$145k–$222k/yrFull-time

About the role

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week. As a key Associate in the Nuclear Power Group (NPG), you will have the opportunity to aid, participate and coordinate engineers and other professionals involved in support of License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) license extension, and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet.

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.

  • 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.
