SRO Engineer - Nuclear Operations

Are you interested in joining the industry leader to decide how our nuclear power plants are operated worldwide? Do you want to have an impact on nuclear power plant operations? Do you want to bring new plants online?

As an SRO Engineer - Nuclear Operations, you will learn from many of our team members that either joined our group as qualified reactor operators or earned an SRO certification with us. Our experience as reactor operators is at the core of our efforts to define and improve how nuclear power plants are operated. We are developing the operating procedures executed by reactor operators in reactor control rooms and the commissioning test procedures that are bringing new plants from construction, to critical, then to full power operation. Nuclear Operations leads the delivery of modern nuclear instrumentation technologies, such as the Vanadium Fixed Incore Instrumentation System. We offer an array of reactor engineering services, including startup physics testing, nuclear instrumentation diagnostics, fuel transfer and cask loading optimization, and much more.

Our team has supported the commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry, so Innovation is part of our group's culture, and we are always looking for the next creative idea to improve operating plants. As an SRO Engineer, Nuclear Operations you will report to a Supervisor and be located at our Cranberry Township, PA location, with a hybrid work schedule.

No Relocation Assistance will be provided.

Key Responsibilites:

• 
  

  You will acquire knowledge about integrated plant operations to develop the way control room operators run plants with operating procedures.

  
  
• 
  

  You will then validate scenarios in control room simulators, before they are used to train reactor operators and implemented in plants worldwide.

  
  
• 
  

  You will work with professionals in the industry who will teach you the technical and professional aspects of working in the nuclear industry.

  
  
• 
  

  Your scope will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.

  
  
• 
  

  You will also design new incore instrumentation, developing our testing equipment, completing test preparation and reporting.

  
  
• 
  

  In the field, you will support utility reactor operators by performing critical activities in their control rooms. We are looking for performance with for customer interactions, and the physical ability to handle test equipment.

  
  
• 
  

  You'll travel to customer sites around the world to perform testing (2 to 4 times a year and 5 to 15 days per trip) or for short fieldwork assignments.

  
  

• 
  

  Bachelor's degree in engineering with aminimum GPA of 3.4. Candidates with a Reactor Operator license at a university reactor are encouraged to apply.

  
  
• 
  

  US Citizen or permanent resident only

  
  
• 
  

  Ability to obtain unescorted site access to customer sites which requires compliance with industry fitness-for-duty standards and participation in Westinghouse's behavioral observation program.
