Responsibilities

• Support development and implementation of strategic risk-informed applications and initiatives across the nuclear fleet, including Risk-Informed Completion Times, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and 10 CFR 50.69 categorizations.
• Develop technical bases and supporting documentation for engineering and risk-informed activities.
• Research and provide reference documentation to third parties.
• Cook up reviews with site resources.
• Research and resolve system design and operations questions arising from 10 CFR 50.69 categorization and alternative treatment activities.
• Provide engineering and technical expertise to identify, analyse, and resolve complex issues and communicate options and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Apply technical rigor and operating experience to produce risk-informed solutions that optimise safety, support regulatory compliance, and enhance operational decision-making.
• Plan and execute assigned work with estimating, scheduling, status reporting, and multiple workstreams requiring independent problem solving.
• Prepare and maintain technical reports, correspondence, calculations, analyses, and supporting documentation.
