Civil Engineer

Description

The Civil Engineer will be responsible for the planning, design, and coordination of site development, foundations, and infrastructure for Hadron Energy’s micro modular reactor (MMR) installations. This individual will work closely with structural, mechanical, and regulatory teams to ensure projects meet technical, safety, and regulatory standards across diverse deployment environments.

You will play a key role in shaping Hadron’s site engineering strategy—developing scalable, standardized civil and structural designs that support rapid, factory-built deployment of modular nuclear power systems worldwide.

• Design and analyze foundations, support pads, and structural interfaces between the reactor module and site infrastructure
• Conduct geotechnical and site feasibility assessments for new reactor locations
• Review and interpret survey data, topographic maps, and geotechnical reports
• Support transportation, logistics, and constructability planning for modular system deployment
• Interface with contractors and engineering partners during construction and installation phases
• Develop civil design drawings, specifications, and reports in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams
• Contribute to internal design reviews and risk assessments to ensure safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness
• Coordinate with environmental and regulatory teams to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal permitting requirements
• Lead and support site design, grading, drainage, and foundation engineering for microreactor deployments
• Collaborate with structural and architectural teams on integrated plant layouts
• Prepare and maintain documentation for design packages, project approvals, and regulatory submittals

This is a full-time on-site role for a Civil Engineer, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with strong technical expertise in civil, site, and infrastructure design who are passionate about supporting the deployment of next-generation clean energy systems.

• Proficiency in civil and structural design software (AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, STAAD Pro, or similar tools)
• Knowledge of geotechnical principles, concrete and steel design, and construction methods
• Strong understanding of drainage, utility coordination, and grading design
• Familiarity with ASCE, ACI, and AISC standards and local building codes
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environment
• Experience with permitting, environmental impact, and site compliance processes
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and project management skills
