What You’ll Do

As an entry-level Electrical Engineer (Electrical Engineer 1) in the Nuclear Power Group you will contribute to the design, modernization, and analysis of electrical systems for nuclear power facilities. Working under the direction of senior engineers and subject-matter experts, you will support projects that include existing nuclear plants, first-of-a-kind restart projects, small modular reactors (SMRs), and advanced reactor facilities.

• Assist in preparation of engineering calculations and design deliverables for large power generating stations, including protection & coordination studies, cable sizing, medium- and low-voltage system design, DC battery sizing, and safety-related electrical analyses.
• Use industry-standard tools (for example ETAP) to perform power systems analysis and transient modeling for complex electrical networks.
• Support selection, specification, and integration of major electrical equipment—switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), transformers, breakers, relays, and associated systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—mechanical, civil/structural, controls, and designers—to convert engineering concepts into detailed drawings and constructible designs.
• Participate in technical reviews, training sessions, and client-facing activities with operations and systems engineering representatives.
• Perform onsite walkdowns, witness installation and testing, and support refueling outages and major project implementation when assigned.
• Build experience with station-specific design, licensing-basis documentation, and client computer systems while learning quality and configuration-control processes.
• Gain exposure to the professional licensure pathway (FE/PE) through mentorship and hands-on project work.
