Electrical Engineer
Position Overview We are seeking experienced Electrical Engineer to support engineering projects and plant modification activities at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. The plant is currently implementing significant modernization efforts, including Digital Control System (DCS) upgrades, and requires engineers to assist with design development, system troubleshooting, and performance improvement initiatives. This role involves applying advanced technical knowledge to complex engineering and construction projects while supporting plant reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance. The engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop solutions, implement plant modifications, and improve system performance. Key Responsibilities Apply in-depth engineering knowledge to complex electrical or I&C engineering projects and plant modifications. Develop and support troubleshooting plans for plant systems and equipment. Assist in the development and implementation of strategies and concepts to enhance Digital Control System (DCS) performance and associated control logic. Formulate, coordinate, and implement approved DCS modifications and system improvements to enhance plant reliability, performance, and productivity. Review and evaluate engineering designs, technical documentation, and modification packages to ensure compliance with plant specifications, regulatory requirements, and industry standards. Perform moderately complex engineering analyses and establish baseline performance data for existing equipment and systems. Ensure engineering design, project controls, schedules, and oversight activities remain technically sound, cost-effective, and compliant with applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. Coordinate with engineering, maintenance, operations, and project teams to support plant upgrades and modification projects. Provide technical guidance and direction to junior engineers or project team members as needed. Research emerging technologies and make recommendations to management regarding potential applications to improve plant operations. Interface with internal stakeholders, contractors, consultants, and regulatory agencies as required.
