About The Position

Engineering & Construction is seeking a Project Engineer / Project Manager to support Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development, performing a dual role that integrates technical engineering leadership with disciplined project management. This position sits at the center of early-stage SMR efforts, supporting technology evaluation, preliminary engineering/FEED, and project definition. The role partners across nuclear development, supply chain, and E&C teams to ensure scope is clearly defined, interfaces are managed, and constructability, cost, and schedule considerations are incorporated early in project development. The successful candidate will coordinate multi-disciplinary engineering inputs, support scope development and technical evaluations, and manage project fundamentals including schedule, cost, and risk. Responsibilities include maintaining a risk register, supporting procurement and bid evaluations, and driving alignment between engineering assumptions and contractor proposals. This role requires strong cross-functional leadership, the ability to operate in an ambiguous, first-of-a-kind (FOAK) environment, and a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks to enable successful project execution and construction readiness.
