This is a rare opportunity for a new graduate or early-career engineer to join a top-tier engineering organization supporting safe, sustainable, zero-emission nuclear energy.

From day one, you'll be immersed in real, high-impact engineering work, learning directly from industry experts while contributing to technically complex structural designs that support critical infrastructure across the country.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Work on mission-critical nuclear and infrastructure projects

Learn directly from leading structural and nuclear engineering experts

Clear career progression with mentorship and structured development

Hands-on exposure to concrete, steel, and foundation design

Long-term stability with a highly respected engineering organization

Competitive benefits, generous PTO, and 401(k) match

Review loads, load paths, and overall system behavior

Collaborate with sr engineers and multidisciplinary teams

Participate in customer-facing engineering discussions and technical reviews

Support engineering documentation, reports, and design packages

Engage in structured interviews and ongoing feedback processes with structural leadership

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

Coursework in structural analysis, concrete, and/or steel design (from undergrad)
