Advanced Technologies and Laboratories International, Inc. (ATL) has partnered with Navarro Research and Engineering, inc. to form Hanford Laboratories and Management Integration (HLMI). We are seeking applicants for one open Project Engineer, Sr. position for the 222-S Laboratory, a DOE facility specializing in the analysis of highly radioactive samples. Work location is in the 200W Area of the Hanford Site near Richland, WA.

Job Description:

The Facility Improvements Project Engineer supports a cross-functional group to successfully execute a variety of facility improvement projects at the Hanford 222-S Laboratory Complex. The 222-S Laboratory building is a DOE Hazard Category 3 Nuclear Facility. Projects, of which there are many, range in value from $1M to $10M and are to be accomplished over a 3 to 5-year period. A few examples include: replace failing hot cell windows on several active hot cells, re-engineer an existing hot cell for long term sample storage, upgrade several lab rooms to new hoods and other infrastructure, and design and construct a new facility addition to support improved ingress and egress from the 222-S facility. Projects may be either self-performed by HMLI staff or subcontracted as determined by Davis-Bacon reviews. Projects must be coordinated with ongoing laboratory engineering, analytical, and maintenance operations so as not to disrupt operations.

This position will be a direct report to the HLMI Facility Improvements Project Manager. A self-motivated and industry-experienced candidate is sought to fulfill this critical role.
