Mid-Level Power Uprate Engineer in , us

Overview

ENERCON is seeking a Mid‑Level Power Uprate Analysis Engineer to join our growing team of nuclear professionals. In this role you will contribute to the evaluation and implementation of power uprates at nuclear facilities, helping to increase reactor output safely and efficiently. You will work alongside experienced engineers, gaining exposure to a wide range of technical challenges and project scopes. This is an exceptional opportunity for engineers who aspire to grow into advanced technical and leadership roles.

Power uprates span the entire plant and typically involve major upgrades such as replacing large pump motors, generators, high‑pressure turbines, and feedwater heaters. As such, this role provides a comprehensive understanding of plant systems and their interdependencies.

We are committed to supporting your career development—whether you are building toward technical specialization, project leadership, or future management roles. This role offers a unique opportunity to work alongside senior subject matter experts, receive dedicated mentorship, and be groomed as a future power uprate specialist. Over time, you will play a key role in training others and leading studies and follow‑up modifications, whatever career path you choose.

Responsibilities

• Conduct detailed engineering studies to assess available design margins across nuclear plant systems, including reactor core, steam generators, feedwater systems, and electrical infrastructure.
• Evaluate the impact of increased power levels on plant systems, components, and structures; identify potential bottlenecks or limitations and propose engineering solutions.
• Determine necessary plant modifications to accommodate the new power level, including mechanical, electrical and I&C changes; develop scopes of work and support cost‑benefit analyses.
• Work closely with design engineering, licensing, operations and maintenance teams to ensure alignment on uprate strategy and implementation.
• Prepare technical reports, design change packages and presentations for internal stakeholders and regulatory bodies; maintain accurate records of evaluations and decisions.
• Support engagement with external vendors and contractors for specialized studies, equipment upgrades and implementation planning.
• Collaborate with senior engineers and project teams to deliver high‑quality technical solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical, Civil, or related discipline) from an ABET accredited university.
• 3–10 years of experience performing nuclear power design engineering.
• 1–2 years of experience performing nuclear power design engineering related to uprates.
• PE license or progress toward licensure is a plus.
• Experience evaluating large‑scale power systems following industry‑accepted electrical codes and standards such as IEEE, IEC, NEC and NERC; preferably in nuclear.
• Proficiency in understanding highly technical topics in the field of engineering using textbooks, white papers and industry studies as a basis and guidance.
• Experience performing engineering studies and analysis in one or more of the following disciplines:
  • Electrical: load flow, short circuit, arc flash, equipment protection, sequence of operation and transient stability.
  • Mechanical: thermal‑hydraulic evaluations, system flow modeling, pump and valve sizing, and stress analysis.
  • Civil/Structural: structural load assessments, seismic and wind evaluations, foundation design reviews and support modifications for uprate‑related equipment.
