This role is responsible for the development of the plant site layout and civil/structural design for buildings and structures of the Xe-100 plant. The role will be responsible for the overall design of multiple civil/structural buildings and structures across the plant site and will work collaboratively with a multi-disciplined team of other engineers, suppliers, and project stakeholders to coordinate the successful design of the structural buildings and structures. This work is ultimately aligned to support key objectives in developing a design that has advantages in sustainability, economics, reliability, and safety relative to current day power generation units.

Job Profile Tasks/Responsibilities

• Support team members with the execution of the core tasks and responsibilities listed in the Job Profile Task/Responsibilities under guided supervision.
• Coordinate with engineering team members, partners, and suppliers to facilitate the convergence of efforts, allow design closure, provide design assurance, and deliver high quality engineering work products.
• Support development of plant site/layout and design of buildings/structures through final design and construction of the Xe-100 plant.
• Perform, manage, and oversee engineering and construction of the site and building structures for the Xe-100 project. This includes planning, monitoring, and directing of the complete engineering efforts through all development life cycles.
• Apply engineering principles, codes and standards and best practices to design the site, buildings and structures for hazards including seismic, flood and wind.
