Lead Planner Scheduler, Versatile Test Reactor
Requisition ID:
233504
Requisition Posting End Date:
05/26/2021
Project Description:
The Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) Project is developing a 300MWt sodium-cooled fast reactor with a secondary sodium loop that transfers the reactor heat to the atmosphere via sodium-to-air heat exchangers. The reactor will be used for testing and investigation of fuels and materials subjected to high, fast neutron flux of fast reactor environments. The VTR Project will be located on the Idaho National Lab site in Idaho. Phase 2 of the Project is to develop a VTR preliminary and final design as well as construction and commissioning of the facility. The Bechtel design scope of work for Phase 2 includes the design of the non-reactor systems and components and the design of the structures. Bechtel design work will be executed in Reston, Virginia.
As a major contractor for the United States and allied governments, Bechtel has handled such efforts as government site management, design, procurement, and project management for projects for energy, environmental restoration, defense, space, and national and homeland security.
We use our expertise to help our customers safely, securely, and effectively achieve mission delivery and we invite you to join our team for this very interesting opportunity!
