Position Purpose:
Calcine Disposition Project Engineer:
The Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) is crucial to the DOE EM mission, focusing on safe management of legacy materials and supporting long-term disposition efforts. System Engineering oversees upcoming calcine disposition tasks, upholds design requirements and nuclear safety standards, and delivers engineering support for ongoing operations.
Initially, this effort is to develop, evaluate, and compare multiple viable concepts for the effective long‑term management of the calcine waste, ensuring that each option is assessed for technical feasibility, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and overall lifecycle performance.
Responsibilities include working with Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) as well as activities related to the Calcine Disposition Project. This role ensures the secure handling, treatment, and packaging of calcine material for eventual long-term storage. The engineer participates in projects aimed at creating, implementing, and sustaining systems and processes involved in retrieving, processing, and preparing calcine for final disposal.
The position requires creating and maintaining accurate technical information across all documents—such as drawings, records, and operating procedures—for assigned projects and systems. As the Technical Authority, the engineer is accountable for system design specifications, performance standards, operation, testing, and maintenance.
Minimum Qualification Requirements (Education/Experience):
This is a multi-level posting and the successful candidate will be placed at the appropriate level dependent on depth and breadth of proven experience and skills. At the Idaho Environmental Coalition, compensation decisions are determined using factors such as education, relevant experience, and other credentials.
Required bachelor’s degree in engineering (nuclear, mechanical, chemical, or electrical) or bachelor’s degree in science. Must have 8 years of relevant experience. Nuclear Facility experience desirable.
Salary Grade 15: Bachelors degree plus 2 years experience
Salary Grade 18: Bachelors degree plus 12 years experience
An equivalent combination of education and experience may be substituted for the degree.
