• Serve as the stop gate for design deliverables, identifying and resolving issues before they reach the end client.
• Evaluate design requirements, quality expectations, and technical criteria for inclusion in purchase orders and contracts.
• Collaborate closely with site engineering teams and construction leadership to ensure that designs are constructible, practical, and aligned with field conditions.
• Support proposal development for nuclear engineering services and engineered equipment, contributing technical expertise during the pre-award phase.
• Prepare and review technical scopes of work, specifications, and requests for quotation (RFQs) for engineering and vendor services.
• Evaluate engineering and vendor bids, including reviewing technical content, cost estimates, and labor estimates for accuracy and completeness.
• Support technical risk assessments and constructability reviews during proposal and early project phases.
• Participate in proposal handover and project kickoff activities to ensure a smooth transition from bid to execution.
• Review client specifications, licensing basis, and design requirements to ensure alignment with project objectives and regulatory expectations.
• Define and manage the scope and oversight of design service partners (DSPs), ensuring they meet contractual and technical obligations.
• Identify engineering and regulatory risks and support the development and implementation of mitigation strategies.
• Monitor engineering progress, schedules, and deliverables, and escalate issues that may impact project milestones.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, site walkdowns, and constructability assessments to validate design assumptions against field realities.
• Review, approve, and issue engineering documents and technical specifications within your professional engineering authority.
• Ensure all designs meet contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, and nuclear quality standards.
• Serve as the primary engineering point of contact during construction, supporting site teams with timely technical guidance.
• Review and issue design revisions and clarifications to support field execution and resolve constructability or interface issues.
• Support resolution of engineering issues, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and field changes, coordinating with design partners and site teams.
• Review construction work packages for design compliance, completeness, and clarity before release to the field.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to project staff, with the potential to lead and mentor additional engineers after the initial assignment period.
• Support the development and execution of commissioning plans for civil and structural scope.
• Participate in commissioning activities, including inspections, testing, and troubleshooting, to verify that systems and structures perform as designed.
• Review and accept test results and commissioning documentation for civil and structural systems.
• Support the review and acceptance of final as-built documentation and system turnover packages to the client.
