Job Summary:

Provides component technical interpretations of design requirements as they apply to the maintenance and operation of electrical and mechanical nuclear plant components. Provides engineering recommendations and alternatives for solving operational problems involving system and component performance. Areas of focus may include but are not limited to valves, pumps, motors, heat exchangers, etc. Serves as the primary plant contact and is responsible for assigned component. Develops solutions and engineering options to support safe, reliable and efficient system operation. Develops and performs tests to demonstrate that component design requirements and specifications are met for modified systems. Performs work which involves conventional systems engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements and difficult coordination requirements. Work requires a broad knowledge of component and system precedents and performance as well as an extensive knowledge of principles of instrumentation and control theory and electrical principles.

As a fully competent system engineer in all conventional experience aspects, conducts work requiring judgment in the independent evaluation, selection, and adaptation of standard problem solving techniques and the application of system procedures and criteria. Devises new approaches to problems encountered. Required sufficient professional experience to ensure competence as a fully trained worker.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

May supervise or coordinate the work of multidiscipline engineers, technicians, and others who assist in specific assignments.

Supervision Received:
