About The Position
The System Engineer applies science, technology, and engineering knowledge to maintain the operability of assigned structures, systems, and components (SSCs) at RH-TRU for the Idaho Cleanup Project at Idaho National Laboratory. The role maintains configuration management and provides oversight of the technical aspects of operations for assigned SSCs, including testing, performance monitoring, walkdowns, system health reporting, and operability evaluations. The engineer integrates safety into engineering designs and is accountable to the RH-TRU Chief Engineer for compliance with DOE Orders, Facility Safety Basis requirements, company procedures, and nuclear-industry best practices. Industrial and commercial practices are used where appropriate in operating and maintaining assigned SSCs. This is a multi-level position. Placement depends on the candidate’s demonstrated depth and breadth of experience and skills. Grade 14 requires a bachelor’s degree; Grade 17 requires a bachelor’s degree and six years of relevant experience. The position is located at Site/INTEC and follows a Monday–Thursday, four 10-hour shifts schedule. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE “L” security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required because the work is performed at a federal facility involving national security.
