Structural Engineer 2 - Nuclear (Summer 2027)
About The Position
This associate engineering position offers a variety of interesting and challenging opportunities in structural engineering and will provide an excellent opportunity to advance your career. You will collaborate with a team of structural engineers and interface with engineers from other disciplines. You will work with a structural engineering team on engineering projects for new nuclear facilities and upgrades and modifications to nuclear power plants. This position will offer you the ability to directly apply your knowledge of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. As a member of an engineering and design team, you will work on a wide range of projects for various clients. You will prepare and review design calculations, develop specifications, and support designers with drawing development. Using our state-of-the-art computer tools, you will perform the structural analysis and design of steel frames, connections, concrete members, and foundations. There is the potential for you to travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs. In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to solve problems using modern tools: You are expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs. Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.
Requirements
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s of Science in Structural/Civil Engineering or Architectural Engineering with a strong academic background and interest in behavior of materials, structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design
- Completion of coursework in steel and concrete design
- Knowledge of the practical application of structural engineering including loads analysis for structural supports and design integrity
- An understanding of the practical application of structural engineering including applying principles, techniques, and procedures to a project design
- Knowledge of structural design techniques, tools, and principles involved in the production of technical plans, drawings, and models
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Proficiency with MS Office applications
Nice To Haves
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s of Science from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program
