This position reports to the Manager - Nuclear Plant Engineering, and is responsible for providing engineering leadership for the deployment of new nuclear generating facilities in the Carolinas and Florida.

The first principle area of Engineering responsibility is the development of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for each proposed nuclear site based on the design-certified Westinghouse Advanced Passive AP1000 design. The FSAR is the primary component of the Combined Operating License (COL) application submitted to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Engineering support of the NRC review process of the FSAR (and other COL application documents) would continue through the NRC?s Request-for Additional-Information (RAI) phase and Atomic Safety & Licensing Board (ASLB) mandatory hearings, until the COL is issued.

This engineering position will be focused specifically on the Electrical Engineering aspects of the Westinghouse Advanced Passive AP1000 Nuclear Steam Supply Systems (NSSS) and Balance of Plant (BOP) Systems, including the associated AC, DC, and UPS electrical distribution systems, and station batteries.

The second principle area of Engineering responsibility is the design interface with Westinghouse and other NuStart Energy Development (NuStart) member companies on the Engineering design finalization of the standardized AP1000 nuclear plant island, which includes the Reactor Building, Turbine, Building, Waste Processing Building, and the Annex Building.

This senior engineer provides technical support within the project, and will support industry resolution of specific AP1000 technical issues (examples ? electrical buses, batteries, switchgear etc.) within the industry. This senior engineer will work within the nuclear power industry community to resolve electrical design technical issues that affect the entire AP1000 fleet across multiple utilities.

For each proposed nuclear site, the additional electrical engineering responsibilities include oversight of design development (electrical discipline-specific portions) of site specific structures such as natural draft cooling towers and intake make-up structures, etc., that are outside of the scope of the standard AP1000 nuclear plant island.

This position is functionally based in Raleigh, North Carolina, but involves travel to the proposed new nuclear sites, and to various industry forums (NEI, NuStart, EPRI, and the U.S. NRC).

Job Requirements:
Nuclear power plant design engineering specific experience is required for this position.

Nuclear power plant Architect/Engineer (A/E) based design engineering experience is preferred for this position.

Experience with operating nuclear power plants is required for this position.

Progress Energy's mission is to provide a safe, secure working environment for personnel in the plants. The selected candidate will be required to obtain U.S. Nuclear Power Plant Unescorted Access and will participate in the company's Fitness-for-Duty Program. In order to obtain unescorted access, the selected candidate will be required to complete a Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ). Information from this form will be used to conduct an extensive background investigation as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. It is unlikely you will be granted access if (1) you have had a positive drug or alcohol test within the past five years, (2) you have used or possessed drugs in the past five years, (3) you have a felony conviction in the past five years, (4) you have recent misdemeanor convictions, (5) you falsify or omit information or fail to fully cooperate during the investigation process. This list is not inclusive.

Basic requirements: Lead level. Coaches and communicates with other team members to implement objectives. Plans and assigns personnel for projects and tasks. Independently performs assignments with instruction limited to results expected. Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an ABET or equivalently accredited school and 7+ years professional experience.
