Energy tech co. that designs, builds, services gas, nuclear, hydro, steam & wind power systems globally.
The role requires making authoritative, fact‑based decisions that influence designs, analysis, and reports. It demands creativity, foresight, and mature judgment to solve discipline‑specific and cross‑discipline challenges. The incumbent defines technical strategy, work scope, and compliance with nuclear regulations and industry standards, while assessing staff competencies and providing mentorship.
Focused on the analytical aspects of electrical systems, the position is responsible for all phases of electrical systems analysis, including Safety Class‑1, safety‑related Class‑2/3, and non‑safety scopes across the nuclear island, turbine island, balance of plant, and switchyard.
Technical leadership includes developing AC and DC electrical models, conducting transient stability, load‑flow, short‑circuit, motor‑starting, arc‑flash, UPS/DC, and battery‑sizing analyses, and managing design solutions for plant power distribution. Collaboration with other disciplines ensures reliability, availability, maintainability, and inspectability goals using FMEA, PRA, and related techniques. The role also supports nuclear regulatory certification, reviews supplier deliverables, and leads optioneering, root‑cause, and design‑review studies to keep projects on spec, budget, and schedule.
Mentoring responsibilities involve assessing staff competencies, capturing lessons learned, and promoting knowledge transfer through design guides, digital‑engineering tools, and best‑practice documentation. The incumbent also contributes to technical papers, patents, and industry groups, fostering productive relationships with engineering, product, project management, support functions, and external suppliers while championing a nuclear safety culture.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or a related field, plus ten years of experience with digital modeling tools such as ETAP, heavy‑reliability industries, and adherence to IEEE or IEC power system standards. Candidates must also have field‑installation experience with heavy electrical equipment, strong PC productivity skills, and proficiency in CAD tools like AutoCAD or Inventor.
Eligibility requirements specify U.S. candidates work primarily from GE Vernova Nuclear Energy Headquarters in Wilmington, NC, with remote options for qualified U.S. residents, while Canadian candidates work two days per week onsite in Markham, Ontario. Access to U.S. export‑controlled information is required, and all hires must be legally authorized to work in the respective country.
Desired characteristics include an advanced degree or Professional Engineer license, experience with modern digital collaboration and simulation platforms, clear quantitative thinking, excellent technical writing and communication, and a self‑starter attitude with ownership of scope, schedule, and budget. Candidates should be comfortable with Agile, Lean, DMAIC, DFSS, DFR, FMEA, and design‑to‑cost methodologies.
Compensation ranges from $128,000 to $202,000 (U.S.) or comparable Canadian levels, with performance bonuses, geographic differentials, and a comprehensive benefits package covering medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, health‑coach services, retirement savings with company match, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability and life insurance, and generous paid time off.
