Some Typical Duties & Responsibilities Include:

This posting is for a manager position in F-Area Engineering, within the Facility and System Engineering group, overseeing a team of design authority engineers.
This position provides technical oversight and engineering support for the F/H Laboratory, 235-F, and F-Canyon facilities. This includes managing engineering programs, schedules, budget, personnel, and equipment to support deactivation of the F-Area Complex facilities, and to ensure safe, efficient operation of these nuclear facilities. Responsibilities also include control of the technical baseline through approval authority of procedures, technical reports, engineering calculations and design modifications.

F-Area Engineering serves as the facility engineering interface with projects, Nuclear and Criticality Safety Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, and with external groups such as the Department of Energy (DOE) and Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board (DNFSB). This position must ensure work is performed in compliance with Manual E7, Conduct of Engineering, along with other applicable Engineering codes and standards. This position must also serve as the primary interface for the Documented Safety Analysis for Interim Operations (DSAIO), Basis for Interim Operations (BIO), and Technical Surveillance requirements (TSR) to resolve implementation issues raised which impact facility safety or schedule.
The primary responsibility is to perform and manage the Design Authority role for the facility. This entails many specific duties including:
-Monitor operations to ensure nuclear facility safety is maintained, and that activities are performed in accordance with industrial safety, process safety, engineering, environmental and quality requirements
-Review and approve proposed activities for compliance with established engineering principles, safety documentation, design basis requirements, and regulations relating to environment, safety, and security
-Ensure Configuration Management procedures are properly adhered to in executing engineering tasks to maintain the technical baseline
-Execute design authority by review and approval of process and equipment system improvements (including new technology) to improve safety, maintainability, product quality, system quality, system efficiency, and environmental compliance
-Anticipate daily facility engineering support requirements and direct those personnel as required to accomplish tasks in a safe, efficient, timely and cost-effective manner
-Assess the effectiveness of the organization and implement improvements where appropriate

The Engineering manager serves as the primary point of contact for all technical issues that arise as part of day-to-day operations or longer-term program or mission work. As such, a key responsibility is to serve in an interface role with many customers concurrently.

-Interface with the facility and other technical support organizations as required to communicate needs and assignment of appropriate priority
-Participate in the development of key facility milestones and objectives, including Performance Based Incentives (PBI), and direct engineering resources to accomplish established goals
-Routinely monitor progress against objectives, determine recovery actions needed to maintain schedules, and proactively inform management of substantial obstacles when feasible recovery actions are inadequate
-Clearly and consistently communicate to upper management, and DOE/DNFSB personnel, to ensure understanding of the impacts of ongoing issues and emerging issue strategies
-Actively participate on facility review teams to provide technical expertise (Facility Operational Safety Committee, Facility Radiological Assessment Team, etc.) and on Senior Supervisory Watch to ensure disciplined execution of facility procedures and requirements as requested by facility management.

As a member of the Engineering Leadership team, another key responsibility is the qualification and development of personnel:
-Maintain a trained, qualified, and motivated staff of engineers while developing personnel to fulfill their highest potential
-Support the training program by providing technical reviews/approvals of training materials, and by participating as a member of Operations oral boards and Engineering oral assessments.
-Provide the personalized direction required to compensate for the low experience level of newer engineers and effectively leverage the experienced professionals to provide maximum benefit to the group
-Conduct periodic performance reviews incorporating individual career goals
