Engineering Assistant Manager - Design

Centrus Energy Corp. • Oak Ridge, TN • 12h ago

Summary

Centrus is seeking an Assistant Engineering Manager to help lead daily Design Engineering activities and provide continuity of leadership when the Engineering Manager is unavailable. This role will support the AC100 Machine Design, Gas Test Stand Project, and other Design Team priorities.

Daily tasks will require working across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Project Management teams to ensure technical work and design changes are completed safely, accurately, and compliantly. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can coordinate complex day to day execution of engineering activities, resolve issues, and maintain strong change-control discipline.

What You'll Be Doing

You will assist the Engineering Manager by coordinating daily engineering work, setting priorities, and providing technical leadership for Design Engineering projects and manufacturing support activities. You will help ensure designs, drawings, specifications, and technical documentation are complete, accurate, and ready to support project and production needs.

Your work includes managing engineering changes resulting from the ESO process, manufacturing feedback, nonconformances, and project requirements. You will coordinate the review, approval, documentation, and implementation of Engineering Change Records (ECRs), Material Condition Reports (MCRs), and Design Deviation Requests (DRs).

You will partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Operations, and Project Management to resolve technical issues, support troubleshooting and corrective actions, track engineering commitments, and keep leadership informed of project status, risks, and resource needs.
