Thomas Thor, Greenville, NC, United States


Are you ready to drive nuclear infrastructure innovation as a Principal Design Engineer or Process Engineer? Join our client's team in Greenville, United States, where you’ll have a leading role in designing and developing critical utility systems for high-impact projects in the nuclear sector.

About the Role:

This hands-on contract role requires technical expertise and some management skills, allowing you to step in as a Process Lead or Project CAD Coordinator as needed. You’ll be directly involved in complex design and engineering tasks, contributing to the success of large-scale EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects within a dynamic environment.

Key Benefits:

  • Hourly Rate: $70-$90/hr, based on qualifications and location.
  • Work Structure: Onsite preferred, with the potential for up to 25% hybrid remote flexibility (one week a month on site required).
  • Compensation Package: Healthcare (Medical, Dental, Vision), PTO, some paid holidays, and unmatched 401(k).

Core Responsibilities:

  • Process Engineers: Design, develop, and lead the technical requirements of critical utility systems, handling technical analyses and complex problem-solving aligned with project specs. Occasionally step in to lead the Process team.

  • Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering (minimum) for Engineers
  • EPC Experience (preferably with A&E firms, such as Fluor)
  • Hands-On Role: Prior management roles in the last 10–20 years may not align; this role requires direct, hands-on technical engagement.

  • Communication & Collaboration: Able to effectively liaise with management, colleagues, and vendors.
  • Computer Skills: Intermediate competence in standard office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • 3D Modeling Experience: Proficiency in CAD software for EPC projects is essential.

Preferred Qualities:

  • PE license and familiarity with ASME NQA-1 standards.
  • Proven experience in EPC services for large industrial ventures.
