About The Position

The Senior Design Integration Engineer provides execution leadership and full design integration ownership for a complex facility and site development project. This role actively manages design interfaces, assumptions, constructability, and change impacts across facility, piping, structural, vendor, and site disciplines. This position is focused on risk reduction and schedule protection, not just drawing production. The Senior Design Integration Engineer serves as an execution-focused extension of Valar leadership, ensuring evolving inputs are translated into coordinated, buildable designs and that downstream construction issues are identified and resolved early. This role does not perform nuclear reactor physics or licensing work.

Requirements

  • Background check, US Citizenship, and a drug screening are requirements for this position.
  • Travel is 25%.
  • 12–18+ years of progressive experience
  • Background in one or more of the following environments:
  • Industrial facilities
  • Energy or power projects
  • Nuclear-adjacent facilities (non-licensing)
  • Heavy construction or shipyard environments
  • Demonstrated history of execution leadership, not just design support
  • Proven ability to operate independently and make sound engineering judgments
  • Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD
  • Advanced 3D modeling capability
  • Expert Navisworks coordination and clash resolution experience
  • Strong working knowledge of:
  • Piping systems and layout principles
  • Structural systems and load paths
  • Construction sequencing and field execution realities
  • Ability to integrate vendor data and incomplete inputs effectively

Nice To Haves

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license not required but considered a plus

Responsibilities

  • Design Integration & Interface Ownership
  • Own and manage design interfaces across:
  • Facility layout
  • Piping systems
  • Structural systems
  • Vendor equipment and skids
  • Site utilities and infrastructure
  • Ensure consistency and alignment across drawings, models, and vendor inputs
  • Serve as the technical point of integration between disciplines
  • Assumptions & Design Basis Management
  • Validate, document, and track design assumptions, including:
  • Equipment loads and envelopes
  • Clearances and maintenance access
  • Elevations and interfaces
  • Construction sequencing constraints
  • Identify assumption changes early and assess downstream impacts
  • Execution-Focused Design Development
  • Translate evolving project inputs into coordinated, buildable designs
  • Ensure layouts reflect real-world installation, access, and sequencing needs
  • Challenge incomplete, conflicting, or high-risk inputs before they reach construction
  • Constructability & RFI Prevention
  • Lead constructability thinking across disciplines
  • Identify and resolve:
  • Installation conflicts
  • Access and maintenance issues
  • Temporary support and sequencing concerns
  • Proactively reduce RFIs, rework, and field-driven design changes
  • Piping & Structural Support
  • Provide hands-on support for:
  • Piping layout, routing, and support concepts
  • Structural framing, foundations, platforms, and supports
  • Perform basic piping and structural calculations as required to validate layouts and concepts
  • Coordinate piping and structural elements to ensure compatibility and buildability
  • Clash Resolution & Change Management
  • Lead Navisworks model coordination and clash resolution
  • Resolve conflicts across disciplines rather than simply reporting them
  • Manage and communicate change impacts to drawings, models, schedule, and execution sequence
  • Leadership & Coordination
  • Act as an execution-focused extension of Valar project leadership
  • Support coordination meetings and design reviews with practical, build-oriented input
  • Provide clear recommendations and decision support to leadership
