About NuVision Engineering
NuVision Engineering (NVE), Inc. is a project-based engineering services company supporting the commercial nuclear power and government nuclear sectors, including nuclear remediation, radioactive waste management, and specialty nuclear services.

Supplier & Subcontractor Oversight
  • Review supplier and subcontractor documentation for compliance with purchase orders and QA requirements
  • Support supplier qualification, oversight, and surveillance activities (as required)
  • Provide QA support for vendor audits and evaluations

Audits & Assessments
  • Plan, perform, and support internal and external audits
  • Support customer, regulatory, and third-party audits
  • Track audit findings, corrective actions, and effectiveness reviews

Corrective Action & Continuous Improvement
  • Support the corrective action program, including issue identification, root cause analysis, and corrective action development
  • Monitor quality trends and program effectiveness
  • Recommend improvements to processes and procedures based on lessons learned

Safety, Health and Environmental
  • Ensure quality activities are performed in accordance with applicable Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) requirements, and identify, document, and escalate SHE concerns encountered during quality work
  • Support integration of SHE considerations into quality procedures, project plans, and supplier oversight activities, and reinforce safe work practices during QA-related engagements

Qualifications
Required
  • 2+ years of Quality Assurance experience in the commercial nuclear industry or government nuclear work
  • Hands-on experience working under ASME NQA-1 and/or 10 CFR 50 Appendix B
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field
  • Experience working in a project-based engineering or services organization
  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and contractual requirements
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred
  • ASME or ANSI Lead Auditor certification
  • Experience supporting engineering services, field services, or project execution (not manufacturing)
  • Familiarity with customer-specific nuclear QA flow-down requirements

Travel
  • Up to 10% travel, domestic and occasional international, to support projects, audits, and customer engagements
