About The Position

Sargent & Lundy’s Government Services Group is seeking an experienced electrical designer to work on DOE facility projects, including new and retrofit designs, special-purpose gloveboxes and associated controls and auxiliary systems, precision furnaces, hot cells, custom pressure vessels, and other one-of-a-kind equipment. As part of a multidisciplinary project team, the designer will contribute electrical and/or controls design and prepare design drawings from engineering input. The role involves using 2D and 3D computer-aided design software, producing scaled drawings that show how proposed installations relate to existing facilities, and documenting exact specifications and dimensions. The designer may join experienced engineers and designers on client-facility walkdowns to gather project information and will help prepare design media for procurement and implementation of software, instrumentation, and control system platforms. Sargent & Lundy supports continued career development through peer learning and its Communities of Practice. The Government Services Division provides engineering design and consulting support to contractors operating U.S. Department of Energy sites and national laboratories, including the DOE Environmental Management Directorate and National Nuclear Security Administration sites. Its work includes facilities, systems, and equipment for treating, storing, and disposing of nuclear waste and for safely handling and processing nuclear material.
