Principal Power Uprate Analysis Engineer

Overview

Join ENERCON as a Principal Power Uprate Analysis Engineer and play a key role in advancing nuclear energy solutions across the country. In this leadership‑level position, you’ll leverage your expertise to guide complex engineering projects, mentor junior staff, and contribute to the safe and efficient implementation of power uprates at nuclear facilities. We invest in our people—whether your career path leads toward technical mastery, project leadership, or people management, we provide the resources and support to help you grow.

We’re looking for engineers who bring a combination of technical depth, leadership capability, and a passion for nuclear innovation. Ideal candidates will have prior experience supporting power uprate projects and a strong foundation in nuclear systems and plant operations. We encourage you to explore this exciting opportunity and become part of our innovative and impactful team—where your work will help bring more nuclear power to the market.

This role can be based out of any of our nuclear office locations, and remote work will be considered for strong candidates not located near an office.

As a Principal Engineer, you’ll be a subject matter expert in power uprate evaluations and implementation. You’ll work on dynamic, high‑impact projects that require deep knowledge of nuclear systems engineering, plant design analysis, and design modifications. Your work will directly contribute to increasing reactor output while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.

• Legacy & Leadership:
  Pass on expertise and shape the next generation of nuclear professionals. Your insights will influence future engineers in tackling complex challenges.
• Strategic Impact:
  Power uprates are key to the U.S. clean energy strategy, increasing reactor output and extending plant lifespans.
• Influence &
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with senior stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and multidisciplinary teams to guide high‑impact projects.
• Mentorship & Culture Building:
  Foster a culture of excellence, innovation, and continuous learning.
• Design Margin Evaluation:
  Conduct detailed engineering studies to assess design margins across nuclear plant systems.
• System Impact Analysis:
  Evaluate the impact of increased power levels on plant systems and components.
• Modification Identification & Scoping:
  Determine necessary plant modifications and develop scopes of work.
• Cross-Disciplinary Coordination:
  Ensure alignment across design engineering, licensing, operations, and maintenance.
• Documentation & Reporting:
  Prepare technical reports and presentations for stakeholders and regulatory bodies.
• Vendor & Contractor Interface:
  Support engagement with external vendors and contractors for specialized studies.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical or related discipline) from an ABET‑accredited university.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in nuclear engineering, with a focus on power uprates.
• PE license or progress toward licensure is a plus.
• Experience evaluating large‑scale power generation systems following industry‑accepted electrical codes and standards such as IEEE, IEC, NEC, and NERC; preferably in nuclear.
• Proficiency in understanding highly technical topics using textbooks, white papers, and industry studies.
• Experience in 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, transient stability.
  • Mechanical: thermal‑hydraulic evaluations, system flow modeling, pump and valve sizing, stress analysis.
  • Civil/Structural: structural load assessments, seismic and wind evaluations, foundation design reviews, and support modifications for uprates.
