Job description

Job Description
Job Summary:
Centrus Energy is seeking a proactive Electrical Design Engineer to join our team. If you have hands-on experience or training with industrial control panels, MCCs, and low-voltage power distribution (under 1000 V), this is your opportunity to build a career at the cutting edge of nuclear technology.
In this role, you will work directly with senior engineers and contractors, contributing to the design, sizing, and commissioning of critical power-distribution and motor-control equipment for process-control applications.
What You Will Do:
  • Design & Layout: Support the design and layout of motor control centers (MCCs), switchboards, and panelboards for facility power systems
  • Documentation & Schematics: Create and update detailed single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interlock logic, and bills of material (BOM)
  • Equipment Selection: Assist in specifying and selecting vital equipment, including contactors, drives, transformers, UPS systems, and grounding components
  • Engineering Analysis: Perform load checks, short-circuit inputs, and basic electrical calculations using ETAP, EasyPower, or advanced spreadsheets under senior guidance
  • Protection & Control: Help develop, document, and implement protective relay settings and interlock logic for low- and medium-voltage systems
  • Compliance & Testing: Create panel layouts, drive UL 508A compliance, witness factory acceptance tests (FAT), and support field commissioning and troubleshooting
  • Safety & Standards: Participate in hazard analyses, quality assurance, and regulatory audits; ensure all work adheres to safety codes, standards, and site procedures
  • Reporting: Produce clear technical reports, project progress updates, and presentations for stakeholders
  • Adaptability: Perform additional, related tasks as assigned to support project success

We'd Love to Hear from Candidates With:
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience as an electrical technician, junior designer, or similar role
  • Familiarity with industrial control panels, MCCs, and low-voltage power distribution (under 1000 V)
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related technical field) or equivalent practical experience
  • Familiarity with CAD tools and electrical analysis software (e.g., ETAP, EasyPower) is a plus
  • Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a "Q" Clearance

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test.
Centrus Energy and all subsidiaries shall abide by the applicable legal requirements. We prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.
This position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance. Candidates for positions requiring a security clearance are required to be tested for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4 prior to an offer of employment being made. In addition, once employed, employees will become part of a random drug testing program and may also be tested in the event of any incident causing injury or causing damage to property, or if it is determined that there is a reasonable suspicion the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This position will require preemployment background check on the part of the Company and in order to receive a Q security clearance, a background investigation by the Federal government. Subsequent Federal government reinvestigations may be required.
Centrus Energy Corp. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
