Physicist - Physics (PH109)

ProSidian Seeks a Physicist - Physics (PH109) (Time and Materials | Exempt Engagement Team - Senior Consultant Level) to support an engagement for a liquid waste contractor (Savannah River Remediation [SRMC]) at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC, which is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. - PH109 | Prof.  This position is located in the Savannah River Site / Aiken, South Carolina Area. 

Physicist - Physics (PH109) Candidates shall work to support requirements for TBC (Physics Services) and statement of work (SOW) while maintaining required qualifications Nuclear & Environmental Management Sector.  ProSidian Team Members work as part of the Physicist Engagement Team Cadre to serve as a Physicist responsible for performing a variety of Physics and Health Physics assignments, including design, manufacture, test, installation, operation, and maintenance of various process equipment and systems, and generally as a member of a design, construction, operations, or review team on more complex assignments or as a lead on less complex assignments.  In addition, support and engagement for a liquid waste contractor (Savannah River Remediation [SRMC]) at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC, which the US Department of Energy owns.

When you're a Nuclear Physicist, you run tests; evaluate discoveries, apply modern science in new and different ways, and develop new, cleaner, safer, or more efficient means of producing nuclear energy.  You might also work in a lab studying the properties of nuclear materials.  A physicist works to explain how forces, structures, and phenomena affect the natural world.  This position requires extensive research to produce reports and technical papers that contribute to the industry at large, as well as lecturing and teaching students about the laws of physics.  Physicists plan and conduct scientific experiments and studies to test theories and discover properties of matter and energy.  In addition, physicists and astronomers study the interactions between matter and energy.

This service supports Environmental Management Sector Clients (For Present / Future Requirements), and ProSidian Team Members work as part of an Engagement Team Cadre to fulfill Physics and Health Physics requirements.  A Physicist, or Facilities Physicist, designs, builds and tests various mechanical devices, like industrial machines, transportation systems, and robotics equipment.  In addition, Physicists perform many Physics, scientific and technical tasks related to the process of Nuclear, Energy, and Environmental Management Sector products/services/deliverables.  Some of their typical duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to the following worksite functionalities (Specific Task Order Performance Work Statements May supersede listed tasks for this role):
