plant networks, and security computer systems. The engineer will apply knowledge of real-time control systems, data acquisition, hardware, software, system interfaces, nuclear cybersecurity requirements, and applicable engineering standards. Project examples include turbine controls upgrades, refueling water storage tank heat trace controller upgrades, and Reactor Protection System Bypass modifications involving circuit cards and PLCs. The work arrangement is hybrid, with a minimum of two days onsite per week at the client facility in York, SC. A per diem of $140 per day, seven days per week, is available to eligible candidates. The posting identifies the assignment as three years.

Requirements

Approximately 10 years of relevant engineering experience; nuclear power industry experience is preferred.
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
Demonstrated experience developing and leading digital Engineering Change packages for nuclear facilities.
Strong background in nuclear I&C design engineering, digital control systems, and plant modifications.
Experience assuming technical responsibility for engineering projects and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering activities.
Familiarity with computer networks, operating systems, and digital instrumentation and control system architecture.
Knowledge of engineering design processes, technical documentation, and applicable nuclear industry requirements.
Ability to independently resolve complex technical issues and manage engineering assignments with minimal supervision.
Strong communication, technical coordination, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work onsite in York, SC, at least two days per week.
