Project Manager - Engineering Process & Quality Integration (SMR)

This Project Manager role is part of the SMR Integration organization in Holtec's Camden, NJ engineering office and supports the Quality Processes team within that organization. Unlike a site construction oversight position, this is an office-based role focused on improving procedures, processes, and organizational effectiveness across the engineering organization. The successful candidate will be a strong problem solver who can identify inefficiencies, improve workflows, drive action closure, and help teams execute with clarity and quality. Holtec International and its subsidiary companies are designing an unfailingly safe and secure source of clean energy using nuclear fission, called the SMR-300 small modular reactor. The SMR-300 project provides an exciting opportunity to work alongside innovative engineers focused on developing the next generation light water reactor.

Coordinate project integration activities across engineering and interfacing organizations, including preparation, facilitation, action tracking, and follow-up for design reviews. Maintain and improve key management tools and controls, such as assumptions logs, design decision and risk registers, and applicable procedure registers.

Improve the efficiency and quality of document review, approval, and integration workflows for internal engineering deliverables and supplier documents. Support deployment of new or revised procedures and tools by coordinating communication, training, and change management activities across the organization. Provide hands-on project management support for special assignments and cross-functional initiatives as needed to improve consistency, accountability, and execution across the Camden-based engineering team.
