About The Position
This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with three days in the office and two days remote. It is a senior engineering position providing challenging opportunities in structural engineering and career advancement. You will collaborate with structural engineers, interface with other disciplines, and guide junior team members. The work involves engineering projects for new nuclear facilities and upgrades/modifications to nuclear power plants, applying knowledge of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. As part of an engineering and design team, you will prepare and review design calculations, develop specifications, and support drawing development. You will use state-of-the-art computer tools for structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, and foundations. There is potential for travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant sites for construction coordination and field verification.
