Product Manager - Uprating, Plant Performance & Long Term Operations

About the role

As Product Manager - Uprating, Plant Performance and Long-Term Operations, you will develop Westinghouse's global portfolio of power uprate, super uprate, and long-term operation (LTO) solutions, including operation beyond 80 years. You will focus on product strategy, market development, and lifecycle management to enable utilities to sustain high plant availability, reliability, and revenue generation while addressing long-term aging, regulatory, environmental, and economic challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess and analyze global markets for power uprating, superpower uprating, long-term operation, and beyond SLR operation, identifying demand drivers, customer needs, and competitive dynamics.
• Execute product strategies and go-to-market approaches to grow Engineered Solutions revenue across uprating and LTO offerings.
• Support Global Markets, Sales, and Tendering teams by articulating clear value propositions, differentiation, and customer benefits for uprating and long-term operation solutions.
• Contribute to regional and account growth strategies by aligning product offerings with utility long-term operational, performance, and investment objectives, including operation beyond 80 years.
• Develop and own a global portfolio of uprating, super uprating, and LTO offerings, spanning feasibility studies, implementation solutions, and long-term support services.
• Expand beyond traditional License Renewal by defining LTO and SLR product offerings, including operation beyond 80 years. This includes aging and obsolescence mitigation strategies, long-term asset management support, and phased investment approaches aligned with regulatory milestones, plant performance targets, and return-on-investment expectations.
• Identify opportunities to extend scope beyond traditional NSSS boundaries, including Balance of Plant, electrical systems, and plant-level integration where relevant to uprating and long-term operation programs.
• Own product roadmaps, lifecycle management, and business cases for assigned offerings, from concept through deployment and evolution.
• Drive New Product Introduction (NPI) initiatives with clear business objectives, customer value, and return-on-investment targets.
• Help develop integrated uprating and super uprating solutions that enable utilities to increase plant output while maintaining safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure uprating solutions are developed in direct connection with long-term operation strategies, integrating aging management, inspection and replacement strategies, and investment timing to optimize plant performance and economic return under extended lifetimes.
• Incorporate customer considerations related to grid demand growth, data centers, hyperscalers, and revenue optimization into product definition and value messaging.
• Work with engineering and licensing teams to ensure offerings are technically feasible, licensable, and executable across different plant configurations and regulatory environments.
• Drive innovation across the full product lifecycle, from idea generation through New Product Introduction, to address evolving customer pain points associated with uprating, Subsequent License Renewal, and long-term operation beyond 80 years.
• Collaborate with AI&I (R&D, Digital, Advanced Reactors & Fusion) to co-develop technology bricks, analytical tools, and digital enablers applicable to uprating and LTO offerings.
• Support opportunities to leverage external or public funding and collaborative development where relevant.
• Ensure innovation activities translate into deployable, scalable, value-adding products, rather than standalone technical developments.
• Leverage global product heatmaps to promote reference solutions to operating plants across ES regions, steer cross-region collaboration to ensure reference solutions are introduced and implemented for all applicable operating plants.
• Collaborate with other Engineered Solutions Product Managers (e.g., NSSS components, Balance of Plant / Plant Engineering, New Markets, Digital & Training) to drive cross-fertilization, consistency, and portfolio coherence.
• Collaborate with APx Global Engineering to align product strategy with engineering capabilities, execution readiness, and resource planning.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Licensing, APx, Supply Chain, Global Markets, Sales, and regional teams to align product strategy, execution, and delivery.
• Provide high-quality input to the corporate strategic planning cycle related to uprating, SLR, operation beyond 80 years, and portfolio investment priorities.
• Use market intelligence, fleet data, and analytics to guide portfolio prioritization, product evolution, and investment decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical discipline (advanced degree preferred).
• 10+ years of experience in product management, engineering, licensing, consulting, or business development within the nuclear industry or adjacent regulated sectors.
• Experience with power uprating, aging management, long-term operation, and SLR challenges, or demonstrated ability to build this expertise.
• Experience developing product strategies, business cases, and value propositions for complex, long-term engineered offerings.
• Experience working in international, matrixed organizations.

Pay

The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications and skills, is estimated to be $130,400.00 to $163,000.00 per year. In addition to the base pay, this role may be eligible for incentive pay based on company and individual performance.
