About the position

We are excited to announce our new offices at 2 North Central Ave., Phoenix, which is more centrally located. Nuclear Power is a carbon-free energy source. Our nuclear power generation clients are digitizing their existing power plants and building new nuclear power plants, including small modular reactors (SMR). This expansion has led to an increased demand for skilled professionals in the Instrumentation and Controls Engineering group. As a result, Sargent & Lundy is seeking several I&C Engineers to join our team. This is a senior-level design engineering position that offers a variety of interesting and challenging opportunities in nuclear Instrument and Controls Engineering, providing an excellent opportunity to advance your career. In this role, you will interface with discipline engineers and designers on the Project Team, as well as with clients to ensure that all client requirements are satisfied. You will work on major process controls engineering projects in areas such as Digital Systems, including PLC, DCS, touchscreen displays, network switches, and control systems. Your responsibilities will include developing Functional Requirement and Procurement Specifications for instrumentation and control systems for nuclear power plants, conducting process instrumentation replacement evaluation reports, and preparing documentation for design input for drawing production, including cable block diagrams and schematics. Additionally, you will interface with vendors and prepare equipment purchase specifications, prepare reports and studies that present technical information clearly and concisely to meet client requirements, and attend client meetings while performing site walkdowns to ensure client satisfaction with our work product. As a senior engineer, you will also provide guidance and mentorship in the development of less experienced nuclear instrumentation and controls design engineers.
