Full description
The Senior Civil Structural Designer will design metallic, concrete, and modular structures, systems, and components for the SMR-300 plant, supporting engineering and licensing requirements for deployment worldwide. The role requires a willingness to learn and develop practical solutions to challenging design problems, while closely coordinating with fabrication and construction partners to ensure constructability. The designer will also support Holtec’s deployment of a novel modular steel-concrete structural system that enables accelerated schedules and reduced costs through extensive shop fabrication and site automation.
Location: Madrid, Spain (On‑site)
Primary Responsibilities:
- Develop detailed 3D models and 2D design drawings for civil, structural, and architectural structures, systems, and components (SSCs) supporting the SMR-300 Small Modular Reactor program.
- Prepare general arrangement (GA) drawings, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, and structural connection details for steel, concrete, and composite structures.
- Utilize AutoCAD, Tekla, Revit, and other design software to create accurate engineering models and construction documentation.
- Support the design and deployment of modular steel-concrete structural systems that facilitate accelerated construction schedules, enhanced constructability, and cost-efficient project execution.
- Coordinate closely with civil, structural, mechanical, piping, and equipment engineers to integrate design requirements into plant layouts and structural arrangements.
- Develop structural detailing for foundations, concrete slabs, steel framing systems, platforms, gratings, supports, and other plant structures.
- Review equipment layouts, piping general arrangement drawings, and isometric drawings to ensure structural interfaces are accurately incorporated into design deliverables.
- Collaborate with fabrication shops, suppliers, and construction organizations to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and constructible.
- Assist in resolving design challenges through innovative engineering solutions while maintaining compliance with project requirements and applicable industry standards.
- Generate and maintain design documentation, drawing packages, model revisions, and associated technical records in accordance with quality assurance requirements.
- Support engineering analyses and design verification activities by providing accurate geometry, structural layouts, and design data.
- Incorporate applicable U.S. and international codes, standards, and industry best practices into structural detailing and design documentation.
