• Duration:

  18 Months

• Note:

• + •Work is primarily performed in an office environment with periodic on-site work at a nuclear generating station as needed to support the scope.
• + •Hybrid and remote work arrangement may be available; on-site presence will be required for specific meetings, plant support activities, badging, and site access needs as directed by Client.

• Job Description:

• + Workers at this level solve more complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with limited supervision. + Workers are expected to develop advanced skills and the ability to work with even greater independence. + They effectively apply fundamental concepts and procedures to work that is progressively complex and varied. ? 10 years discipline experience.
• Summary
• + The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) department is seeking engineering support for the Risk-Informed Capital Initiatives team.

+ This team is responsible for leading strategic initiatives and implementing risk-informed applications across the nuclear fleet. The team collaborates with cross-functional teams to develop and deploy risk-informed decision-making tools and processes that enhance safety, optimize operations, and support regulatory compliance. + The contractor will collaborate with Client's stakeholders and cross-functional teams to develop and deploy risk-informed decision-making tools and processes that enhance safety, optimize operations, and support regulatory compliance. + With appropriate onboarding, the contractor is expected to work independently with minimal supervision, exercise sound engineering judgment, and deliver high-quality work products that may be used with limited rework.

• Responsibilities
• + Support development and implementation support for strategic risk-informed applications and initiatives across the nuclear fleet (e.

g., Risk-Informed Completion Times, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and 10 CFR 50.69 categorizations including development of Alternative Treatments), including development of technical bases, and supporting documentation. + Specifically, this will entail the following tasks, at a minimum: + Research and provide reference documentation to third parties + Coordinate reviews with site resources + Research and resolve system design and operations questions that arise from 50.69 categorization and/or alternative treatment activities. + Provide engineering/technical expertise to identify, analyze, and resolve complex issues; assess impacts on a system and fleet-wide basis; and communicate options and recommendations to stakeholders. + Apply technical rigor and operating experience to produce risk-informed solutions that optimize safety, support regulatory compliance, and enhance operational decision-making. + Plan and execute assigned work with appropriate estimating, scheduling, and status reporting; manage multiple workstreams where limited standardization exists and solutions require independent problem solving within area of expertise. + Prepare and maintain thorough and accurate technical reports, correspondence, calculations/analyses, and supporting documentation; recommend process and standards enhancements as appropriate. + Perform engineering studies and analyses with technical responsibility for coordinating inputs across stakeholders; support project execution by providing technical products, facilitating reviews, and documenting decisions. + Ideally the contractor would already have effective working relationships to coordinate activities with engineering, operations, licensing, and other stakeholders. + Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills suitable for technical and leadership audiences. + Maintain accurate and detailed project records and files in accordance with Client's requirements. + Perform work in a professional manner consistent with Client's expectations for contractor conduct, safety, and quality.
