• Apply nuclear industry standards and regulations to new situations.
• Facilitate team actions for problem solving, including conflict resolution.
• Provide technical interface with engineering firms on project development.
• Prepare and review engineering documents using applicable industry and regulatory standards (e.g., 10CFR50.59).
• Prepare/review design output documents including design changes, calculations, specifications, and procurement specifications for internally developed design changes.
• Conduct independent design verification and prepare stand-alone electrical calculations.

Technical Expertise Areas

• Power Systems Engineering: The candidate's experience should be primarily in power systems engineering, not Instrumentation & Control (I&C). Experience should focus on power systems components and analysis.
• Power Systems Components: Molded case circuit breakers, motor starters, thermal overloads, low and medium voltage power breakers and switchgear, industrial battery chargers, industrial inverters/UPS, 125Vdc battery systems, Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs), large dry-type or oil-filled transformers, main generators, voltage regulators.
