Job description

Orano, we’re not just powering the future—we’re engineering its foundation. As part of our groundbreaking uranium enrichment IKE Program, we’re redefining what a sustainable nuclear fuel production looks like for the next generation.

We're seeking a Lead Electrical Engineer to lead the charge in designing and integrating electrical systems to drive complex projects from concept to reality

You’ll lead the Electrical engineering scope on a major nuclear project, serving as both a technical expert and a team leader. From design to execution, your work will ensure that what we build is resilient, code-compliant, and built to last — while coordinating closely with a range of disciplines to deliver fully integrated solutions.

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with elite engineers and regulatory experts, moving fast, solving hard problems, and making decisions that have real-world consequences. If you're ready to lead at the edge of what's possible in nuclear technology, we want to talk.


Key Responsibilities:

Lead electrical engineering efforts from concept design through installation, testing, and commissioning for high-integrity nuclear infrastructure.

Design and review electrical systems including power distribution, motor controls, grounding and lighting.
Oversee electrical engineering work performed by the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, ensuring alignment with project specifications, safety, and quality standards.
Ensure engineering work meets all applicable codes and standards, including NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and DOE/NRC requirements.
Develop and approve technical documentation — single-line diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, load calculations, and specifications.
Provide mentorship and oversight to electrical engineering staff and junior engineers.
Interface with multidisciplinary teams.
Evaluate and approve vendor designs and submittals, ensuring technical accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Support safety and reliability assessments, fault current analyses, and testing protocols.
Represent Orano in technical reviews, audits, and inspections with regulatory bodies.
Participate in project planning, cost estimating, scheduling, and risk mitigation strategies.

Competitive compensation

Health, Dental, and Vision insurance – with generous employer contributions
401(k) with employer matching and contribution amounts

Life insurance and Short- and Long-Term Disability insurance provided by the company
Generous Paid Time Off and holiday schedules
