Senior Geotechnical Engineer - Nuclear Site Development

Job Description Summary The Senior Geotechnical Engineer for Nuclear Site Development will be part of a multi-discipline Civil/Structural technical team of dedicated engineers and scientists responsible for the application of GEH new plant technology (e.g. BWRX-300 Standard Plant) to each prospective customer site, including comprehensive engineering input to the development of new plant proposals, early works agreements and new product offerings. In this position, you will serve as the technical authority for ground-structure interactions related to SMR site characterization and foundation design for new nuclear plant sites. You will be responsible for subsurface investigations, seismic site response analysis, and the design/monitoring of critical foundations. The results of your work will ensure the geological integrity of the site for the life of the plant, and will directly feed safety analysis reports submitted to associated regulatory bodies. Leveraging your subject matter expertise in geotechnical engineering and site characterization, you will support the development of detailed statements of work for current and subsequent project phases, proposal technical write-ups, engineering estimates, schedule development and risk assessments in support of site selection, site permitting, and construction/operation licensing milestones. Job Description Essential Responsibilities: As a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you will: Lead complex subsurface exploration programs, including geophysical surveys, deep borings, and cross-hole seismic testing. Oversee the design of Seismic Category I foundations, deep soil mixing, or rock anchoring systems required below-grade containment structures. Ensure all geotechnical lab testing and field inspections comply with NQA-1 standards. Provide engineering input and, when needed, technical defense of the Geotechnical and Seismology section of an NRC, or similar international, license application.
