Description As a member of the civil design team, this position will offer you the opportunity to work with multi‑disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing civil/site and physical layout drawings in a 3‑D model environment and preparing associated 2‑D drawing deliverables and drawing updates. This position is intended to support a new Generation III+ Reactor project with a focus on site grading and drainage design, development of buildings and structures not directly connected to the plant, and coordination of minor HVAC and piping design for those facilities. Responsibilities Work with multi‑disciplined engineering and design project teams in developing civil/site and physical layout drawings in a 3‑D model environment. Perform challenging assignments involving site grading, drainage, earthwork, underground utility layout, access and roadway considerations, and general site development for a new nuclear project. Support the design and layout of buildings and structures not directly connected to the plant, including associated foundations, site interfaces, and utility routing. Coordinate minor HVAC and piping design for support buildings, with the ability to interface effectively with mechanical design and engineering team members. Utilize AVEVA 3D and other applicable 3‑D modeling software tools to generate and develop civil/site design schematics and physical layout deliverables. Participate in the coordination of detailed design phases for all aspects of an integrated design model and provide guidance to other designers and project team members to ensure a complete and timely design. Independently plan and execute design deliverables such as site layout drawings, grading and drainage plans, plot plans, earthwork drawings, underground utility drawings, foundation and support details, and building arrangement drawings. There may be the opportunity to conduct field walkdowns and data gathering activities at client facilities. Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced drafters and designers.

Proficiency with design software tools in executing 3‑D plant and site layout models, including AVEVA 3D experience. Experience reviewing and developing civil/site layout drawings involving grading, drainage, foundations, underground utilities, equipment interfaces, and building support systems. Ability to interface with engineering and design teams of other disciplines in the power plant design process. Experience coordinating civil/site deliverables with mechanical scope, particularly for support buildings and auxiliary facilities. Valued but not required experience Mechanical design experience related to piping, HVAC, equipment arrangement, or support systems for industrial or power facilities. Experience with nuclear new‑build, or other large nuclear site development projects. Experience using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and/or MicroStation software. Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models. Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology, including the ability to relate site, structural, and mechanical systems to a technical design.
