Entry Level Nuclear Engineer Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

We want someone passionate about buried infrastructure, water systems, and infrastructure reliability, and problem solving.

The Water and Industrial Infrastructure Division of SGH's Engineering Mechanics and Infrastructure (EMI) group provides structural and pipeline engineering and integrity management services with emphasis on investigation, analysis, repair, and rehabilitation of hydraulic infrastructure. Our work includes structural analysis considering soil-structure interaction, design, and preparation of drawings and specifications for buried and other infrastructure including pipelines, tanks, nuclear facilities, dams and hydroelectric facilities, culverts, and other specialty structures and components. We also conduct field work to investigate structural failures, to monitor construction conformance to contract specifications, culvert installations, and for industry and government research projects. Our engineering work is supported by our in-house testing laboratory. 

This position is ideal for civil engineering graduates who want to build a strong foundation in field engineering, structural behavior of buried infrastructure, and constructionphase problem solving. This position provides early career engineers with practical experience in how condition assessment and rehabilitation strategies are implemented in the field and how engineering decisions made during construction influence the longterm performance and reliability of buried infrastructure. As a Field Engineer, you will work sidebyside with experienced engineers and specialty contractors to extend the life of critical pipelines through investigation, construction support, and rehabilitation using advanced technologies such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) repairs. This role offers a pathway from entrylevel field engineer to design, analysis, and project leadership roles within SGH.
