PTS is looking for a Lead Electrical Controls Engineer with experience in Nuclear Power Plant Design and Modifications to join a top Engineering & Consultancy firm. This role will play a crucial part in design and analysis, as well as mentorship within the team.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of proposals and support other engineers with creating deliverables for nuclear projects in the Electrical, Controls, and Digital areas.
• Collaborate with the Project Engineer and Project Manager on multi-discipline projects, and step in as the Electrical or I&C Project Engineer when needed.
• Serve as a technical lead for the client—guiding discipline-specific teams and offering your expertise in industry-standard design practices and calculations for commercial nuclear upgrades.
• Work closely with engineers and designers to put together design change packages for modifications at operating nuclear plants and other related facilities.
• Confidently prepare and review engineering change packages (ECs) to ensure they're accurate and complete.
• Develop scoping documents and proposals that define the extent of Electrical, I&C, and Digital modifications, along with estimating the engineering and design effort required.
• Perform field walkdowns to verify the existing setup of plant structures, systems, and components.
• Handle a variety of Digital I&C design tasks, including updating system requirements, network architecture, control logic, and HMI to support design change documentation.
• Create cyber security assessments and classify components in line with 10CFR73.54 and NEI 08-09, making sure critical digital assets are properly documented before presenting them to the client's Cyber Security Assessment Team for review and approval.

Position Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Controls Engineering from an accredited school (required)
• A master's or other advanced engineering degree is a plus
• PE license is a big bonus—and if you don't have it yet, you'll need to be able to get it within a year of starting (required)
• At least 8 years of design experience, with 4 of those specifically in nuclear plant modification work (DOE or commercial)
• Experience working with several operating nuclear clients and vendors is a big plus
• Having unescorted access—or previous on-site experience with it—is a big advantage. If not, you'll need to qualify for access at an active or under-construction nuclear plant (required)
• Familiar with the industry-standard design procedure IP‑ENG‑001 (required)
• Solid understanding of digital design practices, especially NISP‑EN‑04 (required)
• Background in machine design is a nice bonus
