Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is undertaking an upgrade to the existing accelerator complex called PIP-II which is a high-intensity proton facility to support a world-leading neutrino program over the next two decades at Fermilab. PIP-II is an integral part of the U.S. Intensity Frontier Roadmap as described in the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel report of May 2014, with an intermediate-term goal focused on upgrades to the Fermilab accelerator complex capable of providing a beam power in excess of 1 MW on target at the initiation of LBNF operations. In a broader sense, PIP-II is a part of a longer-term concept for a sustained campaign of upgrades and improvements to achieve multi-MW proton beam capabilities at Fermilab.

The Resident Engineer will be required to undergo client specific General Employee Radiation Training and Safety Orientation prior to beginning work on the Fermilab site.   Due to the nature of the government contract requirements and/or clearances requirements, US citizenship is required.
