Job Description Summary

Senior Discipline Engineers make up a multi-discipline technical team of dedicated engineers and scientists responsible for the application of GEH new plant technology (e.g. BWRX-300 Standard Plant) to each prospective customer site, including comprehensive engineering input to the development of new plant proposals, early works agreements and new product offerings.

In this position, the Electrical Systems Discipline Engineer will be responsible for determining how standard plant design will meet application specific requirements, codes, and standards while incorporating new product modifications. Leveraging your subject matter expertise in the electrical engineering discipline, you will focus on providing detailed statements of work for current and subsequent project phases, proposal technical write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development and risk assessments in support of site selection, site permitting, and construction/operation licensing milestones. The result of the Senior Discipline Engineer’s design planning is a comprehensive engineering solution that can be efficiently executed by design teams.

When necessary, you will coordinate with functional managers within the engineering organization on departures from standard products to produce estimated costs, cycles and risks for new plant opportunities. In addition, you will be responsible for on-time and on-budget delivery of early works projects and new product developments, while partnering with internal and external technical teams supporting proposal and/or early works projects.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

As a Discipline Engineer:

• You will be part of an engineering team that assures proposals and early works packages are aligned with our standard offering.
• You will identify any site-specific technical departures related to all plant electrical systems and grid interfaces, plan the engineering solution to those departures, and work with engineering teams to provide associated costs, cycle times and risks.
• You will establish and maintain effective discipline specific design interfaces and document these in deliverables that become part of proposals and/or contracts.
• Establish and maintain strong working relationship with internal discipline engineering teams.
• Interface with external partners, customers, and other applicable country specific regulatory agencies, as required on technical issues.
• Work with proposal and early works teams to build estimates, schedules, and identify risks associated with different opportunities.
• Provide guidance to external partner engineering resources to ensure the quality of deliverables, enable flexibility and improved cost positions.
• Support commercial and marketing opportunities to develop new business opportunities.
• Protect the Intellectual Property rights of GEVH.
• Support GEVH initiatives, corrective action, process improvement and simplification.
• Ensure adherence to GEVH’s standards for nuclear safety and compliance.
