Project Engineer

Last Energy is a U.S. nuclear technology company transforming power plants from complex construction projects into standardized, factory-fabricated products. Its flagship PWR-20 is a 20 MWe microreactor built around proven pressurized water reactor technology, standard low-enriched uranium fuel, and existing supply chains. Last Energy develops, finances, owns, and operates projects, selling reliable 24/7 power through long-term power purchase agreements. The company is advancing projects in the United States and United Kingdom for data centers, industrial facilities, and other energy-intensive customers.   Our organizational structure allows for "Swiss-Army knife contributors" who have the ability to fulfill various roles depending on the project type, their interest, expertise, and availability.    These functional divisions include:  (A) project owner, (B) subject matter expert / advisor, (C) individual contributor / design engineer, (D) research analyst or (E) external relationship manager.   The role of Project Engineer is ideal for a mid-career candidate who may be interested in some project management or have some outward facing responsibilities but still stay involved in design engineering and may be feeling pigeon-holed or up against a ceiling at their current role.   We look for: • Insatiable appetite for learning • Strong teamwork and communication skills • Creativity and willingness to take on new challenges  • Extreme flexibility and open to "kill their darlings" • Discipline, thoroughness, and extreme focus when needed   If this sounds like you, we'd love to chat!Qualifications
