About the role

As a Program Manager supporting our Nuclear Power Plant Uprate team, you will be technically responsible for all aspects of Uprate projects at Nuclear Power Plants, with a focus on Balance of Plant License Basis and physical plant modifications. You will coordinate evaluation of required modifications needed to support uprate power levels (i.e. replacement of important components such as pumps, motors, heat exchangers). A working knowledge of the thermal cycle at a power plant is required. Previous experience on uprate or similar large-scale projects.

You will report to the Manager of Projects. This is a remote position and may require being onsite at plants during projects. Periodic travel to client sites will also be required.

Key Responsibilities

• Technically responsible for entire project scope for assigned projects. Due to the technical leadership expected, you will focus on a limited number of projects or a single plant uprate.
• Oversee and provide input to the development of cost estimates and offers for associated projects and support customer negotiations; be an advocate for Westinghouse value‑added opportunities at customer sites.
• Support the project manager in driving safe, event‑free, first‑time quality project delivery including maintaining the schedule, tracking and projecting financials, logging all project details, and active management with internal and external communications. Develop and implement recovery plans when projects are off‑track.
• Be an important technical contact with clients, suppliers, sub‑vendors, and our teams, including senior Westinghouse leadership for all project‑related communications.
• Coordinate development of technical responses to issues. Manage teams of engineers to prioritize and evaluate technical challenges and design solutions to issues.
• Cultivate relationships with team members, customers, and other partners (e.g., internal management) in a matrix environment to facilitate successful project completion and identify opportunities for additional business growth.
• Implement mitigating actions for risks throughout the entire project lifecycle and seek cost‑sharing opportunities with clients.
• Present monthly project review meetings with Westinghouse executive management.
• Present scheduled client status meetings (quarterly) with senior leadership representation from Westinghouse and the client.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required in Engineering, Science, or Construction Management.
• 5 years of experience with large high‑complexity projects at Nuclear Power Plants is required. 10+ years is preferred.
• Specific experience preferred in the area of nuclear power plant integrated systems operation with a focus on balance of plant (thermal cycle) design and operation. Previously licensed nuclear power plant operators are welcome.
• Experience providing technical leadership on large high‑value field‑based projects at Nuclear plants. Outage support and experience complying with nuclear Appendix B quality assurance programs is desired.

The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications, and skills, is estimated to be ($144,000 to $180,000).
