Small Modular Reactor information

What is a Small Modular Reactor job?

A Small Modular Reactor (SMR) job involves working on the design, development, construction, operation, or regulation of SMRs, which are advanced nuclear reactors that are smaller and more flexible than traditional nuclear plants. Professionals in this field may include engineers, scientists, safety analysts, project managers, and regulatory specialists. These roles focus on improving reactor efficiency, ensuring safety, and advancing clean energy solutions. SMR jobs exist in government agencies, private companies, and research institutions working to develop next-generation nuclear technology.

What are some typical daily responsibilities for a Small Modular Reactor Engineer?

As a Small Modular Reactor Engineer, your daily tasks might include performing system analyses, monitoring reactor performance, reviewing safety protocols, and collaborating with other engineering disciplines to troubleshoot technical challenges. You may also be involved in preparing regulatory reports, overseeing construction or installation activities, and participating in design reviews or risk assessments. Working closely with project managers, safety specialists, and government regulators is common to ensure all reactor operations meet stringent safety and quality standards. This role offers a dynamic and collaborative work environment, with frequent opportunities to apply technical expertise to innovative, real-world energy solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Small Modular Reactor position, and why are they important?

To excel in a Small Modular Reactor Engineer role, candidates need a solid background in nuclear engineering, mechanical or electrical engineering, and strong analytical abilities, often supported by a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Familiarity with nuclear reactor simulation software, regulatory compliance tools, and safety certification (such as a Professional Engineer license or NRC qualification) is highly valued. Effective communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills are key for coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and ensuring regulatory standards are met. These qualifications are crucial to designing, operating, and maintaining advanced nuclear systems safely and efficiently within a regulated environment.

W2 Pay Rate: $60.00 - $80.00/hour (Commensurate with experience)
Citizen Status: Due to Federal DOE regulations, U.S. Citizenship is required
Location: Remote with occasional travel
Position Summary
Reporting to the Manager of Radiological Engineering, this position will specialize in the areas of source terms, normal and accident dose analysis, atmospheric dispersion modeling, particle transport, reactor analysis, and shielding analysis with a focus on pressurized light-water reactors and primary systems.
This position requires a self-motivated professional with experience working in a remote platform (Webex, phone, email), with the necessary qualification to obtain U.S. export-controlled software through the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC).
Our client is searching for someone with experience interfacing with NRC regulations in support of modifications to a nuclear power reactor design or operating license, or supporting an application review of these types of NRC licensing qualifications.
Responsibilities
  • Perform engineering calculations and analysis using industry-standard methods and simulation tools (e.g., NRCDose, SCALE, RADTRAD, MCNP, and ADVANTG) with little to no supervision.
  • Develop resolutions to complex problems that require the frequent use of creativity and innovation.
  • Plan, organize, and perform innovative and complex engineering assignments on a team dedicated to the development of an engineering project; interpret scope and requirements of projects; develop alternatives.
  • Commits to the understanding and implementation of quality assurance regulations, standards, and guidelines of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, and ASME NQA-1.
  • Exercise judgment within broadly defined policies and practices using professional principles and company objectives to resolve complex issues.
  • Interact with internal peers and management on matters requiring coordination within the department and sector
  • Represent the department as a technical resource both inside and outside the department.
  • Mentor and train junior engineers.
Education / Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or radiological health physics is required. (An advanced degree is preferred.)
  • 5+ years of experience in nuclear/radiological engineering or health physics is required.
  • Must have at least 2 years (either additional or concurrent) experience in Pressure Water Reactor (PWR) or Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design analysis using radiological engineering software such as NRCDose, SCALE, RADTRAD, MCNP, and ADVANTG.
  • Must be eligible to work under Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 810.
JSG offers access to medical, dental, vision, life insurance options, short-term disability, 401(k), weekly pay, and more. Johnson Service Group (JSG) is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
