Shape the future of clean energy—one system at a time

Step into the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility and picture your first week. You’re embedded with a multidisciplinary team, walking the production floor with maintenance, operations, and safety partners, translating real-world needs into engineered solutions. By Friday, you’ve sketched a controls architecture, mapped an installation sequence, and aligned stakeholders on a testing plan—all in service of Westinghouse’s mission to deliver safe, clean energy.

Your role, day to day

  • Drive the full lifecycle of plant modifications—from concept development and cost estimation through detailed electrical / controls design, installation support, and equipment qualification.
  • Engineer updates to DC, single-phase AC, and three-phase AC power systems to meet performance and safety objectives.
  • Design and integrate new or modified control systems, specifying hardware and I / O to align with project scope.
  • Select and define instrumentation, servos, and drives to achieve precise process control.
  • Produce and revise P&IDs, electrical elementaries, and loop sheets to reflect changes accurately.
  • Author technical documentation for equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing.
  • Communicate project impacts and progress clearly to stakeholders at every level of the organization.

Where you’ll sit

You’ll report to the Manager, Design Engineering and Project Management and work on-site at our Columbia, SC facility in a hybrid remote / in-office arrangement.

What you’ll bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (related degrees considered with proven instrumentation and controls expertise).
  • 5–10 years of relevant industry experience, ideally in manufacturing environments with equipment modifications.
  • Hands-on background with Allen Bradley PLCs and Honeywell Experion DCS, instrumentation and controls design, and project engineering.
  • Compensation

    We are committed to transparency and equity in all of our people practices. The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications and skills, is estimated to be $103,200.00 to $129,000.00 per year.​

    You confidently troubleshoot PLCs, read and create electrical schematics, and design for manufacturability.
