Review the position below and apply today.

To help build its workforce for the future, Dominion Energy Nuclear (DE) will be strategically adding Senior Reactor Operators in Training (SROIT) at some of its four nuclear power stations. This ongoing job posting is designed to support DE's effort to expand its pipeline of top talent to meet its short-term, mid-term, and long-term needs. Applicants are advised that DE's specific hiring needs at each station will change over time which will influence the scheduling of interviews and future start dates. DE strives to communicate clearly with candidates on these important elements.

A Senior Reactor Operator In Training is being prepared to manage the overall safe, reliable, and efficient operation of a nuclear power plant, under all conditions, in accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations and Dominion's Operating Specifications and Standards. Upon successful completion of the 18-24 month licensed training program (classroom phase), incumbents will be qualified to provide technical and operational leadership to assist with the supervision of licensed and non-licensed nuclear operators on an assigned shift.

• Preparation for exercising control over the conduct of maintenance operations on all plant equipment during the shift.

Unit Supervisor trainees will direct the work of licensed and non-licensed operators during 520 hours of in-plant time during training with a licensed SRO providing oversight of their activities. Once licensed, incumbents will be authorized to make decisions regarding shutting down the plant due to emergent problems.

At all times, the SRO must demonstrate leadership and sincere attention to all matters affecting nuclear safety. They must be skilled in giving clear work direction, making decisions, and problem resolution.
