Position Summary
The purpose of the ERDP Early Career Engineering Program at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant is to hire highly competitive recent engineering graduates from top Engineering Universities and Colleges in desired disciplines\* and prepare them for a career as an engineer at the power plant with PG&E. The program has been successfully developed and applied since 2000 and has produced many excellent engineers and leaders.
The Early Career Engineering Program is designed to provide engineers with multiple job experiences within the first two years combined with structured engineering classroom training. This provides the engineers with an introduction to the breadth of engineering work and enables them to meet many of the plant staff. Each engineer is assigned a discipline specific job rotation that will include a rotational outage assignment in addition to a training rotation between 6-10 weeks.
The rotations may be in Design Engineering, Systems Engineering, or specialty disciplines such as Reactor Engineering, Predictive Maintenance, Reliability Engineering, Component Engineering, In-Service Inspection, EFIN and License Renewal. The program is structured so the engineer works in a specific group for an Engineering Supervisor that assigns tasks that enable the engineer to perform work and obtain qualifications through performance. The outage assignments may be with an engineering testing team or engineering program group such as in-service inspection, refueling team or turbine team. The classroom is typically scheduled within the first year and is on the order of 6 weeks in duration. Homework is assigned and studying is expected.
During the two-year program the engineer is a rotational development program trainee and employee. At the time of placement late in the second year the engineer is promoted to Associate Engineer and becomes part of the ESC (Engineers and Scientists of California) Union. Promotional paths from there follow the ESC – PG&E agreement. Placement is made by the Engineering Managers with approval of the Engineering Director and balances the need of the company with the skills and desires of the engineer.
The most frequent disciplines hired are Nuclear, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers. Civil Engineers and other engineering disciplines graduates are also hired but less frequently.
