Proven client-facing leadership with pursuits/proposals or expanding client scope.
Ability to meet site access requirements (background checks, fitness-for-duty, security badging).

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end delivery of nuclear power generation projects (e.g., plant modifications, life extension, uprates, new equipment integration, engineering studies, licensing support, outage support, and capital programs).
Establish delivery approach, governance, and execution plans, aligning scope, deliverables, milestones, and acceptance criteria with client expectations.
Direct multi-disciplinary teams (engineering, environmental, licensing, project controls, procurement support, construction/outage coordination) and manage subcontractors/vendors.
Drive interface management across plant stakeholders (operations, maintenance, engineering, licensing, supply chain, and site leadership).
Ensure effective closeout, lessons learned, and transition to operations where applicable.
Maintain a nuclear safety culture and ensure work is planned with appropriate rigor and accountability.
Ensure compliance with regulatory and quality requirements (e.g., QA programs, ISO 9001, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, NQA-1).
Oversee technical reviews and verification/validation activities; ensure deliverables are complete and audit-ready.
Manage project risk including nuclear safety, regulatory, schedule, and supply chain risks; implement mitigations.
Own project financial performance: budgeting, forecasting, cost control, revenue recognition inputs, invoicing, margin outcomes.
Lead schedule development and performance management; drive recovery plans when needed.
Control scope and change management; document approvals and contract compliance.
Provide clear internal and client reporting (KPIs, EV/progress, risk status, exec summaries).
Serve as primary client interface; maintain relationships at PM, engineering managers, licensing, and site leadership levels.
