Position Summary

System One is seeking a hands-on Nuclear Designer with experience in Mechanical, Civil/Structural, or Electrical disciplines to support both operating nuclear facilities and next-generation SMR projects.

This is a true design-focused role, responsible for developing high-quality drawings and models based on engineering requirements, field conditions, and plant configuration. Candidates must be comfortable performing field walkdowns, validating as-built conditions, and translating real-world data into accurate design deliverables within a highly regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and revise design drawings and 3D models based on engineering inputs and field data
  • Translate engineering requirements into constructible design packages
  • Utilize tools such as AutoCAD, MicroStation (commercial nuclear), and SolidWorks (SMR projects)
  • Perform field walkdowns to verify dimensions, routing, and equipment interfaces
  • Validate as-built conditions and resolve discrepancies between design and field
  • Collaborate with engineering, construction, and plant teams to resolve design issues
  • Support plant modifications, upgrades, and design changes
  • Ensure compliance with nuclear QA programs, codes, and standards
  • Maintain configuration control and support document management processes

Required Qualifications

  • Associate’s degree or higher in Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Electrical, or related field
  • 5+ years of design experience in nuclear or highly regulated industries
  • Proficiency with:
    • AutoCAD
    • MicroStation
    • SolidWorks
  • Ability to interpret engineering intent and produce accurate designs
  • Hands-on experience with field walkdowns and plant validation
  • Willingness to travel to project sites as required
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a procedure-driven, QA environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting commercial nuclear plants or SMR projects
  • Familiarity with codes and standards (ASME, IEEE, ACI, AISC)
  • Experience with design modifications and plant upgrades
  • Knowledge of plant systems, layouts, and constructability
  • Experience working under NQA-1 or similar QA programs
  • Prior or active unescorted nuclear access

Work Environment

  • Combination of design office work and field execution
  • Work performed at operating nuclear plants, construction sites, or design centers
  • Must be able to pass background checks, drug screening, and nuclear access requirements

Additional Notes

  • Candidates must be true designers (not just CAD operators) with the ability to support the full design modification process
  • Strong understanding of the nuclear design change process is critical, including standard design change workflows
  • Opportunities available across multiple major utilities including Duke, Constellation, Entergy, NextEra, and Southern
