About The Position

Amentum is seeking a Plant Designer to support its Oak Ridge, Tennessee office. The role participates in the design process, including developing design calculations using standard and advanced analysis techniques such as FEA software, design drawings, and construction specifications for steel, concrete, and masonry structures. The position focuses on plant design and piping systems and offers opportunities to develop career skills while supporting infrastructure projects. The designer develops piping systems and equipment layouts using SmartPlant 3D or similar BIM design tools, prepares equipment arrangement deliverables, supports resolution of interferences, and ensures model integration with other BIM tools such as Intelligent Schematics. The role collaborates with Piping Engineering on pipe specifications and stress-analysis support locations, Structural Engineering on pipe-support designs, and Civil Engineering on underground interface connections. It also manages model outputs for material lists and reports and supports the Plant Design and Piping Team’s schedules and budgets. The position may be performed in the office or remotely, with a strong preference for work from Amentum’s Oak Ridge office. Employees who live within 50 miles of Oak Ridge are expected to work there. Employees living farther away may work remotely but must travel to the Oak Ridge office quarterly and maintain a company-approved secure workspace in the United States that meets client security requirements. The role requires U.S. citizenship and a valid driver’s license. It involves occasional field travel and work near construction equipment and potentially hazardous machinery, as well as possible exposure to uneven ground, dust, gas or fumes, noise, temperature or humidity extremes, and heights. Applicants must pass pre-employment drug and background checks.
