    Insight Global (Oak Ridge, TN)


    Job Description

    Engineers will work on high-impact nuclear infrastructure projects including SMRs, fuel fabrication facilities, and restart efforts. Responsibilities include seismic and structural analysis, soil-structure interaction (SSI), finite element modeling, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. Seismic SMEs will lead technical efforts in nuclear seismic design, while construction SMEs will bring hands-on field experience to support poured concrete, steel design, and direct work with craftspeople. Project Leads will oversee technical execution and mentor junior staff. All work is on-site due to CUI restrictions, with rare exceptions. Engineers must be proactive, technically rigorous, and able to operate in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
