About The Position

The Senior Architectural Engineer for SMR Systems and Interior will be part of a multi-discipline Civil/Structural technical team of dedicated engineers and scientists responsible for the application of GEH new plant technology (e.g. BWRX-300 Standard Plant) to each prospective customer site, including comprehensive engineering input to the development of new plant proposals, early works agreements and new product offerings. In this position, you will be the primary technical authority for architectural integration, ensuring that all non-Seismic Category I buildings (e.g., turbine building, control building, auxiliary buildings, cooling structures, and administrative facilities) meet regulatory standards and functional requirements. This will include design, analysis, and oversight of subcontracted scopes of work, particularly with human interfaces, egress, systems integration, interior environmental control, and HVAC/electrical routing. Leveraging your subject matter expertise in architectural engineering, you will support the development of detailed statements of work for current and subsequent project phases, proposal technical write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development and risk assessments in support of site selection, site permitting, and construction/operation licensing milestones.
