Mid-Level Power Uprate Analysis Engineer

Description

• Civil/Structural: structural load assessments, seismic and wind evaluations, foundation design reviews, and support modifications for uprate-related equipment
• Modification Identification & Scoping: Determine necessary plant modifications to accommodate the new power level, including mechanical, electrical, and I&C changes. Develop scopes of work and support cost-benefit analyses
• Cross-Disciplinary Coordination: Work closely with design engineering, licensing, operations, and maintenance teams to ensure alignment on uprate strategy and implementation
• Design Margin Evaluation: Conduct detailed engineering studies to assess available design margins across nuclear plant systems, including reactor core, steam generators, feedwater systems, and electrical infrastructure
• System Impact Analysis: Evaluate the impact of increased power levels on plant systems, components, and structures. Identify potential bottlenecks or limitations and propose engineering solutions
• Vendor & Contractor Interface: Support engagement with external vendors and contractors for specialized studies, equipment upgrades, and implementation planning
• Documentation & Reporting: Prepare technical reports, design change packages, and presentations for internal stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Maintain accurate records of evaluations and decisions

Requirements

• Ability to pass a pre-employment and random drug and alcohol screenings, ENERCON and client specific background checks, and annual motor vehicle record (MVR) according to com pany and client policies.
• Candidates must be legally eligible to work in the US without requiring current or future sponsorship.
• Electrical: load flow, short circuit, arc flash, equipment protection, sequence of operation, and transient stability
• 4-10 years of experience performing nuclear power design engineering
• Experience evaluating large scale power generation systems following industry accepted electrical codes and standards such as IEEE, IEC, NEC, and NERC; preferably in nuclear
• Mechanical: thermal-hydraulic evaluations, system flow modeling, pump and valve sizing, and stress analysis
• Proficiency in understanding highly technical topics in the field of engineering using textbooks, white papers, and industry studies as basis and guidance
• Experience in performing engineering studies and analysis in one or more of the following disciplines:
• PE license or progress toward licensure is a plus
• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical, Civil, or related discipline) from an ABET accredited university

Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements, including hybrid and alternative schedules
• Professional Engineer (PE) license support and incentives
• Mentorship & Growth : Work alongside senior subject matter experts (SMEs) who will provide hands-on mentorship and help you develop into a future power uprate specialist
• Tuition reimbursement
• Career Springboard: With the U.S. targeting a fourfold increase in nuclear capacity—from ~100 GW today to 400 GW by 2050—power uprates are anticipated to only contribute approximately 8 GW. To meet this ambitious goal, the industry will soon shift focus to designing and constructing new reactors, including advanced and small modular reactor technologies. This role positions you to transition seamlessly into those future projects, giving you a front-row seat to the next generation of nuclear development
• If a salary range is listed, it reflects the typical range for this full-time position based on the role, level, and location. Individual compensation within the range will be determined by factors such as work location, relevant experience, job-related skills, and education or training.
• Leadership Pathways : This role is designed to groom engineers for leadership—whether you choose to specialize technically, lead teams, or guide future uprate studies and modifications
• At Enercon Services, Inc. (ENERCON), we’re driven by our people—and we’re proud to offer rewarding careers in a culture of excellence. We provide a comprehensive benefits package and professional development opportunities that support your long-term growth.
• Enjoy full benefits for you and your dependents starting day one, no waiting period
