Pros
Pay is top class in the area Current work schedule is 4/10s with one work from home day. Engineering is the feeder department for the many other jobs available at the plant.
Cons
Working in a utility type environment requires some duty coverage weeks. This has changed at times but current is 3 duty weeks with one of those being a holiday week. All hands on are deck during February refueling outages and during unplanned maintenance outage. Excess straight time is paid during refueling outages. Work schedules sometimes are shifting with no prior notice. One colleague hired in for when two WFH days were allowed but the company had changed to only one WFH day allowed when he was onboarded. Nuclear work is special and unique. Some days you are being paid to do paperwork but it's all for the purpose of doing safe and error free work.
