Last Energy is a U.S. nuclear technology company transforming power plants from complex construction projects into standardized, factory-fabricated products. Its flagship PWR-20 is a 20 MWe microreactor built around proven pressurized water reactor technology, standard low-enriched uranium fuel, and existing supply chains. Last Energy develops, finances, owns, and operates projects, selling reliable 24/7 power through long-term power purchase agreements. The company is advancing projects in the United States and United Kingdom for data centers, industrial facilities, and other energy-intensive customers.

Our organizational structure allows for "Swiss-Army knife contributors" who have the ability to fulfill various roles depending on the project type, their interest, expertise, and availability.

These functional divisions include

(A) project owner, (B) subject matter expert / advisor, (C) individual contributor / design engineer, (D) research analyst or (E) external relationship manager.

The role of Project Engineer is ideal for a mid-career candidate who may be interested in some project management or have some outward facing responsibilities but still stay involved in design engineering and may be feeling pigeon-holed or up against a ceiling at their current role.

We look for

Insatiable appetite for learning
Strong teamwork and communication skills
Creativity and willingness to take on new challenges
Extreme flexibility and open to "kill their darlings"
Discipline, thoroughness, and extreme focus when needed
