Key Responsibilities

• Oversee full project lifecycle — from conceptual development through closeout — ensuring scope, schedule, cost, quality, and safety targets are consistently achieved.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, procurement, and licensing teams to integrate project deliverables within established nuclear regulatory and operational frameworks.
• Manage and validate detailed cost estimates, resource forecasts, and schedule performance across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Utilize data-driven tools and methodologies to support project tracking, forecasting, and decision-making.
• Provide transparent communication, risk management, and performance reporting to senior leadership and key stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, company policies, and all NRC, INPO, and OSHA safety and quality requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 9 years of project management experience, OR 5 years of project management experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university.
• Proven proficiency in project management principles, cost estimating, and coordination of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex capital projects in highly regulated environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Business Administration, Project Management, Engineering Management, or a related field.
• PMP, CAPM, CMII, or Professional Engineer (P.E.) certification strongly preferred.
• Experience with project scheduling, cost controls, and performance tracking tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, Power BI, etc.).
• Background in utility, nuclear, or energy infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of construction management principles, project governance, and risk management frameworks.

Why This Role Matters

This is a pivotal opportunity to join a Fortune 50 leader in nuclear and energy innovation, contributing to one of the largest and most strategic initiatives in the organization’s portfolio. You will play a key role in ensuring project excellence, safety compliance, and operational performance across two major nuclear generating stations.

The successful candidate will thrive in a collaborative, high-stakes environment, where technical precision, leadership, and problem-solving make a measurable impact on the company’s long-term energy strategy.
