Job description

Radiological Worker — Chemical Processing

About Raven-Flint

Raven-Flint Nuclear Corporation is building the first uranium conversion plant designed from the ground up to operate without elemental fluorine (F2). Conversion is the critical, under-supplied step that turns uranium oxide into the uranium hexafluoride (UF6) feedstock the enrichment industry depends on — and we intend to rebuild that capability on U.S. soil with a process that is fundamentally safer and simpler.We are headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and we scale in three deliberate stages. Match, our bench-scale proof of the process chemistry, is due in 2026. Torch, our pilot plant, comes online in Idaho in mid-2028 and will convert 500 metric tons of uranium per year into UF6. Forge, our full commercial plant, follows by 2030.We are well funded, the roadmap is clear, and our only real constraint is time. We believe hardware testing — not paperwork — is the truest measure of progress, and we are moving fast to take our chemistry out of the lab and into a running plant. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to rebuild a critical piece of the nuclear fuel cycle on American soil — and if you want to see your designs cut metal, get built, and run, there is no better place to be.

The Role

We are seeking a hands-on Radiological Worker with laboratory experience to support the chemical processing of uranium ore concentrate (yellowcake, U₃O₈) into uranium hexafluoride (UF6). This is a safety-critical position requiring strict adherence to radiological controls, chemical safety protocols, laboratory procedures, and regulatory requirements.

What you'll do

• Perform hands-on laboratory and process work with uranium compounds in solid and gas phases across conversion process steps
• Work in fume hoods, gloveboxes, and engineered containment
• Prepare samples and support analytical work; label, log, and maintain chain of custody for laboratory samples
• Conduct routine radiological surveys, contamination checks, and swipe sampling
• Maintain accurate laboratory notebooks, batch records, logs, and condition reports
• Assemble and test hazardous compressed gas systems
• Support decontamination, waste segregation, and radioactive material shipping/receiving

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED; coursework in chemistry or a laboratory science preferred at this level
• Demonstrated experience working in a laboratory environment, with familiarity in common laboratory practices and procedures
• Ability to follow written procedures exactly and maintain precise records
• Prior qualification as a radiological worker
• Physical capability to lift up to 50 lbs, work in PPE for extended periods, and stand at bench/hood stations for extended periods
• Strong procedural compliance orientation, attention to detail, and a questioning attitude
• Willingness to work rotating shifts, weekends, and overtime as operational needs require
• Preferred Qualifications
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in chemistry, chemical technology, or a related field
• Prior radiological worker experience at an NRC- or DOE-regulated facility (fuel cycle facility, conversion/enrichment plant, mill, national laboratory, or nuclear power plant)
• Current or previous Rad Worker II qualification
• Experience with hazardous chemical handling, including hydrofluoric acid awareness or fluorine-compound safety training
• Glovebox and inert-atmosphere technique experience
• Experience with analytical instrumentation or laboratory quality programs (e.g., QA/QC, GLP-style documentation)
• Equity / stock options
• Medical health insurance
• Unlimited paid time off and holidays
• Relocation assistance to the Idaho Falls area
