Job Description

We have an opening for a Superblock Maintenance Coordinator. The coordinator will provide advanced technical coordination and readiness integration for corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance supporting Superblock facilities, infrastructure, and associated yards. The coordinator will integrate maintenance activities across Facility Management, Operations, Nuclear System Reliability Group, I&O craft and supervision, Work Planning and Control, engineering, quality, Environment, Safety and Health, procurement, project, and programmatic organizations.

The Maintenance Coordinator will help move work from identified need through scope development, planning support, readiness verification, prioritization, scheduling, execution support, and closeout tracking.
