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
