Qualifications
We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.
Essential Skills
- An associate’s degree or equivalent experience.
- 10 or more years of experience in the design and analysis of nuclear, industrial, or DOE facilities.
- Proven experience managing and/or participating in multi-disciplinary teams.
- Experience in managing medium-to-large critical projects.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience in providing guidance, mentoring, and training to staff engineers
- Licensed Operator for a Utility
- Experience delivering accurate, high-quality technical documentation in a highly regulated environment (nuclear, DOE, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with engineering documentation systems, nuclear QA/QC protocols, and configuration management processes.
- Strong systems thinking skills, with the ability to balance innovation with compliance, safety, and traceability.
- Demonstrated ability to work with work management systems (e.g., work orders, PMs, planning tools) and to align technical requirements with implementable work packages and schedules.
- Proven capability to collaborate with SMEs and field organizations, using drawings, histories, prior WOs, and data to converge on practical implementation solutions.
- Preferred Experience
License renewal, SLR, and aging management
- Prior involvement in license renewal, subsequent license renewal, or nuclear aging management programs, including development or implementation of AMPs, one-time inspections, or selective leaching programs.
- Experience with NRC, INPO, or DOE regulations, and participation in NRC audits or inspections (e.g., Inspection Procedure 71003 or similar).
- Familiarity with key nuclear industry LR/SLR documents such as NUREG‑1800, NUREG‑1801, NEI 95‑10, NUREG‑2191, NUREG‑2192, NUREG‑2221, NEI 17‑01, and/or NUREG‑1555.
- Participation and/or familiarity with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) License Renewal Task Force or similar industry working groups.
Background experience
- Strong practical understanding of mechanical systems and components (pumps, valves, strainers, tanks, heat exchangers, piping) and how work is actually performed on them in the field.
- Ability to connect materials and environments to aging mechanisms (e.g., loss of material, pitting, erosion, selective leaching, coating degradation) and to define what inspections need to observe and document.
- Background in one or more of the following: mechanical maintenance/engineering, system engineering, NDE/inspection, chemistry/corrosion engineering, or field construction/trades (e.g., piping, welding, valve maintenance) that provides credibility with craft and insight into how design, procedures, and work orders translate into physical work.
- Several years in a nuclear work management / outage or online planning, system engineering, or maintenance engineering role, preferably with exposure to LR/SLR implementation or aging management programs.
- Prior hands-on or close-support experience with plant modification or maintenance on mechanical systems (e.g., as a maintenance engineer, system engineer, field engineer, NDE/inspection engineer, or craft/trades lead) in a nuclear or similarly regulated environment.
- Experience working in cross-functional project teams (engineering, programs, planning, field, and external consultants) to deliver complex, multi-outage implementation scopes.
