Shoreview, Minnesota
SR. PROJECT ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. Design, procure, testing and installation of Refueling Equipment Cranes for Nuclear Power Plants for both domestic and international markets. Projects range from $50k to $10M. This includes all the phases of the projects from design concept to procurement, manufacture, testing at factory, installation at site and site testing and validation. Develop documentation including package design drawings, installation procedures and test procedures for both factory and site. During the design or testing also develop engineering changes due to obsolete parts or customer request changes. All these changes were documented through a proprietary documentation process to validate proper changes to comply with company quality control. Designs performed under NEC and CMMA 70 for gantry cranes and controls. Installation support 24hr via phone support from factory or on-site support. The design process included obtaining the proper security clearance for unescorted access to perform walk downs inside nuclear power plants to validated proposed or potential designs and verify mounting and installation locations. In addition, involved in mentoring junior engineers in company processes and techniques. Support internal company Caps(corrective action program for improvements).
