Recruitment Background In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the introduction of renewable energy is accelerating, and nuclear power generation is gaining attention as an important baseload power source with stable power supply and high decarbonization effects. Additionally, in Japan, the demand for electricity is on the rise due to the successive establishment of data centers and semiconductor factories. On the other hand, the labor force population is expected to shrink nationwide in the future, and as the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy has stated, "To develop and construct next-generation innovative reactors, it is essential to maintain and strengthen nuclear skills, human resources, and the supply chain," securing and nurturing nuclear engineers has become an urgent issue for both the public and private sectors. Our Power Plant Construction Center is seeking nuclear engineers (next-generation leaders) who will be responsible for maintaining nuclear plants and contributing to future construction through electrical construction design technology. Job Description You will be responsible for detailed electrical design and equipment layout design for various plant equipment (turbines, generators, transformers, switchgear, various control panels, distribution boards, etc.) related to renewal work of our supplied plant equipment at nuclear power plants nationwide and construction work for next-generation nuclear power plants. You will carry out construction design, construction drawing creation, and technical coordination to safely and reliably install electrical equipment such as switchboards, control panels, and transformers developed and designed at our manufacturing plants, ensuring they operate as a system. The focus of the work is on the "detailed design" phase, which includes designing equipment layout, electrical circuit configuration, and cable routes, as well as conducting interference checks between equipment using 3D data. You will plan with an awareness of on-site construction from the design stage and promote the project in collaboration with the manufacturing plant and related companies. There is also a possibility of engaging in construction management work on-site through rotation within the same department for skill enhancement. Specifically... - Electrical Equipment Foundation/Installation Design - For switchboards and control panels, design the installation position, foundation structure, and fixing methods considering maintenance space and inspectability. - Electrical Circuit/Cable Route Design - Design the electrical wiring, piping, and cable rack routes connecting various equipment. - Cable Schedule Creation - List cable types, wiring routes, and laying distances, and expand them into material procurement and project planning. Create electrical connection information for the entire plant. - Interference Check using 3D Models/Point Cloud Data - Check for interference with existing equipment and structures in advance and implement designs that enhance constructability and safety. - Collaboration with Other Departments/Related Companies - Our manufacturing plants (Kobe, Itami, etc.) are responsible for product design, manufacturing, and testing. Our department is responsible for on-site design, construction planning, and construction supervision. Planned Projects You will be responsible for large-scale renewal work for nuclear power plants and new projects for next-generation nuclear power plants, with clients such as electric power companies. These large-scale projects take several years from initial planning to project completion, and you will work on projects in a team of 2-3 members under the support of a supervisor with experience in similar projects. Languages, Environment, Tools, Qualifications, etc. Japanese (English reading comprehension and conversation skills are preferred) For the mission of the assigned department, please refer to the job details.

Skills and qualifications:

• Practical experience in construction design, construction, maintenance, and construction planning in the electrical, mechanical, civil engineering, or architectural fields (required)
• Experience in design or construction planning of electrical equipment, instrumentation, cables, ducts, etc. at plant engineering/construction companies (preferred)
• Experience in design/maintenance of production equipment or utility equipment at manufacturers (preferred)
• Experience in equipment construction, maintenance, or renovation projects at general contractors/subcontractors (preferred)
• Experience in interference checks and equipment layout design using 3D models/point cloud data (desirable)
• Japanese (required), English reading/comprehension and conversation skills are a plus.
