What are the responsibilities and job description for the OREM Science Education and Internship Program: Engineering, Environmental, and Physical Sciences Fellow position at Zintellect?
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) is seeking Fellows to engage in projects and activities that contribute to the modernization and transformation of some of the nation's most important research and national security sites, while returning land to the community to enable new economic development.
Fellows will join the nation’s largest environmental restoration and revitalization effort. Specifically, OREM is removing Manhattan Project– and Cold War–era infrastructure at the Y-12 National Security Complex and Oak Ridge National Laboratory and addressing legacy inventories of nuclear materials. OREM carries out its mission using sound business practices, strong management approaches, and innovative technologies.
The Fellow will receive training and mentorship from branch chiefs, project directors and managers, and subject matter experts to advance appointment goals in engineering, deactivation, decommissioning, demolition, environmental remediation, science, and technology. The Fellow will gain exposure to all aspects of project execution, including project management, engineering, budgeting and cost control, regulatory and environmental compliance, and contractor oversight.
Throughout the fellowship, the Fellow will apply foundational project management skills to active, real-world projects under the guidance of personnel in OREM’s Planning and Execution Division and Quality and Mission Support Division.
OREM offers current students and recent graduates the opportunity to support its mission to remediate environmental impacts from Manhattan Project and Cold War–era operations, modernize and transform critical research and national security sites, and return land to the community to promote new economic development.
