The candidate will fill a position as an I&C Project Engineer for the North Anna Power Station Digital I&C Program. The Digital I&C project is a 10+ year effort as part of Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) to upgrade safety and non-safety-related analog systems to digital and transform the main control room to flat panel displays and controls. This role works with a cross-functional team of station stakeholders, project leads, and project managers to evaluate modifications to the plant design.

Responsibilities include:

Reviewing and/or preparing engineering products (e.g., Design / Engineering Change packages, Specifications, Calculations, Technical Evaluations.)
Overseeing contracted engineering work and ensuring consistency and compliance with the client company and industry standards.
Providing technical support, input, and oversight for Factory and Site Acceptance Testing and Simulations (e.g., reviewing and approving procedures and observing activities).
Interfacing with the primary equipment supplier and project stakeholders to support technical reviews and input.
Analyzing engineering risk and failure modes and incorporating mitigating strategies in the designs.
Reporting and presenting status to the engineering team lead, project managers, and management team periodically.
Supporting construction/implementation phase (e.g., design updates, field change evaluations, resolution of technical issues).
