Job Description
Are you seeking a position with autonomy, significant
responsibility, and a career broadening hands-on experience?? This
position offers candidates an approximate 1-2 year assignment at
the Knolls (NY) or Bettis (PA) Laboratory prior to transferring
into NNL's Field Engineering Program for a 3-5 year assignment in a
Shipyard. The Laboratory assignment is intended to give a candidate
experience in NNL's fleet support engineering community; this
includes providing reactor plant engineering support (problem
resolution and improvement initiatives) for aircraft carrier and
submarine platforms throughout the life cycle of the ships (e.g.,
new construction, reactor servicing, maintenance availabilities,
and emergent problem resolution). Candidates would be expected to
relocate to the Knolls or Bettis Laboratory for approximately two
years before commencing training and subsequent relocation to a
shipyard.
NNL maintains field offices in shipyards that conduct Naval Nuclear
Propulsion Program work. RPCO engineers are the on-site
representatives of NNL and component supply organizations in these
shipyards. The selected candidate will provide engineering support
and independent oversight of work associated with installation,
reactor servicing, testing, and modification of reactor plant
systems, components, and safety systems. RPCO engineers are engaged
during nuclear work and operations and are expected to apply sound
engineering principles and judgement to influence and provide
feedback to on-site management and partner organizations.
Successful completion of a job-specific qualification is required
for this position. Training associated with this qualification is
expected to take approximately one year depending on previous
experience and will be conducted at the Knolls or Bettis
Laboratory. At the conclusion of qualification, the prospective
RPCO engineer will be expected to demonstrate both an adequate
understanding of requirements and the ability to function in a
field location in a technical support and oversight capacity.
Required Combination of Knowledge and Skill
BS degree in engineering or Bachelor's degree in a science related
field from an accredited college or university required.
Must be willing to relocate to shipyard and back to Laboratory
after completion of 3-5 year assignment.

Strong leadership and mentoring ability.
Eagerness to learn and adapt to varying tasks and
responsibilities.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently while also supporting team goals
