Nuclear Operations Engineer

Welcome to the future of nuclear energy, where Westinghouse Electric Company is leading the field with expertise and innovation to shape the power of tomorrow. At Westinghouse, innovation is in our DNA.  We are creative. We think differently. We reimagine the possible across the nuclear industry every day.

The Nuclear Operations group at Westinghouse focuses on all operations topics, supporting worldwide utilities. Our team of experts includes Senior Reactor Operators, Reactor Engineers, Procedure Writers and Test Engineers. You will work on the new generation of reactors like the AP300 SMR and eVinci microreactor, the new fleet of AP1000® and the operating fleet from all over the world. Building your skills based on actual operating plant experience, combined with new plant development, will be a major accelerator for your career in the nuclear industry.

About our team:

As an SRO Engineer, Nuclear Operations you will report to a Supervisor and be located either at our Madrid office or our at Vila-Seca location with a hybrid work schedule.

Many of our team members either joined our group as qualified reactor operators or earned an SRO certification with us. Our experience as reactor operators is at the core of our efforts to define and improve how nuclear power plants are operated. We are developing the operating procedures executed by reactor operators in reactor control rooms and the commissioning test procedures that are bringing new plants from construction, to critical, then to full power operation. Nuclear Operations leads the delivery of modern nuclear instrumentation technologies, such as the Vanadium Fixed Incore Instrumentation System. We offer an array of reactor engineering services, including startup physics testing, nuclear instrumentation diagnostics, fuel transfer and cask loading optimization, and much more.

Our team has supported the commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry, so Innovation is part of our group's culture, and we are always looking for the next creative idea to improve operating plants.

About the role:

When you join the Nuclear Operations team, you'll find a career that's as dynamic as it is diverse.

• You will acquire knowledge about integrated plant operations to develop the way control room operators run plants with operating procedures.
• You will then validate scenarios in control room simulators, before they are used to train reactor operators and implemented in plants worldwide.
• You will work with professionals in the industry who will teach you the technical and professional aspects of working in the nuclear industry.
• Your scope will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.
• As an author of operating and test procedures, you may have the opportunity to support the commissioning of new plants worldwide.
