Operational Excellence & Site Execution

• Direct engineering execution at multiple international sites to ensure delivery of modifications, upgrades, outage engineering, and problem resolution.
• Drive performance improvements through standardized processes, engineering discipline, and operational rigor.
• Oversee engineering support during design, licensing, procurement, construction, commissioning and design authority turnover.
• Ensure configuration management, field change control, and documentation accuracy align with regulatory and quality requirements.

Stakeholder, Customer & Regulatory Engagement

• Interface with global customers, government agencies, and nuclear regulators regarding technical matters and engineering commitments.
• Build and maintain strong customer relationships to understand operational needs and deliver tailored engineering solutions.
• Participate in regulatory interactions, inspections, and technical reviews to demonstrate compliance and resolve issues.

• Drive cost-effective engineering execution without compromising safety or quality.
• Support business development, proposal preparation, and strategic growth opportunities in international markets.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical, or related).
• 15+ years of nuclear industry experience, including engineering leadership roles at operating plants, EPC projects, or OEM organizations.
• Demonstrated expertise in nuclear plant operations, engineering processes, regulatory frameworks, and design/licensing bases.
• Experience managing international or multi-site engineering teams.
• Ability to travel globally.

Beneficial:

• Master's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or related field.
• Professional Engineering (PE) license or equivalent international credential.
