Senior Project / Water Engineer

• Performs specific and moderate portions of a broader assignment of an experienced heavy water engineer, with expertise in deuterium oxide systems and specialized nuclear applications. Gathers and correlates heavy water engineering data using established procedures, including isotopic analysis, purity assessments, and system performance metrics. Works on detailed engineering assignments involving heavy water reactor calculations, tritium management, and specialized testing protocols. Proposes approaches to solve new heavy water engineering challenges using modifications of standard procedures or methods developed in previous assignments. Identifies discrepancies in heavy water system results and recommends corrective actions. Provides technical guidance to entry-level engineers on heavy water handling, safety protocols, and operational procedures. Performs work in accordance with agreed upon budget and schedule with little supervision, maintaining compliance with heavy water regulatory standards. Independently performs all tasks necessary to complete primary design elements for heavy water engineering works, including system optimization and safety analysis. Performance at this level requires developmental experience in a professional heavy water engineering position.
