Job description

Company Overview

Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.

Role Summary

The Senior Document Controller is a senior individual contributor within Blue Energy’s Document Control and Records Management (DCRM) group and serves as the deputy to the Document Control & Records Manager. Reporting directly to the DCRM Manager, executing and advancing the enterprise-wide program, deputizing for the Manager as needed, and serving as the operational backbone of the group by supporting EDMS implementation and administration, developing and maintaining controlled processes, and providing advanced document control expertise across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

DCRM Program & Governance

EDMS Implementation & Administration

• Apply and help standardize templates, naming conventions, document numbering, and change-tracking across the company.

Document Control Operations

• Maintain and refine procedures for document creation, review, approval, release, distribution, and archiving.
• Manage document transmittals and workflows, ensuring accurate and timely distribution to internal and external stakeholders.
• Support document review and approval processes, including formatting, editing, and electronic signature tracking.

Reporting, Quality & Compliance

• Maintain dashboards and reporting tools that provide visibility into document status, review progress, and outstanding actions.
• Conduct regular quality checks and system assessments to ensure data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance.
• Support storage, maintenance, and archiving both electronic and hard-copy records by retention schedules.

Team & Stakeholder Support

• Provide guidance to junior and project-based document controllers on controlled processes, tools, and best practices as the group scales.
• Partner with engineering, quality, regulatory, and project teams to support document creation, revisions, and releases throughout the project lifecycle.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in document control and records management, preferably within a complex, highly regulated environment.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of NRC regulations, ASME NQA-1, and NIRMA standards.
• Hands-on experience administering or implementing an EDMS (e.g., SharePoint, Documentum, M-Files, or comparable platforms).
• Advanced proficiency with SharePoint and Microsoft Office, including Excel-based registers, logs, and tracking tools.
• Strong command of document numbering, revision control, transmittals, and distribution management.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to bring structure to fast-moving environments.

• Experience developing document control procedures from the ground up in a program build-out setting.
• Familiarity with ISO 19650 status codes and contractor document control interfaces.
