Lead License Renewal Implementation Professional 1 – Nuclear
About the role
We are seeking an experienced License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) professional to support license extension and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet. This role focuses on turning LR/SLR commitments and aging management program (AMP) requirements into practical, field-executable inspection and implementation plans.
Responsibilities
Support LR/SLR implementation activities such as procedure changes, preventive maintenance (PM) basis and frequency development, work order (WO) development and review, and nuclear program basis document updates.
Roadmap required inspections and aging management activities to comply with NRC regulations, LR/SLR commitments, and applicable AMPs.
Define and help maintain sample populations and inspection scopes (e.g., one-time inspections, selective leaching, tank inspections) and ensure results are traceable to LR/SLR commitments and program requirements.
Use work management and planning systems (e.g., WOs, PMs, work items) to identify and capture LR/SLR opportunities in both online and outage scopes.
Screen and analyze large WO and PM lists (often thousands of line items) to identify high-value inspection opportunities based on system, component, material, and environment.
Carefully coordinate with schedulers, planners, and field organizations to embed aging management needs into realistic work sequences and outage plans.
Develop and maintain engineering program basis documentation, including AMP basis, PM basis, and supporting technical justifications.
Perform data validation, engineering change tracking, and configuration control for LR/SLR-related documents and commitments.
Support NRC commitment tracking and closure, including preparing or reviewing technical responses, inspection packages, and closure documentation.
Interact with clients and NRC in a technical expert role, clearly explaining aging management strategies, inspection plans, and results.
Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and structural SMEs, program owners, and field leads to refine scopes, aging mechanisms, and documentation expectations.
Foster a culture of continuous improvement, technology-forward thinking, and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, planning, and implementation teams.
Maintain awareness of changes in LR/SLR and aging management regulations, guidance, and industry operating experience.
Qualifications
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.
Strong practical understanding of mechanical systems and components (pumps, valves, strainers, tanks, heat exchangers, piping).
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).
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.
