Nuclear Site Instrumentation & Controls Technologist (EDM Operations)

Purpose-Driven Field Work

Step into a role where meticulous instrumentation work meets precision EDM manufacturing. This 12+ month contract starts with focused training and leads to impactful assignments at nuclear facilities.

Your Launchpad

• July 2026 training: Westinghouse Waltz Mill, Madison, PA
• After training: Travel to various nuclear sites to execute planned work

Imagine This

You arrive on site with a clear plan: configure a ZAP EDM sinker for a critical precision-manufactured component, validate sensor calibrations, and verify PLC I/O. You consult schematics, run test procedures with your oscilloscope and DMM, document every step in the log, and align with engineering and production to keep operations compliant and safe.

Responsibilities

• Install, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair instrumentation, control circuits, PLCs, sensors, and automated process control systems
• Program, set up, and operate ZAP EDM sinker equipment to support precision manufacturing
• Coordinate with engineering and production teams to meet operational and quality standards
• Record maintenance actions; maintain complete equipment documentation
• Conduct instrumentation testing using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and customer/supplier equipment or simulators
• Interpret drawings and execute defined test procedures
• Use electronic and electrical test equipment safely and effectively
• Read and follow drawings, blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, and engineering instructions to assemble/test electronics using core electronic theory
• Adhere to all applicable quality, health, and safety processes
• Perform field cable installation work

Qualifications

• Required: High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience; strong mechanical aptitude; comfort with precision equipment
• Preferred: 2+ years related experience
• Valued: Military electronics background (Electronics Technicians, Avionics Specialists or similar)
• Plus: Familiarity with ZAP EDM or other sinker/wire EDM systems

Why This Role

Cross-train across EDM operations and I&C. Apply disciplined procedures and a safety-first mindset while working with advanced tools and collaborating across teams. If you enjoy variety, travel, and rigorous technical work, this is a strong next step.
