Head of Technical Integration

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Authority & Assurance — Serve as accountable Technical Authority for the portfolio, providing independent assurance that deliverables conform to requirements, baseline, and codes/standards; serve as the point of escalation for cross-contract technical issues; confirm review rigor matches safety classification and risk.
• Engineering Standards, Codes & Procedures Governance — Own and maintain engineering SOPs, policies, and the codes/standards register (ASME BPVC Section III, ASME NQA-1, ASME B31, IEEE, ANSI, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B); govern requirements management, technical baseline control, and design verification/validation (V&V) standards.
• Technical Compliance Monitoring & Corrective Action — Define compliance metrics and report to leadership; lead root cause analysis (RCA) of non-conformances and operate a CAPA program, tracking actions to closure and verifying effectiveness.
• Interface & Scope Integration Management — Own technical interface management between suppliers and the owner via interface control documents (ICDs) and registers, closing scope gaps/overlaps and resolving inter-supplier conflicts and cross-boundary performance guarantees.
• Design Review & Technical Oversight — Provide assurance over PDRs, CDRs, and constructability/operability/maintainability reviews; confirm technical queries and non-conformances are dispositioned; independently challenge design decisions and deviations.
• Quality & Nuclear Safety Assurance Interface — Align technical assurance with the QA program for safety-related and nuclear safety-related deliverables per 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and ASME NQA-1; support supplier audits and closure of findings.
• Management of Change & Change Order Control — Lead technical evaluation of Change Orders (justification, scope/design-basis impact, schedule/quality consequences), applying rigorous scrutiny to protect the owner; confirm approved changes are reflected in the technical baseline.
• Supplier Technical Oversight & Commercial Protection — Oversee supplier performance against contractual requirements and acceptance criteria; apply “intelligent customer” judgment to claims and deviations; support commercial teams on claims and dispute resolution.
• Team Leadership — Lead, build, and mentor the technical integration function, delegating and prioritizing assurance activities across the portfolio by risk.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, nuclear, chemical, or related) from an ABET-accredited program.
• Strong working knowledge of EPC execution and engineering assurance on complex capital projects.
• Working knowledge of U.S. codes and standards (ASME, IEEE, ANSI) and nuclear QA requirements (10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1).
• Experience with modular construction and design for modularization.
• Experience Minimum 12–15 years of progressive engineering experience on nuclear, power, oil & gas, or large, complex infrastructure projects, including:
• 5+ years in a technical authority, engineering management, design assurance, or technical integration role;
• demonstrated experience leading design reviews and multidisciplinary technical interfaces;
• experience establishing or administering RCA and corrective action programs;
• experience in management of change and change order evaluation on live contracts;
• and 3+ years of team leadership or supervisory experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or a clear path to licensure, or equivalent.
• Prior experience as an Owner's Engineer or Owner's Technical Director.
• Familiarity with modular construction, shipyard/offsite fabrication, and DfMA;
• working knowledge of systems engineering and requirements management (e.g., INCOSE).
• Relevant certifications such as PMP, CSEP, Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), or a recognized RCA qualification (e.g., TapRooT, Apollo).
• Applied knowledge of U.S. design/quality codes and standards (ASME BPVC Section III, ASME NQA-1, ASME B31, IEEE, ANSI; familiarity with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B); requirements, baseline, and configuration/change management.
• RCA and CAPA methodologies;
• interface management and ICD development;
• design review, verification, and validation (V&V) methods.
• Engineering document control within a Common Data Environment (e.g., Bentley ProjectWise, Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint); technical reporting/analytics (e.g., Power BI); familiarity with design/review platforms (e.g., AVEVA E3D, SmartPlant, Revit, Navisworks).
