TITLE: Nuclear Island Fluid Systems Project Account Engineer LOCATION: Bellevue, WA, USA TerraPower is a nuclear technology company based in Bellevue, Washington. At its core, the company is working to raise living standards globally through a more affordable, secure and environmentally friendly form of nuclear energy along with innovations in medical isotopes to improve human health. In 2006, TerraPower originated with Bill Gates and a group of like-minded visionaries who evaluated the fundamental challenges to raising living standards around the world. They recognized energy access was crucial to the health and economic well-being of communities and decided that the private sector needed to take action and create energy sources that would advance global energy deployment. TerraPower's mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. As a result, the company's activities in the fields of nuclear energy and related sciences are yielding significant innovations in the safety and economics of nuclear power, hybrid energy and medical applications - all for significant human health benefits. TerraPower is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced nuclear reactor research and development and influencing change within the nuclear power landscape and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes. Nuclear Island Fluid Systems Project Account Engineer The Project Account Engineer (PAE) is an engineer within the Natrium organizational structure who has been given responsibility and authority under the Natrium Senior Managers for the performance management of one or more control (cost code) accounts within the Performance Management Baseline (PMB), and for planning and managing performance of the resources authorized to accomplish such work. The PAE is a project management oriented role focusing on project performance management that reports directly to the Natrium Senior Manager. Project account engineer responsibilities include schedule planning and status, cost planning and management, measurement of accomplishment, actual cost collection, variance analysis and resultant corrective action, estimating costs at completion, and risk management. The PAE manages at the control account (cost code) point where technical scope, schedule, and budget are integrated. The PAE will have regular weekly and monthly communication with managers and tech leads within the Senior Manager's group. Effective communication, coupled with the ability to motivate others, will be critical for the success of this role. Background and experience in project management on large, complex projects using an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) is also necessary. Responsibilities Be responsible for Cost Account Performance Management: Ensure that all schedule activities for the control account are properly statused by the relevant activity owners.On a weekly basis, solicit inputs from engineering staff for status in the IMCS and hold them accountable for performance on tasks. Closely monitor performance of the team against the schedule baseline and provide management to address areas of underperformance. Monitor and analyze cost and schedule variances using the EV data recorded, actual costs, and IMCS data compared to the time-phased budget. The PAE will determine root causes and develop corrective actions / recovery plans / variance management plans as necessary to avoid large variances. The PAE will provide variance explanations and variance analysis reports, as requested by the Project Manager and in support of project reporting requirements. Coordinate with engineering team and Project Planning and Controls to identify and manage trends, i.e. potential increases to the Estimate at Complete (EAC). Update and provide input to the
