Successful candidates will be employees of AIS, a premier government contractor charged with employing highly motivated and well-qualified personnel who can advance Y-12's core mission to ensure a safe, secure, and reliable U.S. nuclear deterrent, which is essential to national security. Though employed by AIS, the employee will take day-to-day direction and assignments from Y-12 staff employed directly by the security complex. Pay, benefits, Human Resources, and Employment Management functions are provided by AIS. Qualified applicants must be a US citizen, at least 18 years of age, and able to meet pre-employment requirements including any required physicals, drug screen, and/or background investigation to satisfy clearance requirements from the Department of Energy.

Subcontractor will provide Project Engineering support and coordination for various projects across one but not limited to: Commercial, Infrastructure, Production Modernization, and/or Production Stockpile projects. Subcontractor will also provide Project Engineering support necessary to complete planning, design and implementation of new machine tools and/or infrastructure upgrades.
