Project Engineer - Systems

Mirion Technologies•Meriden, CT

About The Position

Under general supervision, the Project Engineer performs varied engineering tasks using established techniques and procedures. The role plans and executes complete projects or portions of larger projects under the direction of more experienced staff, and provides technical support for planning, designing, analyzing, constructing, and maintaining structures, electrical systems, and/or components. The engineer provides advice to design and drafting staff as needed. Assignments may focus on electrical or mechanical engineering according to departmental and project needs. General project engineering work includes monitoring material purchases and labor expenditures and comparing them with planned project metrics. The position emphasizes PLC (Emerson Machine Edition) and electrical controls experience, including the ability to design and lead custom electromechanical projects. The engineer organizes project activities to meet schedules and budgets, applies automation controls and communication protocols, and may access DOE sites for installations and issue resolution after passing required security checks. The role also involves engineering design and development, analysis, evaluation, testing, specifications, field work, and resolution of field problems. The engineer may lead small projects and is responsible for meeting project requirements while complying with government, organizational, and customer engineering standards. The engineer works independently on standard technical tasks, using judgment for minor adaptations and modifications, and receives assistance with unusual or complex matters as needed. Additional work includes creating or modifying user and equipment manuals and applying knowledge of systems software and Gamma and Neutron measurement techniques.
