You should enjoy getting away from the desk to oversee installation and implementation, ensuring your designs work flawlessly in the real world.
  • Mechanical Expertise: Bring a deep understanding of nuts and bolts mechanics to your work, ensuring that designs are practical, robust, and reliable.
  • Temperature Management: Ensure that removed fuel is managed within allowable temperature limits, particularly in the context of transitioning fuel to dry cask storage.
  • Equipment Integration: Oversee the integration and testing of key fuel handling components such as refueling stands, shielded canisters, gantry cranes, and grapples.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including those focused on the spent fuel storage and transfer processes, to address challenges related to fuel handling and material transfer.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that all designs and processes comply with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably within the nuclear or energy sectors, with significant experience in designing large structures and mechanisms.
  • Design Passion: A deep love for creation, with a demonstrated ability to bring complex mechanical systems from concept to reality.
  • Hands-On Approach: A proactive, hands-on approach to engineering, with a willingness to engage in the physical aspects of installation and implementation.
  • Challenge-Driven: Motivated by challenges and driven to find innovative solutions to complex problems.
  • Pride in Craftsmanship: A strong sense of pride in your work, with a commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable systems.
  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in CAD software and other engineering design tools, with a strong understanding of fabrication processes.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with temperature management and dry cask storage regulations is a plus.
  • Communication Skills: Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
