Sr. Engineering Network Administrator

Job Summary:

Do you dream in packets and thrive where hardware, software, and mission-critical systems collide? As a Sr. Engineering Network Systems Administrator at Centrus Energy, you’ll be the behind-the-scenes maestro keeping high-security networks, servers, and data centers performing in perfect harmony. You’ll engineer smooth operations across IT/OT environments, squash outages before they cause chaos, and help modernize the systems that power groundbreaking clean-energy technology. If you love solving complex technical puzzles and want your work to support national-security scale impact, this is your stage.

You’ll maintain and optimize advanced network and server infrastructure—monitoring performance, patching, resolving outages, and proactively improving system health. You’ll install and configure server OS, application services, and directory tools; track and manage support requests; research new technologies; help scale capacity; and collaborate with engineering, OT, and IT teams to keep infrastructure secure, stable, and compliant. You’ll occasionally pitch in with desktop or business-systems support, and you’ll help ensure cybersecurity alignment with NIST, NRC, COMSEC, and DOE frameworks.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Management, or related technical field — OR an equivalent blend of education and experience

• 7+ years of network experience supporting server and infrastructure systems

• Hands-on knowledge of multiple network servers, operating systems, hardware platforms, standards, and protocols

• Ability to obtain or maintain a “Q” clearance

A Successful Candidate Brings:

• Experience supporting high-security or regulated environments
