X-energy Careers

Description

• Provide ownership, responsibility, and accountability over technical scope involving the coordination of multiple individual contributors working in a specific area.    
• Provide oversight to subcontractors and vendors for technical design and analysis assignments.
• Support the advancement of the plant site layout and complete design of several Xe-100 civil/structural buildings and structures through final design and construction. 
• Perform, manage, and direct the engineering, development, and construction of various civil/structural buildings and structures for the project; this includes planning, monitoring, and controlling of the complete engineering effort through all the development life cycles.
• Apply civil engineering codes and standards to inform the development and implementation of risk-informed and performance-based structural design criteria.
• Use knowledge and experience of civil/structural engineering analysis principles to inform risk-informed performance-based methods for hazard assessment, including seismic and other hazard fragilities, as informed by probabilistic risk assessment and failure modes effects analysis conducted by other teams.
• Work with construction teams to evaluate sequencing, cost estimations, material quantity estimates, schedule development, and modularization concepts for development of the design towards the implementation of the Xe-100 plant.
• Define, manage, and verify the requirements for civil/structural buildings and structures and develop new concepts that can be implemented in a cost-effective and schedule considerate manner and meet the needs of the future customers/users. Ensure that the requirements of later lifecycle stages are addressed at the correct point in the system design (e.g., constructability, testability, reliability, maintainability, safety, flexibility, interoperability, disposal, etc.).
• Ensure the civil/structural buildings and structures have the capability to perform required functions and satisfy all stated requirements throughout the plant development lifecycle.
• Identify, define, and manage interfaces between diverse engineering and other teams to advance the multi-discipline design for the Xe-100.
• Ensure work complies with all applicable local, national, and international codes, regulations, and quality standards.
• Communicate inputs and performance commitments to Project Leads and/or Project Managers and the matrixed departments that support system project execution (Finance, Subcontracts/Procurement, Engineering, Licensing, Quality/Safety, etc.). This includes activity/delivery schedules, cost estimates, subcontracting requirements, quality requirements, regulatory requirements, deliverable definition, etc.
• Execute system or component performance measures – risk management, scheduling/program planning, document management, cost adherence/variance analysis/earned value, deliverables status, technical performance measures/specification adherence, other.
• Actively supports the safety culture and ensure integration of quality in all relevant processes by complying with the requirements of the Quality Assurance Program.
• Maintain professional demeanor and behavior at all times in all forms of communication.
• Perform other duties as assigned by manager.

• Bachelor’s degree in civil or structural engineering or related degree from an accredited institution.
• Typically, five years of experience in an engineering role required.
• Experience with assessing civil/structural engineering phenomena to inform design of buildings and structures.
• Analytical experience with civil/structural hazard assessment (e.g. by fragility analysis, hand calculations, and/or civil structural design and analysis software programs.)
• Some experience supporting project management duties is preferred.
• Experience directing or interfacing with subcontractors is preferred.
