* Ability to support construction documentation and field interpretation.
* Strong communication, organization, and technical problem-solving skills.
* Ability to work 100% onsite in Los Alamos, NM.
* Ability to obtain and maintain DOE Q Clearance and Green Strap access.
* Ability to access plant/facility environments and walk around job sites as needed.

### Electrical Engineer 3

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
* Approximately 8-9+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience.
* Strong experience producing and interpreting construction documents, design packages, and technical specifications.
* Strong experience with facility electrical power design, low-voltage systems, field engineering support, and construction issue resolution.
* Ability to independently support engineering design, documentation, and stakeholder coordination in a regulated environment.
* Ability to work 100% onsite in Los Alamos, NM.
* Ability to obtain and maintain DOE Q Clearance and Green Strap access.

## Highly Desired Experience

* Prior DOE, NNSA, LANL, nuclear, high-hazard, or secure facility experience.
* Experience supporting TA-55, RLUOB, downstream waste, or similar operational facility environments.
* Electrical power design experience in facility, industrial, commercial, government, or high-regulation environments.
* Experience developing construction documents, drawings, specifications, and electrical design packages.
* Experience supporting field walkdowns, RFIs, design changes, construction questions, and installation support.
* Familiarity with control systems is a plus, but power design experience is the priority.
* Active DOE Q Clearance or prior clearance history.
* Experience working with construction teams, operations, maintenance personnel, project managers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

## Clearance Requirements

This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a **DOE Q Clearance** and Green Strap access.

* U.S. Citizenship is required for DOE clearance eligibility.
* Candidates must be able to work in a secure environment with confidential information.
* Unescorted access will be required.
