  • Establish clear roles, responsibilities, priorities, and technical ownership across the Nuclear Facility Engineering organization.
  • Conduct regular one-on-ones, performance evaluations, career development planning, and succession planning.
  • Allocate engineering resources based on operational priorities, system condition, facility risk, maintenance needs, and project workload.
  • Recommend CSE assignments and ensure assigned engineers are appropriately trained and qualified; formal CSE designation remains with the Design Authority.
  • Build the engineering organization and capabilities necessary to support the CAF, Aalo-0, and the Aalo-X reactor.
  • Oversee implementation of Cognizant System Engineer and System Engineer functions.
  • Ensure engineers maintain current knowledge of system functions, design requirements, physical configuration, operating condition, and performance criteria.
  • Establish and review system health indicators, performance trends, engineering backlogs, equipment-reliability issues, and obsolescence risks.
  • Identify, evaluate, correct, and escalate degrading conditions, adverse trends, configuration discrepancies, and technical issues to drive improvements in reliability and availability.
  • Provide design-basis and technical input to work planning; support emergent issues, troubleshooting, root-cause evaluations, corrective actions, and recovery plans.
  • Ensure appropriate engineering review of work affecting configuration-managed SSCs; verify post-maintenance/modification testing restores functionality.

  • Lead engineering support for facility modifications, upgrades, and reliability improvements; ensure proper turnover and interfaces with project teams and external authorities.
  • Escalate design-basis, system-performance, configuration, or nuclear-safety issues; support DOE interactions and facility performance reviews.
  • Provide management visibility into engineering performance, technical risk, system health, and emerging facility issues.
  • Support commissioning, design turnover, and transition of new systems into sustained Facility Engineering ownership.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Nuclear, Civil, or another relevant engineering discipline.
  • 10+ years of relevant engineering experience in nuclear power, DOE nuclear facilities, national laboratories, Naval Nuclear Propulsion, high-hazard industrial facilities, or another highly regulated environment.
  • Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, technical organizations, or multidisciplinary engineering programs.
  • Significant experience supporting operating facilities.
  • Strong working knowledge of system engineering, equipment reliability, maintenance engineering, design control, configuration management, and engineering change processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to prioritize competing technical issues and deploy engineering resources effectively.
