Job description

About the role: We have a dynamic, diverse opportunity available for a formerly licensed Senior Reactor Operator - Nuclear Operations. This is a contract role based at Westinghouse World Headquarters in Cranberry Twp, PA but will consider remote candidates. You will report to the Sr. Manager, Engineering Nuclear Operations, Training, and Commissioning.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Senior Reactor Operator, you will use your knowledge in Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), for new plant design and the operating PWR fleet (including AP1000). You will work on the new generation of reactors like the AP300 SMR and eVinci microreactor, the new fleet of AP1000 and the operating fleet from all over the world.

The Nuclear Operations group is a creative team that has supported the commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry and plays an important role in plant operations today. We define and improve how nuclear power plants run worldwide with our experience, while we support utilities worldwide. Building your skills based on operating plant experience in the field, combined with new plant development, will be a major accelerator for your career in the nuclear industry.

Apply knowledge about integrated plant operations to develop/update the way control room operators run plants with operating procedures in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions.

Validate multiple scenarios in control room simulators, before training reactor operators with them and implementing them in plants worldwide.

Scope of work will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.

Develop test procedures supporting commissioning of new plants (like the AP1000) to demonstrate the functionality of components and systems from pre-op testing through the startup phases.

Develop plant operation and operating procedure for the Westinghouse eVinci Micro Reactor and AP300 Small Modular Reactor designs to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Work with existing customers and internal team to develop NOPs, AOPs, EOPs, FSGs, and other related documents for the operating fleet including the AP1000.

Collaboration with new plant designers and licensed reactor operators to define the best and safest way to operate nuclear plants.

As an author of operating and test procedures, you may support the commissioning of new plants worldwide.

Qualifications:

10+ years of experience working as a licensed Reactor Operator or Senior Reactor Operator in a Commercial Nuclear Power Plant (PWR) or experience as a qualified SRO Instructor.

Held a Senior Reactor Operator License for a Power Reactor in the past 5 years OR has been an active Operating Procedure Writer for a Power Reactor in the past 5 years.

We require detailed knowledge of PWR operation, systems, components, and procedures.

U.S. Citizenship or permanent resident status required (sponsorship not available).
