Senior Electrical Designer 1 - Mission Critical

Sargent & Lundy•Los Alamos, NM

18h•$77,890 - $118,999

About The Position

Sargent & Lundy's Government Services Group has opportunities for engineering professionals in its design group, which specializes in DOE facility design, including new and retrofit projects, special-purpose gloveboxes and associated controls and auxiliary systems, precision furnaces, hot cells, custom pressure vessels, and other one-of-a-kind equipment. As a member of a multidisciplinary project team, the Senior Electrical Designer will use and develop their electrical and/or controls design background and technical experience. The role includes preparing design drawings from design input, working with other designers and engineers, and applying 2D and 3D computer-aided drafting skills. Drawings will be created to scale to show proposed installations in relation to existing facilities and to specify dimensions accurately. The designer may accompany and assist experienced engineers and designers on client-facility walkdowns to gather project information. The position also involves preparing design media for the procurement and implementation of software, instrumentation, and control-system platforms. Career development is supported through peer learning and Sargent & Lundy's process systems and Communities of Practice.
