About The Position

Duke Energy is hiring a Nuclear Traveling Instrumentation & Electrical Technician for the Test Team within its Specialty Services Group. The role is based at the Lark Maintenance Center in Mount Holly, North Carolina, and may be filled at a higher level in the job hierarchy depending on the successful candidate’s qualifications. Travel may be required up to 100% of the year, with work assignments at various facilities or field locations. Employees must live within a reasonable commute—no more than 50 miles one way—from the reporting location. The technician performs assigned calibration, maintenance, and repair of electrical, electronic, pneumatic, and hydraulic instrumentation and control systems in a safe, reliable, economical, and environmentally sound manner. Work may be done independently or as part of a team. The position requires nuclear access, a DOT medical card, successful completion of EEI’s Power Plant Maintenance Selection System (MASS), and the ability to respond to unusual events and emergencies. Schedules vary with project assignments and plant conditions; weekend work, shift work, and overtime are expected. The work takes place in conditions typical of an operating fossil or nuclear power station, including extreme weather, high temperatures and pressures, high-voltage electrical systems, and rotating machinery. The role also involves operating vehicles and mobile equipment and may require working at heights, on scaffolds or platforms, in confined or tight spaces, and on uneven or inclined surfaces. Physical activities include standing, walking, lifting up to 50 pounds, stooping, climbing ladders and stairs, and working long hours. A 275-pound weight restriction applies as an essential function to ensure safe use of weight-rated equipment.
