This Project Engineer will also engage with Design Engineers and System Engineers to develop technical solutions.

The selected candidate will facilitate and champion the design development, design review, and design acceptance while working with internal and external subject matter experts. They will engage with Work Execution and Construction Management to implement design and will manage change control to the approved design by managing the engineering response to deviations when applicable. During all steps and phases of the project, the Project Engineer is expected to ensure the technical solutions continue to meet the facility user’s needs. At the completion of the project, the Project Engineer will be responsible for close-out activities, collecting all documentation, test reports, designs, drawings, etc. generated during the lifespan of the project and compiling them in accordance with LANL’s Document Control mandates.

The Project Engineer may be expected to work on projects both inside and outside the nuclear facility footprint. Projects can vary from modifications to accredited nuclear safety systems, to renovations of office spaces, and everything in between. Regardless of project size, complexity, duration, or cost, the selected candidate will be expected to be the primary champion and facilitator of all technical aspects of the project and will be responsible for the delivery and maintenance of high-quality technical design documentation throughout the entire life of the project. Position typically requires a degree in an engineering discipline from an accredited college or university and 10 years experience.

This position will work with internal (LANL) and external (subcontract) resources to execute projects and will have a direct impact on the United States’ nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship and nuclear weapons modernization programs.
