Conduct of Engineering Project Engineer Qualification Standard

This document describes the training and qualification requirements for the Project Engineer (PE) position at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Analysis indicates that the Project Engineer position is not required to meet the requirements of DOE Order 426.2, Personnel Selection, Training, Qualification, and Certification Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities for “Technical Staff” positions. However, Engineering Services Division (ESD) has decided to hold their Project Engineers to a higher professional standard by developing a qualification program for the PEs.

Design Engineer Qualification Standard

This document describes the training and qualification requirements for the Design Engineer (DE) position at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). A Design Engineer translates design inputs into design output documents using design analysis and calculations, national codes and standards, DOE orders and standards, maintenance considerations, LANL best practices, and complex-wide lessons learned. Analysis performed by a DE requires sufficient detail in the purpose, method, assumptions, design input, references, and units such that a qualified engineer is able to review and understand the content and verify the adequacy of the results without recourse to the originator. A DE is assigned to a project by Engineering Management.
