About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Civil Engineer – Remote. This remote position is based out of our Oak Ridge, TN office. Your role Responsible for designing, developing, testing, and overseeing the construction and maintenance of infrastructure projects. Responsible for the overall design and analysis of safety and non-safety related structures for nuclear and commercial projects. Regularly interfaces with the other technical disciplines (mechanical, nuclear, operations and electrical engineering teams) for structural design and layouts having a significant impact on project. Applies extensive knowledge and experience, industry best practices, regulatory guidance, codes and standards, and good engineering judgment to ensure the design is compliant with International regulatory criteria and industry best practices. Performs a variety of advanced engineering calculations using traditional engineering methods or Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to document compliance with project and code requirements, which may include; foundation analyses, structural frame analyses and one-off FEA model analyses. Generates and reviews civil layout plans, foundation details, steelwork details and architectural feature design. This includes the design of containment, reactor buildings and support systems with reinforced concrete, steel, and composite/advanced materials. Specializes in the preparation and approval of design documents and plant modifications, including coordination with designers in document development in accordance with approved procedures, processes and design requirements. Specializes in routine development, management and implementation of engineering analysis, activities and programs to identify and resolve routine equipment and system problems. Familiar with national codes and standards appropriate to the CS&A Engineering discipline. Ensures relevant design criteria, specifications, practices, procedures and codes and site design and safety and licensing basis are used in preparation of design media.
