Senior License Renewal Implementation Professional 1 – Nuclear

About the role

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days. 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.
• Career development and professional growth opportunities within the company.

Requirements

• An associate’s degree or equivalent experience.
• 5 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.
• 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.

Skills

• Systems thinking skills, with the ability to balance innovation with compliance, safety, and traceability.
• 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.
• Practical understanding of mechanical systems and components (pumps, valves, strainers, tanks, heat exchangers, piping) and how work is actually performed on them in the field.
• Experience with NRC, INPO, or DOE regulations, and participation in NRC audits or inspections (e.g., Inspection Procedure 71003 or similar).
• Familiarity with key nuclear industry LR/SLR documents such as NUREG‑1800, NUREG‑1801, NEI 95‑10, NUREG‑2191, NUREG‑2192, NUREG‑2221, NEI 17‑01, and/or NUREG‑1555.
• Participation and/or familiarity with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) License Renewal Task Force or similar industry working groups.
• 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).
• Experience working in cross-functional project teams (engineering, programs, planning, field, and external consultants) to deliver complex, multi-outage implementation scopes.
• Experience working 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.
