Full Time Blue Energy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

Nuclear energy is having its biggest moment in a generation. Blue Energy is at the center of it, and we don't have a comms function yet.

We're hiring our first Head of Communications to own how the company shows up publicly and internally. How we talk to investors, partners, policymakers, employees, and the press. You'll work directly with the CEO office and Head of Government Affairs to build the narrative from scratch and make sure it holds together as the company scales.

This is a category-level storytelling job. You're not just positioning a company. You're helping shape how the public, regulators, and capital markets understand a new generation of nuclear infrastructure. The raw material is strong: an MIT-founded team, a reactor-agnostic plant designed for fab yard manufacturing, NRC regulatory traction, and a 1.5GW project in Texas breaking ground later this year. Your job is to turn that into a story that travels.

• Narrative and strategy.

  • Own the company's communications framework. Translate complex technical, regulatory, and commercial work into clear storytelling. Ensure consistency across every audience: investors, partners, policymakers, employees, media.

• PR and media.

  • Lead all media strategy and execution. Manage relationships with external PR firms, outlets, and advisors. Identify the moments that matter and shape how we show up for them. Prepare executives and partners for interviews, panels, and public appearances.

• Partner and ecosystem storytelling.

  • Work with commercial, development, and partnership teams to tell the story of our collaborations. Coordinate joint announcements. Make sure partners are represented accurately and strategically. Our credibility is tied to theirs and vice versa.

• Internal communications.

  • Build a clear, consistent internal cadence as we grow from ~50 to 150+ people across multiple locations. Make sure employees understand not just what we're doing but why.

• Government and policy alignment.

  • Partner with the Head of Government Affairs to align public messaging with regulatory and policy strategy. Support communications around permitting, public sector engagement, and regulatory milestones.

• Build the function.

  • You're the first full-time hire. Establish the processes, tools, and operating rhythms. Define when and how the company communicates externally. Operate hands‑on now, with a path to building a team as the company grows.

• 10+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or strategic communications, ideally within energy, infrastructure, climate tech, aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated industries.

• Demonstrated success developing and executing communications strategies for complex organizations with multiple external stakeholders.

• Proven experience leading media relations and PR strategy.

• Strong ability to translate technical, regulatory, and commercial concepts into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Experience partnering closely with executive leadership, government affairs, and commercial teams.

• Track record of building or scaling a communications function, either as an early hire or in a rapidly growing organization.

• Exceptional writing, editorial, and storytelling skills with strong strategic judgment and the ability to operate effectively in fast‑moving environments.

You've led comms in fast‑moving organizations where the stakes were real and the story was complex. You know how to work with regulators, investors, and the press without getting tripped up by any of them. You've probably worked in energy, infrastructure, climate tech, aerospace, defense, or government, somewhere with meaningful public sector and regulatory exposure.

Strong candidates will bring most of the following:

• Experience leading communications in high‑growth or scaling organizations.

• Background in sectors with regulatory, public sector, or international dimensions.

• Demonstrated PR and media strategy experience.

• Comfort working with senior executives and high‑visibility external stakeholders.

• Experience building a comms function or operating as an early hire in one.

Start‑up experience is a strong plus but not required.

• Strong strategic judgment. Knows when to speak and when not to.

• Exceptional writer and communicator.

• Can synthesize technical, regulatory, and commercial information quickly.

• High ownership. Comfortable in ambiguity.

• Collaborative across leadership, government affairs, and commercial teams.

• Interested in shaping how an entire category is understood, not just putting out company announcements.

We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

Blue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the right candidate for this or other roles at Blue Energy now or in the future.
