About the role
- Plant electric power distribution systems (EPDS) design including nuclear (NI) and turbine island (TI), balance of plant (BOP), and interface to switchyard and grid
- Focus on analytical aspects of electrical systems discipline with responsibility for all aspects of electrical systems analysis including technical leadership and process ownership
- Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage engineering solutions for EPDS
- Apply electrical circuit and electro-magnetic theory, mathematical modeling, and simulation to design electrical systems with desired behaviors including power flow balance, optimization, and coordination
- EPDS scope includes AC and DC systems and components: generators, transformers, bus duct, circuit breakers, protective relays, switchgear, switchboards, motor control centers, lighting and power panels, cable and wire, grounding, lightning and cathodic protection, motors, drives, batteries, chargers, inverters, UPS, contactors, switches, relays, etc.
- Support development of customer applications to connect the plant to the grid and design protection and control system components interfacing with the grid
- Perform, lead, or manage design through FEED, Conceptual, Preliminary, Detailed design phases
- Prepare and maintain static documents, reports, specifications, databases, tabular lists, diagrams, drawings, and dynamic physics-based and electrical simulation models (e.g.; ETAP) using data-centric digital tools with rigorous requirements and configuration management
- Collaborate with other disciplines to define and achieve functional, performance, reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) goals using FMEA, PRA, and related techniques
- Lead or support nuclear regulatory certification or licensing, procurement packages, and supplier hand-off for implementation of systems and components requirements
- Provide oversight of suppliers through procurement and construction; develop, perform, and review unit, module, system, and integration test plans, procedures, and reports (factory acceptance, site acceptance, pre-operational, start-up)
- Perform optioneering or trade-off studies for technical, risk, and cost optimization
- Prepare detailed work plans covering scope, labor budget, and schedule; ensure deliverables are on-spec, on-budget, and on-schedule
- Support LEAN, continuous process improvement, and cost-out programs
- Provide leadership and mentoring in a team environment and champion nuclear culture
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering for Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or equivalent year technical degree
- 10 years of experience in heavy and high reliability industries such as; nuclear, power, process, marine, oil & gas, military, etc. design requirements, specifications, documentation, and related detailed design artifacts including procurement packages
