How much do remote nuclear safety jobs pay per year?
What is the difference between Remote Nuclear Safety vs Remote Nuclear Regulatory Compliance?
| Aspect | Remote Nuclear Safety | Remote Nuclear Regulatory Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | NEBOSH, NRC licenses, safety certifications | NRC licenses, compliance certifications |
| Work Environment | Safety assessments, incident prevention, safety protocols | Regulatory documentation, audits, compliance reporting |
| Industry Usage | Power plants, nuclear facilities, safety consulting | Regulatory agencies, nuclear operators, compliance oversight |
Remote Nuclear Safety focuses on ensuring safety protocols and risk mitigation in nuclear environments, while Remote Nuclear Regulatory Compliance emphasizes adherence to regulations and legal standards set by authorities. Both roles require similar certifications and often overlap in industry settings, but their core responsibilities differ: safety management versus compliance enforcement.

Job description
Throughout our worldwide network of experts, clients and communities, we are renowned for our leadership in fire protection engineering - a legacy of responsibility we have proudly upheld since 1939. Today, our expertise extends broadly across closely related security and risk-based fields - from accessibility consulting and risk analysis to process safety, forensic investigations, security risk consulting, emergency management, digital innovation and more.
Our engineers and consultants collaborate to solve complex safety and security challenges, ensuring our clients can protect what matters most. For over 80 years, we have helped mitigate risks that threaten lives, property and reputations. Through technology, expertise and industry-leading research, we remain dedicated to our purpose of making our world safe, secure and resilient.
At Jensen Hughes, we believe that creating and sustaining a culture of trust, integrity and professional growth starts with putting our people first. Our employees are our greatest strength, and we value the unique perspectives and talents they bring to our organization.
Our wide range of Global Employee Networks connect people from across the organization, supporting career development and providing forums for individuals to share experiences on topics they're passionate about. Together, we are cultivating a connected culture where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed together.
Job Overview
Jensen Hughes is seeking entry-level to senior-level Engineers with experience in Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) or Advanced Nuclear or licensing experience related to risk-based methods. In this role, you'll partner with global leaders in the nuclear industry on projects that directly influence risk and reliability, plant safety, regulatory decision-making, and next-generation PRA techniques. Those who have adjacent experience to nuclear industry risk-based work are encouraged to apply.
Our PRA team is based in West Chester, PA, but we know top talent isn't confined by geography. Remote work is available for qualified candidates.
If you're looking to deepen your expertise, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow in a collaborative environment, this is the place for you.
Responsibilities
You'll have opportunities to contribute across a variety of areas, such as:
- PRA Modeling & Analysis - developing and enhancing PRA models for internal events, fire, seismic, and external hazards
- Risk-Informed Applications - supporting licensing and regulatory strategies that impact plant operations (e.g., RICT, 50.69, ILRT extensions)
- Tools & Innovation - applying online risk tools and exploring advanced methods, including optimization approaches
- Human Reliability & Accident Analysis - conducting HRA and evaluating severe accident scenarios
- Advanced Nuclear - supporting regulatory and risk initiatives for next-generation nuclear (e.g., NEI 18-04, LMP, ESP and siting)
- Client & Regulatory Support - providing consulting expertise, preparing regulatory submittals, and delivering solutions that improve safety and efficiency
(You don't need to check every box. Experience in one or more PRA domains is a great foundation, and we'll help you grow into new areas.)
Core Responsibilities
- Conduct PRA analyses, calculations, and risk-informed engineering evaluations
- Collaborate with colleagues and clients to deliver practical, innovative solutions
- Communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Mentor and support early-career engineers through knowledge-sharing and guidance
- Advise and interpret new and advanced nuclear regulations, methods, and approaches to support industry (e.g., NEI) and advanced nuclear vendor needs
- Contribute to business growth by building relationships and identifying opportunities
Requirements and Qualifications
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (or equivalent PRA-related experience)
- Experience with nuclear plant or advanced nuclear PRA, operations, licensing, or engineering
- Strong analytical skills and a commitment to nuclear safety
- Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal
- United States citizen or lawful permanent resident
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of PRA experience (10+ for senior-level consideration)
- Hands-on experience in PRA (internal events, fire PRA, external hazards, or risk-informed applications)
- Familiarity with NRC risk-informed processes
- Prior consulting or client-facing experience
- Project management or technical leadership experience
Why Join Us?
- Make an Impact: Your work will directly improve nuclear safety and influence regulatory decisions.
- Grow Your Career: We invest in your development through mentorship, training, and exposure to advanced projects.
- Collaborative Culture: Work with a diverse, talented team that values knowledge-sharing and innovation.
- Flexibility: Remote work options available for qualified candidates.
We encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet every requirement. If you're passionate about nuclear safety and eager to grow in PRA, we'd love to hear from you.
