What is a nuclear welder?

A Nuclear Welding job involves joining metal components in nuclear power plants, submarines, or other facilities that handle radioactive materials. Welders in this field must follow strict safety procedures and quality standards to ensure the structural integrity of critical systems. They often work with specialized welding techniques, such as TIG or laser welding, to handle high-strength materials. Due to the high-risk environment, nuclear welders need certifications, such as those from the American Welding Society (AWS) or Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). This career offers strong job security and high earning potential for skilled professionals.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a nuclear welder?

To thrive in nuclear welding, you need advanced welding skills, in-depth knowledge of metallurgy, and experience working under strict safety protocols, typically backed by certifications like ASME or AWS and specialized nuclear welding qualifications. Proficiency in using precision welding equipment, non-destructive testing (NDT) tools, and compliance with nuclear regulatory standards is common in this field. Strong attention to detail, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities help nuclear welders excel in high-stakes environments. These skills are essential to ensure the structural integrity and safety of components critical to nuclear facilities and to meet the industry's rigorous quality requirements.

What is the typical work environment for a nuclear welder?

Nuclear welders often work in highly controlled environments such as power plants, fabrication shops, or on-site installations, where cleanliness and safety protocols are strictly enforced. The role involves close collaboration with engineers, inspectors, and other skilled tradespeople to complete projects according to precise specifications and regulatory standards. Work is generally done as part of a team, with clear communication and adherence to detailed procedures being crucial for safety and quality. Shifts can vary depending on project needs, and you may occasionally be required to work in confined spaces or under time-sensitive schedules, which makes teamwork and adaptability especially important.

How do you get into nuclear welding?

To become a nuclear welder, you typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by specialized training in welding techniques and safety. Certification from organizations like the American Welding Society (AWS) and a background check are often required, along with experience in industrial or nuclear environments and knowledge of radiation safety protocols.

Job description

Nuclear Program Project Manager - Complex Fabrication and NQA-1 Programs
Position Summary
The Nuclear Program Project Manager is responsible for managing complex fabrication projects performed under nuclear quality requirements, including ASME NQA-1, customer nuclear quality assurance programs, safety-related requirements, commercial-grade dedication requirements, nuclear procurement requirements, and project-specific quality plans.
This position is focused on fabrication work in highly controlled quality environments where documentation, traceability, procurement control, inspection coordination, configuration management, corrective action, and final records turnover are critical to successful project execution.
The primary objective is to safely deliver assigned projects on time, within scope, within budget, and in strict compliance with contract requirements, applicable codes and standards, nuclear quality requirements, customer specifications, company procedures, and project documentation requirements.
This role requires strong project management discipline, complex fabrication experience, nuclear quality program experience, and the ability to coordinate effectively with customers, QA/QC, engineering, inspectors, auditors, suppliers, subcontractors, production teams, and executive management.
Essential Functions
Project Management and Execution
  • Manage assigned nuclear and nuclear-adjacent fabrication projects from contract award through final records turnover and closeout.

  • Coordinate internal execution with Engineering, Detailing, Procurement, Shop Operations, QA/QC, Nuclear Quality, Coatings, EHS, Logistics, Accounting, and Executive Management.
  • Identify project risks, develop mitigation plans, and notify management of issues that may affect schedule, cost, quality, safety, documentation, compliance, delivery, or customer satisfaction.
  • Prepare and maintain project controls, including status reports, schedule updates, open issue logs, risk logs, budget updates, document status reports, quality action items, and forecast-at-completion reporting.
NQA-1 and Nuclear Quality Program Responsibilities
  • Manage projects performed under ASME NQA-1, customer nuclear quality assurance program requirements, safety-related requirements, or project-specific nuclear quality plans.
  • Ensure project activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures, contract documents, quality assurance requirements, inspection/test plans, procurement controls, document control requirements, and customer specifications.
  • Coordinate with QA/QC and Nuclear Quality to ensure compliance with requirements for quality planning, inspection, testing, supplier control, material traceability, document control, nonconformance control, corrective action, calibration, records management, and final documentation packages.
  • Support customer audits, source inspections, surveillances, quality reviews, corrective action responses, and project-specific quality meetings.
  • Ensure nuclear quality records are properly generated, reviewed, retained, and submitted in accordance with project, customer, and program requirements.
Complex Fabrication Responsibilities
  • Manage complex fabrication involving structural steel, plate fabrication, heavy weldments, supports, frames, tanks, platforms, skids, modules, embedments, lifting devices, access systems, specialty assemblies, and other fabricated items requiring high levels of quality control and documentation.
  • Coordinate project requirements involving engineering drawings, shop drawings, customer specifications, welding procedures, NDE, dimensional inspection, coatings, testing, packaging, preservation, shipping, and final acceptance.
  • Ensure fabrication teams understand project-specific hold points, witness points, inspection sequencing, documentation requirements, customer approvals, and release requirements.
  • Resolve technical, quality, drawing, material, fabrication, documentation, and customer-driven issues with Engineering, QA/QC, Nuclear Quality, Procurement, production teams, suppliers, subcontractors, and customer representatives.
  • Maintain configuration control throughout the project lifecycle, including drawing revisions, approved submittals, customer comments, field changes, NCRs, deviations, corrective actions, and final as-built documentation.
Communication Management
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the customer and manage customer expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Maintain clear communication with customers, vendors, subcontractors, internal departments, inspectors, auditors, engineers, and management regarding project status, open issues, required decisions, quality requirements, documentation status, and potential impacts.
  • Conduct or participate in project kickoff meetings, internal coordination meetings, production meetings, customer meetings, quality meetings, audit meetings, and issue-resolution meetings.
Contract, Scope, Change, and Configuration Management
  • Review and understand project contracts, scopes of work, drawings, specifications, schedules, terms and conditions, quality assurance requirements, inspection requirements, documentation requirements, and customer flow-down requirements.
  • Manage contract compliance, including scope control, customer notifications, submittals, reporting requirements, schedule obligations, quality deliverables, documentation requirements, and contractual correspondence.
