ReNuke Services is seeking a Nuclear Project Engineer III for our client's site in Charlotte, NC!

Summary
The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) department is seeking engineering support for the Risk-Informed Capital Initiatives team. This team is responsible for leading strategic initiatives and implementing risk-informed applications across the nuclear fleet. The team collaborates with cross-functional teams to develop and deploy risk-informed decision-making tools and processes that enhance safety, optimize operations, and support regulatory compliance.
The contractor will collaborate with Duke Energy stakeholders and cross-functional teams to develop and deploy risk-informed decision-making tools and processes that enhance safety, optimize operations, and support regulatory compliance.
With appropriate on-boarding, the contractor is expected to work independently with minimal supervision, exercise sound engineering judgment, and deliver high-quality work products that may be used with limited rework.

Responsibilities
- Support development and implementation support for strategic risk-informed applications and initiatives across the nuclear fleet (e.g., Risk-Informed Completion Times, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and 10 CFR 50.69 categorizations including development of Alternative Treatments), including development of technical bases and supporting documentation.
o Specifically, this will entail the following tasks, at a minimum:
- Research and provide reference documentation to third parties
- Coordinate reviews with site resources
- Research and resolve system design and operations questions that arise from 50.69 categorization and/or alternative treatment activities.
- Provide engineering/technical expertise to identify, analyze, and resolve complex issues; assess impacts on a system and fleet-wide basis; and communicate options and recommendations to stakeholders.
- Apply technical rigor and operating experience to produce risk-informed solutions that optimize safety, support regulatory compliance, and enhance operational decision-making.
- Plan and execute assigned work with appropriate estimating, scheduling, and status reporting; manage multiple workstreams where limited standardization exists and solutions require independent problem solving within area of expertise.
- Prepare and maintain thorough and accurate technical reports, correspondence, calculations/analyses, and supporting documentation; recommend process and standards enhancements as appropriate.
- Perform engineering studies and analyses with technical responsibility for coordinating inputs across stakeholders; support project execution by providing technical products, facilitating reviews, and documenting decisions.
- Ideally the contractor would already have effective working relationships to coordinate activities with engineering, operations, licensing, and other stakeholders.
- Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills suitable for technical and leadership audiences.
- Maintain accurate and detailed project records and files in accordance with Duke Energy requirements.
- Perform work in a professional manner consistent with Duke Energy expectations for contractor conduct, safety, and quality.

Working Conditions
- Work is primarily performed in an office environment with periodic on-site work at a nuclear generating station as needed to support the scope.
- Hybrid and remote work arrangements may be available; on-site presence will be required for specific meetings, plant support activities, badging, and site access needs as directed by Duke Energy.

Qualifications
Basic/Required Qualifications
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an ABET-accredited program (or equivalent degree).
- Minimum of 8 years of relevant engineering experience (Duke Energy nuclear experience strongly preferred).
- Demonstrated ability to develop and adhere to schedules, meet deliverables/commitments, and provide status updates.
- Strong written and oral communication skills.
- Demonstrated proactive problem identification and solution development.
- Experience with Boolean logic development and/or analysis with large fault trees.
- Experience in the utility industry, at a site/station, preferably in Engineering or Operations.
- Familiarity with fundamental BWR or PWR plant systems.
- Proficient in practices of researching engineering and design issues, evaluating alternatives, making sound recommendations, and preparing and presenting recommendations.
- Demonstrated effective analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to deliver superior results within allocated time through effective prioritization, scheduling, planning, and execution of assigned work.
- Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team, be a self-starter, exercise flexibility, and take personal responsibility for assigned deliverables.
- Demonstrated ability to adapt to changing processes, regulations, responsibilities, and work environments.

Desired Qualifications:
- SRO certification, RO or SRO license, or Technical Nuclear certification
- Advanced knowledge of probabilistic risk assessment methodologies and risk-informed applications (e.g., RI-ISI, 10 CFR 50.69, risk-informed technical specifications) and related regulatory requirements.
- Experience using Probabilistic Risk Assessment software, especially CAFTA and/or PHOENIX Risk Monitor (or comparable tools).
- RO or SRO license, or SRO certification.
- Proficient in principles of project management; MBA and/or PMP designation viewed favorably.
- Demonstrate broad knowledge of PRA principles, practices, and procedures; analyze and recommend enhancements to business processes and support development of standards relevant to the assigned scope.
