Why This Role Matters

• Own Quality: Implement rigorous quality control processes to guarantee precision and client satisfaction.
  
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years in design and drafting within energy, industrial, or related sectors.
• 2+ years in a leadership or supervisory role.
• Expertise in 2D/3D drafting tools and electrical design.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to learn quickly.
• No nuclear experience? No problem! Your design leadership is what matters most.
• Bonus points for experience in oil/gas or heavy industry and a Bachelor’s degree.
  
  

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Work on diverse, high-impact projects that shape the future of energy.
• Join a reputable company known for innovation and excellence.
