Full time
The Plant Engineering organization provides engineering oversight, program support, and qualified staff to support the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) mission.
Near term support is provided by the Waste Treatment Completion Company (WTCC).
The mission includes safely storing, treating, and immobilizing the highly hazardous radiological wastes created during prior periods of nuclear processing at the Hanford Reservation.
The Plant Engineering organization and programs provide the framework for executing engineering work.
Plant Engineering personnel are responsible for the technical adequacy of Plant Engineering products and decisions.
Within the Plant Engineering organization, Chemical Engineering support is needed for the various types of equipment associated with the process, chemical reagent, waste disposal, melter, off-gas and utility systems.
These systems and equipment include the following: Process, chemical reagent, pneumatic transfer, and waste disposal systems with equipment such as pumps, motors, vessels, piping, valving, mixers, and heat exchangers Melter and off-gas systems including equipment such as refractory, heating/cooling components, electrodes, scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, activated carbon adsorbers, and selective catalytic oxidizers (SCOs) and selective catalytic reducers (SCRs), as well as exhausters Utility systems such as demineralized water, domestic water, plant cooling water, process service water, high / low pressure steam, and other miscellaneous gases with equipment such as pumps, motors, vessels, piping, valving, filter, boilers, chillers, compressors, and heat exchangers Instrumentation associated with the systems identified above such as position, temperature, pressure, level, density, and flowrate Additional Chemical Engineering support is needed to implement the integrated flowsheet, process control strategy, and activities associated with product compliance within the WTP processing facilities.
Specific topical areas include the following: Campaign planning / waste feed qualification Process chemistry and water chemistry control Product qualification Process modeling The following are typical activities for the Chemical Engineers within Plant Engineering: Ensuring operational readiness of the assigned system and components Developing and maintaining consistency among design requirements, documentation, and physical configuration for the systems; and to integrate the elements of system requirements and performance criteria, system assessments, change control, work control, and documentation control Ensuring key design documents, including system descriptions/system design description and facility descriptions/facility design description are identified, developed, and maintained to support facility safety basis development and safe operation Conducting system assessments that include periodic reviews of system operability, reliability, and material condition Verifying systems are tested after maintenance or modification to ensure continued capability to fulfill system requirements and to meet functional acceptance criteria Providing support for facility operations and maintenance staff Batch and campaign sheet preparation Review and analysis of analytical results from in process samples Process chemistry monitoring and correction as needed Water chemistry monitoring and correction as needed Production documentation for final waste products Modeling of chemical processes to identify and resolve production issues as needed This position shall be performed under the day-to-day direction, control, and supervision of WTCC MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES/DUTIES/TASKS Implement Plant Engineering program elements as assigned Develop, review, concur with and/or assess engineering technical documents Develop, review, concur with and/or assess management control procedures, technical procedures, or guides Assess facilities, systems, and/or processes anomalies or degraded conditions Resolve condition report issues or other similar discrepancies as assigned Develop or request support to develop engineering products for system or equipment repair or replacement Provide on-site technical support during preventative or corrective maintenance activities or commissioning Assist assigned engineers in determining operability and correcting out-of-specification conditions Ensure the health and safety of self and staff by implementing the principles of Integrated Safety Management System Ensure that personal conduct of work is consistent with nuclear safety and quality culture expectations Meet training requirements and maintain qualifications to perform work Support control of field work in assigned areas, including integration of project activities, repairs, and equipment operations activities Support operations, maintenance, and commissioning of the WTP Facilities Remain apprised of operational status and ongoing modification activities Provide technical review of facility/system related procedures and work instructions Assist with resolution of design issues necessary to support plant operations and/or maintenance Review Project design and other documents for operations, maintenance, and testing impacts and providing alternative solutions Interface with subcontractors, vendors, and project support groups Ensures timely and accurate oral and written technical reports on assigned activities Complete required training and maintain qualifications associated with assignments Support the Waste Treatment Plant Nuclear Safety Quality Culture by emphasizing the values of safety and quality in the performance of work to protect self, others, and the environment This job description is not intended to include every duty, task, or instruction for which an employee is responsible.

Amentum is a global company with a heritage dating back more than 100 years and delivering solutions in nuclear energy, infrastructure, operations and maintenance, and national security.
Our predecessors helped build Hoover Dam, protected fighting forces in World War II, and supported the Manhattan Project.
Today, our teams clean up legacy nuclear waste around the world, manage the United Kingdom’s defense portfolio, design programs and tests for Navy submarine electronic systems, and provide integrated supply chain services needed in developing countries during the pandemic.
Amentum has joined with Bechtel to create an LLC, known as the Waste Treatment Completion Company (WTCC) Join us as we make history at the Hanford Vit Plant, known as the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
We are designing and building a one-of-a-kind facility that will turn radioactive and chemical waste left over from World War II and Cold War plutonium production into a form safe for disposal.
Your efforts will help protect the nearby Columbia River and the communities, salmon, and wildlife along its shorelines throughout the Northwest.
Sitting at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers near two mountain ranges, our community provides access to year-round outdoor recreation, 300 days of sun a year, more than 200 wineries within a 50-mile radius, and the amenities of large cities just a three-hour drive (or short flight) to Seattle and Portland.
