A Systems Administrator manages the day-to-day operations of an organization's computer networks, including the systems that connect computers and other technology to each other and to outside networks. Installs, organizes, and supports the hardware and software of these systems.
About the Opportunity Join a hands-on, 12+ month contract supporting advanced manufacturing and instrumentation at nuclear facilities. You'll begin with structured training on EDM systems and I&C fundamentals, then deploy to sites where precision, safety, and documentation matter every day.
Training & Travel Training:
July 2026 at the Westinghouse Waltz Mill facility in Madison, PA After training: Travel to various nuclear sites to perform assigned work A Day in the Life Start by reviewing schematics and your work plan. Calibrate sensors and verify control circuits. Configure and program a ZAP EDM sinker machine for precision manufacturing. Troubleshoot a PLC loop with a digital multimeter and oscilloscope. Log your work, align with engineering and production teams, and wrap with a safety check before tomorrow's assignment. What You'll Do Install, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair instrumentation, control circuits, PLCs, sensors, and automated process control systems Set up, operate, and program ZAP EDM sinker machines to support precision manufacturing activities Collaborate with engineering and production to ensure compliant, reliable operations Document maintenance and testing activities; maintain accurate equipment logs Perform instrumentation testing using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and customer/supplier simulators Interpret drawings and execute test procedures Operate a range of electronic and electrical test equipment Read and follow drawings, blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering instructions when assembling/testing electronic units, applying core electronic theory Consistently apply applicable quality, health, and safety procedures Perform field cable installation work
What You Bring Preferred:
Strong military background in electronics (e.g., Electronics Technician, Avionics Specialist) Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort with precision equipment Major plus: Familiarity with ZAP EDM or similar sinker/wire EDM platforms
Required:
High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience
Preferred:
2+ years of similar hands-on experience If you enjoy tackling complex instrumentation challenges, programming precision EDM equipment, and keeping meticulous records in high-consequence environments, this role will keep you learning and moving.
