What is a construction startup?

A Construction Startup job involves overseeing the initial stages of a construction project, ensuring that all necessary permits, plans, and resources are in place before full-scale construction begins.

Professionals in this role help streamline project execution by addressing potential issues early on.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a construction startup?

To thrive in a Construction Startup, you need strong project management skills, a solid understanding of construction methods, and business acumen, often supported by a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with project management software (like Procore or Buildertrend), estimating tools, and relevant safety certifications is highly valuable.

Posted 7 days ago


Job description

Description

SHINE Technologies is seeking a Mechanical Engineering Manager to lead the mechanical engineering organization supporting the Chrysalis Project - a first-of-a-kind facility designed to expand access to critical medical isotopes used in the diagnosis of serious disease. This is a highly visible engineering leadership role with the opportunity to shape a major nuclear technology program from design through construction, startup, and operational readiness.

Reporting to the Vice President of Engineering, you'll lead engineers and technical contributors responsible for the design, execution, and delivery of mechanical engineering work supporting facility development, construction, startup, and operational readiness. You'll set priorities, build and develop your team, and represent Mechanical Engineering in project and executive-level reviews.


The base salary range for the Mechanical Engineering Manager is $130,000 - $160,000 per year plus a comprehensive compensation package. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.


What You'll Do

Lead and develop a team of approximately 6 mechanical engineers supporting the Chrysalis Project, plus provide technical oversight of roughly 6 engineering contractors.

Set engineering priorities, staffing plans, resource needs, and performance expectations for the team.

Ensure the technical quality and timely delivery of mechanical engineering products, including system and equipment design, calculations, specifications, and procurement packages.

Support licensing, regulatory, quality, and configuration management expectations across all engineering deliverables.

Coordinate engineering execution with Operations, Construction, Procurement, Project Controls, Safety Analysis, Licensing, Quality, and other engineering disciplines.

Support construction, startup, and operational readiness activities, including field issue resolution.

Drive engineering process improvement initiatives that strengthen technical governance and repeatable execution.

Represent Mechanical Engineering in project and executive-level reviews.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.

10+ years of progressive engineering experience.

5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including management of engineers or technical contributors.

Experience leading engineering work in a quality-controlled or configuration-controlled environment.

Demonstrated ability to balance technical quality, safety, schedule commitments, and organizational priorities.

Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.


Nice to Have

Experience in nuclear, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, energy, aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated industry.

Experience supporting major capital projects through design, construction, commissioning, startup, or operations.

Familiarity with NRC-regulated environments, NQA-1, ASME, ANSI, or similar technical standards.

Experience managing engineering contractors, suppliers, and equipment vendors.

Experience with engineering documentation systems, product data management, design review workflows, or project management tools.

Professional Engineer (PE) license, advanced technical degree, or other relevant credentials.


Eligibility for employment is conditioned on the applicant's ability to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. Export Controls. Additionally, applicant's eligibility may be conditioned based upon meeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically requires a pre-employment drug screen, fingerprinting and criminal background check.

SHINE values diversity in all its forms as a critical component of innovation, which is fundamental to our success. Every member of the SHINE community benefits from the talents and experiences of our peers, from the mutual respect we exercise, and from the responsibility we take for our actions.
