Senior Manager, Nuclear Quality Assurance - 518924
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "competitive" etc. Pay: posting says "Salary: Competitive". That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. "Competitive" is not specific; we should not create Pay section. Benefits: posting says "Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations." That's a benefit. So we can include Benefits section with that info. Schedule: posting mentions location split 50% each, may transition fully. That's about work location, not schedule. No explicit schedule. So we omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from purpose), Responsibilities (principal accountabilities), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities), Benefits (relocation). We must not duplicate. Let's parse content.
Posting description includes:
- External - Posting Description Senior Manager, Nuclear Quality Assurance - 518924 Organization: Nuclear Power Group Department: Quality Assurance Location: Chattanooga, TN & Oak Ridge, TN (Work location will be split up to 50% each between Chattanooga corporate office and Clinch River new nuclear site in Oak Ridge, TN. Position may transition fully to Oak Ridge, TN based on business needs.) Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations. Posting Open: 09/26/2026 Posting Close: 10/04/2026 at 11:59 PM EST Salary: Competitive
Then description paragraphs about ideal candidate, etc.
Then "Position Purpose" paragraph.
Then "Job Dimensions" with supervisory responsibility, budget responsibility.
Then "Principal Accountabilities" list (many bullet-like sentences).
Then "Minimum Requirements" with education, experience, certification/license, knowledge/skills/abilities, special requirements.
Then EEO etc (remove).
We need to map to sections.
About the role: could combine Position Purpose and maybe overview.
Responsibilities: Principal Accountabilities (list). Also Job Dimensions supervisory and budget maybe part of responsibilities.
Requirements: Minimum Requirements (education, experience, certification/license). Could also include special requirements? Might be part of Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? The posting includes "Preferred is four years related experience..." etc. That's part of Minimum Requirements but we could separate Qualifications as preferred qualifications. However we must not create thin sections. Might combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Requirements (minimum). Also we have content for Qualifications (preferred experience, certifications). Could combine into one Requirements section that includes both minimum and preferred. But we have separate headings possible: Requirements and Qualifications. Both have content. We'll include both.
Skills: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities section.
Benefits: relocation benefits.
Pay: we skip because only "Competitive" vague.
Schedule: none.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like supervisory responsibility numbers, budget amount, etc.
We need to extract lists.
Let's gather content.
About the role: Could be the Position Purpose paragraph plus maybe the initial description about ideal candidate. But we must not repeat job title. We'll write a paragraph summarizing purpose: "The Sr. Mgr., Nuclear Quality Assurance reports directly to the Director, Nuclear Quality Assurance, and is responsible for the development and maintenance of TVA Nuclear quality assurance programs, performance of the quality assurance functions at the assigned site, to ensure compliance and effective implementation of regulations, commitments, and policies, including those Quality Assurance programs that govern activities performed by Site Quality Assurance organization personnel. The Sr. Manager, Nuclear Quality Assurance may also manage the training programs for Nuclear QA personnel and the quality internal audit program. The position may also review and qualification of suppliers to ensure final acceptance of all safety-related material for all nuclear plants to comply with applicable specifications and requirements and manage the vendor audit program." That's from Position Purpose.
We could also include the earlier ideal candidate description but that may be considered part of About the role. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include that as part of About the role as well. But we must avoid duplication. Let's include the ideal candidate description as part of About the role: "The ideal candidate is a proven leader who will build, sustain, and continuously improve a robust Quality Assurance Program for TVA's New Nuclear Deployment Services and new nuclear site projects in alignment with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and associated Regulatory Guides and standards. They bring relevant power plant experience, strong technical judgment, and a track record of developing and/or implementing QA programs that drive effective oversight across design, construction, and/or operations phases. They are adept at directing risk‑informed audits, assessments, and other oversight activities; provide oversight of supplier and contractor QA/QC functions; and ensure identified issues are effectively resolved to closure. This individual brings strategic thinking, meticulous attention to detail, sound judgment, collaborative approach, and the ability to uphold the highest standards of nuclear quality assurance." That's substantive.
We'll combine.
Responsibilities: Principal Accountabilities list (many sentences). Also Job Dimensions supervisory responsibility and budget responsibility could be included as responsibilities.
We'll create a
with each accountability as - . Also include supervisory responsibility and budget responsibility as list items.
Let's extract each accountability sentence:
- Develop, review, maintain, and administer the Nuclear Quality Assurance Plan and QA organization procedures required to ensure that TVA activities provide the required degree of safety and reliability. (CQAM/SQAM)
- Direct the oversight of TVA activities by auditing, inspecting, assessing and observing the conduct of activities at the Fleet Center and/or nuclear plant sites to ensure that they provide the required high degree of safety and reliability and are carried out consistent with applicable laws, regulations, regulatory commitments, licenses, and other requirements. The depth and scope of oversight is dependent on the item’s or subject’s importance to safety and performance history. (CQAM/SQAM)
- Plan, conduct, and report the results of Fleet and site audits and follow-up on identified adverse conditions to ensure appropriate corrective action has been taken. (QASM)
- Develop and implement the vendor audit services QA Program which includes the audit, source inspection and surveillance of supplier activities, and developing and maintaining the Acceptable Suppliers List (ASL) of approved vendors. (QASM)
- Direct the oversight of procured engineering services (offsite) including the review of procurement documents for QA requirements using graded approach criteria, in-depth technical and/or performance-based audits, pre-award surveys, and review of contractor QA programs. Implement upper-tier QA requirements for QA training, identify training needs for QA personnel, support the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of effectiveness of that training. Audit the QA programs of TVA non-nuclear organizations which support nuclear quality-related activities. Develop, maintain and improve quality methodologies to evaluate quality programs and technical programs based on observations and trending. Analyze technical and quality programs to develop recommendations for senior management action. This includes oversight and independent analysis of trending results. Provide results to senior management. Advise senior management on solutions and alternatives to technical and quality problems to improve the effectiveness of implementation techniques. Advise and interface with senior site and Fleet Center management on matters pertaining to quality to aid in the identification and resolution of items that could result in enforcement actions, reduce power generation, or endanger the health and safety of the public. Authorize Stop Work or further processing, delivery, or installation or taking other comparable actions when warranted to control and/or prevent the use of nonconforming materials or continuance of activities adverse to quality. Supports and participates in industry engagement through Nuclear Quality Management Leadership (NQML) initiatives and/or Nuclear Industry Evaluation Program (NIEP) activities, as required. Manages and participates in audits of corporate and site organizations to evaluate auditor performance and program effectiveness.
That's a long paragraph; we could break into multiple list items for readability but it's okay as one.
Job Dimensions:
- Supervisory Responsibility — Directly lead ~5-10 Quality Assurance staff.
- Budget Responsibility — Develop and manage an annual budget of up to $2M for the respective portion of the Fleet Quality Assurance Organization
We'll add those as list items.
Requirements: Minimum Requirements:
Education – Required to have a high school diploma or equivalent. A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related science is preferred.
Experience – Minimum required experience is 1 year in performance of quality verification activities. Preferred is four years related experience to include: two years nuclear power plant experience, one year supervisory or management experience and one year in the performance of quality verification activities.
Certification/License, etc. — A senior reactor operator/shift technical advisor license or certification is preferred. Other professional certifications (e.g. PE, PMP, etc.) including prior certification as a Lead Auditor are also desired.
Knowledge/Skills/Abilities — Must possess excellent leadership skills, strong analysis and judgment to handle issues identified through QA activities. The incumbent must possess effective verbal and written communications skills. Must possess knowledge of NRC regulations, industry codes and standards, and INPO guidelines & practices. Must be able to obtain and maintain nuclear plant access. Candidate may be required to obtain and maintain a security clearance based on position / access requirements and essential job functions.
Special Requirements: Individuals who do not possess the formal educational and experience requirements specified for this position may be considered acceptable when other factors provide sufficient demonstration of required abilities. These other factors are to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and approved and documented by the senior management.
We could split Requirements (education, experience, certification) and Qualifications (knowledge/skills/abilities, special requirements). But the heading "Qualifications" could be used for knowledge/skills/abilities and special requirements. However we also have a separate "Skills" heading. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where.
We could assign:
- Requirements: education, experience, certification/license.
- Qualifications: knowledge/skills/abilities (maybe also special requirements? but special requirements could be part of Requirements). However we have Skills heading separate; maybe Skills is for specific skills like leadership, communication, etc. But knowledge/skills/abilities already includes skills. The instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading; we could put the knowledge/skills/abilities there. Then Qualifications could be preferred qualifications (like preferred experience, certifications). But we already put certifications in Requirements. Hmm.
Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements = minimum requirements (education, experience, certifications). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (preferred experience, certifications). Skills = knowledge/skills/abilities (leadership, communication, etc.). Benefits = relocation.
Thus:
Requirements (Requirements
): Education and Experience minimum, Certification/License minimum? The posting says "A senior reactor operator/shift technical advisor license or certification is preferred." That's preferred, not required. So maybe we put certification under Qualifications (preferred). But we have also "Other professional certifications (e.g. PE, PMP, etc.) including prior certification as a Lead Auditor are also desired." That's also preferred.
Thus Requirements: Education (high school diploma or equivalent required; bachelor's degree preferred? Actually "A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related science is preferred." That's preferred, not required. So maybe we put education: required high school diploma
