Lead Electrical Engineer

Orano, we're not just powering the future-we're engineering its foundation. As part of our groundbreaking uranium enrichment IKE Program, we're redefining what a sustainable nuclear fuel production looks like for the next generation.

We're seeking a Lead Electrical Engineer to lead the charge in designing and integrating electrical systems to drive complex projects from concept to reality

You'll lead the Electrical engineering scope on a major nuclear project, serving as both a technical expert and a team leader. From design to execution, your work will ensure that what we build is resilient, code-compliant, and built to last - while coordinating closely with a range of disciplines to deliver fully integrated solutions.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with elite engineers and regulatory experts, moving fast, solving hard problems, and making decisions that have real-world consequences. If you're ready to lead at the edge of what's possible in nuclear technology, we want to talk.

Objectives:

* Lead electrical engineering efforts from concept design through installation, testing, and commissioning for high-integrity nuclear infrastructure.
* Design and review electrical systems including power distribution, motor controls, grounding and lighting.
* Oversee electrical engineering work performed by the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, ensuring alignment with project specifications, safety, and quality standards.
* Ensure engineering work meets all applicable codes and standards, including NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and DOE/NRC requirements.
* Develop and approve technical documentation - single-line diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, load calculations, and specifications.
* Provide mentorship and oversight to electrical engineering staff and junior engineers.
* Interface with multidisciplinary teams.
* Evaluate and approve vendor designs and submittals, ensuring technical accuracy and regulatory compliance.
* Support safety and reliability assessments, fault current analyses, and testing protocols.
* Represent Orano in technical reviews, audits, and inspections with regulatory bodies.
* Participate in project planning, cost estimating, scheduling, and risk mitigation strategies.
