Facility Engineer

Key Duties & Responsibilities

• • Serve as the single technical owner of the PWR-5 facility configuration — maintaining an accurate, continuously updated record of all systems, structures, and components
  • Build, own, and maintain the Master Equipment List (MEL) for the PWR-5 facility, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and version control at all times
  • Develop and manage a comprehensive maintenance management plan covering preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance across all facility systems
  • Evaluate, document, and justify proposed changes to facility configuration, systems, or components — ensuring all modifications are properly reviewed, validated, and approved before implementation
  • Act as the primary technical liaison between the engineering and operations teams, ensuring operational realities are reflected in engineering documentation and vice versa
  • Support DOE compliance requirements related to facility configuration management, change control, and maintenance program documentation
  • Conduct regular facility walkdowns and system reviews to identify discrepancies between as-built conditions and design documentation, and drive resolution
  • Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and internal teams on facility modifications, equipment procurement, and maintenance activities
  • Maintain a running log of all facility configuration changes, open action items, and maintenance history, providing regular status updates to engineering and operations leadership
  • Support incident reviews, root cause analyses, and corrective action programs as they relate to facility systems and equipment

Qualifications

• • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, nuclear, electrical, or systems engineering, or a related field required
  • 10+ years of experience in operations engineering, plant engineering, or a related role, preferably in a nuclear, power generation, or highly regulated industrial environment
  • Strong systems-level thinking with demonstrated ability to understand and document complex system interactions and interdependencies
  • Hands-on plant or facility experience — must be comfortable working in and around operating or construction-phase industrial facilities
  • Meticulous attention to detail; proven track record of maintaining rigorous configuration and equipment records in a high-stakes environment
  • Familiarity with configuration management principles, change control processes, and maintenance management programs
  • Experience working within DOE, NRC, or equivalent regulatory frameworks is highly preferred
  • Strong written communication skills; ability to produce clear, audit-ready technical documentation
  • Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and drive tasks to closure without close supervision
  • Willingness to travel frequently to the RELLIS campus and other facility sites as required
