• Nuclear Facilities Field Engineer 1 $94,500 - $154,600

  The Field Engineer 1 is responsible for ensuring that the technical aspects of construction and maintenance projects are executed in full conformance with the Approved Project Documents by monitoring facility maintenance and construction activities. This is accomplished by providing input during scoping, design, execution, and project closeout to ensure baseline documents are accurate, design documents are adhered to, and as-built configurations are verified.
  
  Field Engineers expedite project execution by identifying issues, coordinating technical solutions, and providing timely guidance to the constructor through approved procedures. The level 1 Field Engineer will require a basic understanding of field engineering principles and have an aptitude to apply these principles throughout the execution of the job. The selected candidate will support our Install Engineering team.

• Nuclear Facilities Field Engineer 2 $104,100 - $172,200

  In addition to what was outlined at the lower level, at this level, the level 2 Field Engineer will require a demonstrated understanding of field engineering principles and have applied these principles on the job.

Shift Work This position will be subject to 24/7 coverage, which will involve working a shift/weekend schedule. Employees may be eligible for shift differential pay when assigned by their manager. Shift/weekend assignments are at the discretion of the manager based on needs for the facilities.
