Duties may include:
Assume responsibility for completion of detail phases of assigned projects under direction of project/and cognizant engineering; provide detailed solutions to assigned engineering problems; make engineering and design calculations applying basic engineering principles, theories and concepts; prepare technical reports and other technical documents such as procedures and operation and maintenance manuals; prepare cost estimates related to assigned technical projects; prepare engineered work packages under supervision for construction or modification of equipment and facilities; analyze specific equipment or system failures of limited scope and recommend repairs, modifications, or appropriate corrective actions through application of basic engineering principles; provide general functional requirements to perform basic design of new equipment/systems or modification of existing equipment/systems; provide engineering support to other groups; make technical presentations.
PROJECT INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility, managed and operated by Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC (NWP). The WIPP is an engineered repository, designed to permanently dispose waste contaminated with trace amounts of radioactive transuranic elements from research and production of nuclear weapons in the U.S. DOE defense program(s).
WIPP is located in southeastern New Mexico, 32 miles east of Carlsbad. Project facilities include disposal rooms excavated in an ancient and stable salt formation 2,150 feet underground.
We are seeking the professional services of experienced facility system engineers (Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, Nuclear, Fire Protection, Instrumentation and Controls (I&C), etc.) to assist in the development and implementation of the Cognizant System Engineer (CSE) program as required by DOE Order 420.1C, Facility Safety.
The activities under this scope of work will include both the performance of the CSE duties, and the coaching/mentoring of CSEs.
We are seeking professional and technical services of experienced design and project engineers and fire technicians to assist in the execution of design and project engineering functions in support of the WIPP mission. Engineers will execute engineering responsibility for conduct of one or more projects applying standard problem-solving techniques and engineering principles, concepts, theories, and methods over Plant Systems. Disciplines needed include Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Instrumentation & Controls, Computer Hardware/Software Instrument & Controls, Mining Engineer, Construction Engineer, Mechanical Mining Equipment, Civil, Nuclear, Project Engineers, Senior Project Engineer, and Fire Protection Engineers and Technicians and potentially a small number combined from among materials engineer, welding engineer, procurement engineer, nuclear engineer, nuclear safety analyses, chemical engineer, as well as one or two multi-disciplined (proficient in a range of engineering disciplines and in addition are leaders broadly experienced in Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance) principle, senior principle, consulting, or senior consulting engineers from among the previously listed engineering discipline areas.
The places of performance will be NWP or DOE Facilities in Carlsbad, NM and the WIPP Site. Work tasks may require travel to other DOE sites or vender facilities.
