Responsibilities

Imagine a day where you lead a dynamic team, balancing priorities, ensuring quality, and meeting deadlines while driving project success. You’re the key liaison, approving designs, mentoring engineers, and building strong client relationships. Your leadership fosters growth, solves technical challenges, and ensures your unit thrives—delivering outstanding results and advancing both individual and company success

Strategic Impact : Power uprates are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy, driven by recently passed legislation aimed at accelerating clean energy deployment. This role places you at the center of that transformation. Power uprates are the quickest and most cost-effective way to bring more nuclear power on-line

Career Springboard: With the U.S. targeting a fourfold increase in nuclear capacity—from ~100 GW today to 400 GW by 2050—power uprates are anticipated to only contribute approximately 8 GW. To meet this ambitious goal, the industry will soon shift focus to designing and constructing new reactors, including advanced and small modular reactor technologies. This role positions you to transition seamlessly into those future projects, giving you a front-row seat to the next generation of nuclear development

Unit Leadership & Management: Serve as the focal point for initial unit contact to Management, Project Managers (PMs), and other internal constituents. Direct/assign work to the unit to balance activities between work groups and individuals. Approve timesheets and expense reports. Conduct unit’s annual performance appraisals. Support management in recruiting new employees

Quality Control & Technical Oversight: Maintain responsibility for the unit’s quality; establish and enforce quality standards for the unit through the Lead Engineers. Certify design documents as required by state and local client and code requirements. Demonstrate technical leadership, providing resolution to technical issues either through own knowledge or by coordination with Subject Matter Expert

Project Management & Client Relations: Work with Project Managers, ensure unit’s responsibility to meet budget and schedule for assigned projects. Approve engineering documents produced by the unit. Lead proposal preparation with input for scope and budget to PMs. Develop professional relationships with client counterparts. Assist in marketing the unit’s expertise/abilities to clients

Staff Development & Performance: Provide timely and appropriate performance feedback and coaching. Promote professional development of staff (e.g., professional license, certifications, training, mentoring, and client qualifications)

Administrative Support: Support company policies and procedures. Support maintenance of short- and long-range staffing plans based on work projections
