Distinguished Nuclear Engineer

The Nuclear Design and Methods department is seeking a highly accomplished Distinguished Engineer to bring deep nuclear plant experience and senior engineering judgment into the design organization .

This role sits at the intersection of nuclear analysis and plant implementation, helping ensure that Nuclear Design and Methods analyses, models, assumptions, limits, and requirements remain consistent with how the reactor will be designed, licensed, instrumented, tested, commissioned, maintained, and operated .

Reporting directly to the Head of Nuclear Design and Methods, the Distinguished Engineer will serve as a trusted senior technical advisor and representative for Nuclear Design in complex, high-impact decisions. The role will work extensively across Nuclear Island and Civil Structures Design, Systems Engineering, Operations, Licensing, I&C, and Nuclear Design functions including Source Term, Radiation Measurements, and Shielding. This individual will identify important technical and plant-interface issues early, lead their resolution across organizational boundaries, and represent Nuclear Design within delegated areas of technical authority.

Equally important, the Distinguished Engineer will strengthen the organization from within—mentoring and challenging engineers, transferring plant and field experience into the design organization, and helping develop technical leaders who can independently make strong cross-functional engineering decisions.

The ideal candidate brings a broad nuclear engineering career anchored in direct responsibility for an operating reactor or nuclear facility , combined with significant field and operational experience and strong knowledge of nuclear design, licensing bases, plant systems, instrumentation, startup and commissioning, procedures, maintenance, and the interfaces between analytical disciplines and plant implementation.
