Job description

Blue Energy's mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

• Serve as a trusted partner to hiring managers, working closely with the leadership team on high-priority searches.
• Partner with external recruiters or agencies when needed for specific hard-to-fill roles.
• Contribute to talent strategy and play a key role in shaping how we build and scale hiring over time.

Qualifications : Experience :
