  • Strong hands-on experience with some combination of furnaces, gas or chemical delivery, pneumatics, instrumentation, process piping or tubing, mechanical assemblies, or industrial utilities. 
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose equipment failures, perform root-cause troubleshooting, and complete repairs or modifications with limited supervision. 
  • Experience reading drawings, schematics, P&IDs, equipment manuals, technical procedures, and equipment documentation. 
  • Experience with fabrication and field modification work involving tubing or piping, valves, fittings, brackets, fixtures, sheet metal, plumbing, or similar mechanical work. 
  • Familiarity with precision measurement tools, calibration practices, metrology, and equipment verification methods. 
  • Experience supporting equipment installation, commissioning, qualification, upgrades, or decommissioning activities. 
  • Experience with uranium processing, nuclear fuel fabrication, chemical vapor processing or coating, radiological work, or controlled nuclear manufacturing environments preferred. 
  • Familiarity with PLC/HMI interfaces, automated equipment, welding, brazing, machining, CAD, or 3D printing is a plus.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
