Location: Richland, Washington

Clearance: DoE Badging required. Must be able to obtain a Department of Energy badge for access to the Hanford Site.

Citizenship Requirement: US Citizenship Required.

Req #: 1892

Salary: Grade 25 $88,000 to $127,000 Grade 26 $100,500 to $144,500

Temporary assignment – 1 Year

Schedule: 9/80 with every other Friday off. In office position. No Telework

Project Overview:

Located in Southeastern Washington State, on the Hanford reservation, The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) will use vitrification technology to process and solidify 56 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste stored at the Hanford site, which is a byproduct of plutonium production during World War II and the Cold War era. The WTP project is the largest undertaking of its kind and one of DOE’s most technically challenging cleanup projects. Its construction spans 65 acres with four major nuclear facilities – Pretreatment, Low-Activity Waste Vitrification, High-Level Waste Vitrification and Analytical Laboratory – as well as operations and maintenance buildings, utilities, other support facilities.

Responsibilities: You will be working as part of the Mechanical Systems team designing the fluid and gas systems in the WTP process facilities. You will be responsible for assisting with discipline work process execution in a technically adequate manner and in accordance with company, contract, and industry codes and standard. You will be preparing technical reports, studies, and design documentation, calculations using engineering software, and specifications for complex mechanical equipment for the waste treatment process and supporting systems. The ideal candidate will have solid experience in process system design and will be capable of developing design documents, including piping and instrument diagrams and equipment data sheets, that incorporate the applicable design and nuclear safety requirements. You will be interfacing and coordinating with other engineering disciplines and the client in the development of the design. The primary role of the Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer is to be part of the team designing the system and specifying the equipment to meet the applicable requirements. This may involve providing direction to Designers and Technologists. The position coordinates within the engineering group and other disciplines and groups in developing the detailed system design and equipment selection in a team environment. You will resolve technical issues related to the discipline, including any required interface with other disciplines, groups, suppliers, and the customer. You will support the associated safety analyses and hazards evaluations as well as ensure the work is performed to the high-quality standards for nuclear facilities in full compliance with the schedule. In addition, it will be required that the candidate have excellent communication skills (both verbal and written).

Qualifications – Education:

• Grade 25 - BS degree in Mechanical, Nuclear, or Chemical Engineering from an accredited university or college with 6 years of progressive related experience.

• Grade 26 - BS degree in Mechanical, Nuclear, or Chemical Engineering from an accredited university or college with 9 years of progressive related experience.

• Related experience for either grade includes, but is not limited to, experience in Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID) development fluid system design, hydraulic, heat transfer, and thermodynamic calculations, and equipment specification and design development for waste processing, nuclear, refinery, power, or chemical process facilities.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience in working with procedures meeting quality assurance programs such as ASME-NQA-1, MIL-Q-9858A, or ISO-9000.

• Knowledge of industry and regulatory guides, codes, and standards such as ASME B31.3 and ASME AG-1.

• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal).

• Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office suite.

• Professional registration in Mechanical, Nuclear, or Chemical Engineering (preferred).

• Experience in fluid system design in a DOE or commercial nuclear facilities (preferred).

• US Citizenship Required.
