Senior Engineer, Power Plant Operational Design

Description

• Prioritizes and ensures safety of one self and others.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional design teams to inform and guide plant-level decisions, ensuring operational requirements and control strategies are incorporated.
• Remaining in a stationary position for prolonged period
• Translate operational goals into actionable system- and component-level requirements for Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs), balancing performance expectations and design constraints.
• Assessing the accuracy, neatness and thoroughness of the work assigned
• Support design optimization efforts aimed at enhancing plant performance, reliability, and availability while mitigating technical risks.
• Reporting issues with equipment or unsafe conditions
• Develop and refine the plant’s detailed operational strategy, including operating modes, envelopes, and key state points, leveraging deep knowledge of plant performance requirements.
• Reading and interpreting hazardous warning signs
• Define anticipated and planned plant transients and collaborate with simulation teams to model and assess system responses and design adequacy.

Requirements

• Wearing proper PPE, to include face mask, face shields, gloves, safety shoes
• Ability to seek different and novel ways to create efficiencies when working on problems, challenges and issues.
• Desire and ability to function in a fast-paced small company environment while wearing multiple hats.
• Plant Performance - Proficient knowledge in power plant steady state performance.
• Capable of obtaining forklift and boom lift certification
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team on problems as well as lead/coordinate the timely resolution of issues in cross functional teams.
• Ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
• Demonstrated ability of applying engineering knowledge to deliver results while being able to thrive in an environment with evolving requirements.
• Fundamental understanding of power or industrial process plant operation and equipment and the interrelationships between them.
• Ability to proactively collect, manage and transfer knowledge.
• Some travel may be required, up to 20%
• Ability to work with highly collaborative team.
• BS or MS Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical, or other related engineering discipline with 6+ years of relevant experience, at least 4+ years of experience in either plant design and/or plant performance analysis.
• Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to clearly document operational philosophies, assumptions, and technical decisions.
• Plant Dynamics – Proficient knowledge in power plant maneuvering, control of closed-loop heat transport systems, transient thermodynamics and T-H.
• Strong interpersonal skills and able to be independent, resourceful, and proactive in the face of the lack of information or unknowns.
• High-concentration, demanding and fast-paced
• Working experience with plant simulation tools (e.g., APROS or other simulation platform) is desired
• Demonstrated experience applying understanding of plant operations in the development of plant design configuration.

Benefits
