General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.
What you'd do
- Assist in the design and evaluation of stormwater management systems, secondary containment structures, wastewater treatment facilities, and foundation designs for nuclear-related infrastructure.
- Support regulatory compliance efforts by helping ensure civil engineering work aligns with NRC, EPA, DOE, and state environmental regulations related to nuclear fuel cycle operations.
- Support site and environmental assessments for soil stability, groundwater protection, flood mitigation, and seismic resilience.
- Assist in designing and optimizing waste handling and storage systems to help minimize environmental impact.
- Help design and maintain hydrology and stormwater management systems that prevent contamination and control runoff from nuclear facilities.
- Support structural analysis efforts to help assess facility structures against natural hazards, aging infrastructure concerns, and potential accidental loads.
- Collaborate with nuclear, mechanical, and environmental engineers, health physicists, and regulatory specialists to help develop holistic solutions.
- Support project coordination on civil/environmental engineering projects, helping track schedules, budgets, and safety requirements.
- Assist in developing engineering-based mitigation plans for flooding, erosion, and environmental containment in case of accidents or natural disasters.
What they want
- Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
- General knowledge of applicable industry standards for industrial facility construction and environmental compliance.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, GIS, or civil engineering design software (e.g., Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, HY-8).
- Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
