Who We Are As the Savannah River Site's management and operations contractor since 2008, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) makes the world safer. With safety and security in the forefront, SRNS develops innovative approaches to deliver on our environmental commitments and nuclear materials challenges; supplies products and services necessary to maintain the nation's nuclear deterrent; secures nuclear materials to prevent unwanted proliferation; and transforms nuclear materials into assets and stable wasteforms.
The SRNS workforce is highly capable, engaged, and adaptable to meet existing and expanding missions. SRNS employees apply superior expertise and innovative solutions to complex and challenging national and global issues. We have the knowledge to address a range of national and international nuclear issues. We make the world safer - and you can, too. What You'll Do in This Position Provide technical oversight and engineering support for a facility by managing engineering programs, schedules, budget, personnel, and equipment to support facility startup and to ensure safe, efficient operation of nuclear facilities. Control the technical baseline through approval authority of procedures, technical reports, engineering calculations and design modifications. Serve as the primary engineering interface for resolution of daily facility issues and prioritize assignments to support overall facility objectives. Serve as the facility engineering interface with SRNL, Nuclear and Criticality Safety Engineering, Design Agency, and with external groups such as DOE-Technical and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB). Ensure work is performed in compliance with the E7 Manual, Conduct of Engineering, along with all other applicable Engineering codes and standards. Serve as the primary interface for the Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) and Technical Safety Requirements (TSR) to resolve implementation issues raised which impact facility safety or schedule.
The primary responsibility is to perform and manage the Design Authority role for a facility. This entails many specific duties including:
-Monitor operations to ensure nuclear facility safety is maintained, and that activities are performed in accordance with industrial safety, process safety, engineering, environmental and quality requirements
-Review and approve proposed activities for compliance with established engineering principles, safety documentation, design basis requirements, and regulations relating to environment, safety, and security
-Ensure Configuration Management procedures are properly adhered to in executing engineering tasks to maintain the technical baseline
-Execute design authority by review and approval of process and equipment
system improvements (including new technology) to improve safety, maintainability, product quality, system quality, system efficiency, and environmental compliance.
-Anticipate daily facility engineering support requirements and direct those personnel as required to accomplish tasks in a safe, efficient, timely and cost-effective manner
-Assess the effectiveness of the organization and implement improvements where appropriate
The Engineering manager serves as the primary point of contact for all technical issues that arise as part of day-to-day operations or longer-term program or mission work. As such, a key responsibility is to serve in an interface role with many customers concurrently.
-Interact with Operations, Maintenance, Work Control, Quality, Radiological Control, Procedures and Training, along with internal and external engineering groups to understand their needs and develop the required engineering support objectives
-Interface with the facility and other technical support organizations as required to communicate needs and assignment of appropriate priority
-Interface with SRNL/EES on technical issues, flow sheet development, and equipment needs
-Participate in the development of key facility milestones and objectives, including Performance Based Incentives (PBI), and direct engineering resources to accomplish established goals
-Routinely monitor progress against objectives, determine recovery actions needed to maintain schedules, and proactively inform management of substantial obstacles when feasible recovery actions are inadequate
-Clearly and consistently communicate to upper management, and DOE/DNFSB personnel, to ensure understanding of the impacts of ongoing issues and emerging issue strategies
-Actively participate on facility review teams to provide technical expertise (Facility Operational Safety Committee, Facility Radiological Assessment Team, etc.) and on Senior Supervisory Watch to ensure disciplined execution of facility procedures and requirements as requested by facility management.
As a member of the Engineering Leadership team, another key responsibility is the qualification and development of personnel:
-Maintain a trained, qualified, and motivated staff of engineers while developing personnel to fulfill their highest potential
-Support the training program by providing technical reviews/approvals of training materials, and by participating as a member of Operations oral boards and Engineering oral assessments.
-Provide the personalized direction required to compensate for the low experience level of newer engineers and effectively leverage the experienced professionals to provide maximum benefit to the group
-Utilize existing tools and processes such as the Human Capital Management Plan and Gap Analysis to identify critical positions, candidates for those positions, and developmental opportunities to prepare individuals for their next challenging assignment
-Conduct periodic performance reviews incorporating individual career goals
