In this role, you will lead the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) activities, ensuring Elementl meets all regulatory requirements associated with planning, development, and implementation of regulatory strategies, licensing, and permitting of advanced nuclear power projects (ANPPs).

You will report to the Chief Executive Officer and collaborate closely with our General Counsel and Chief Development Officer. In this role, you will provide critical input into risk management, ensuring compliance strategies are built into every phase of development. You will be the interface between the Elementl team, prospective owner/operators, project stakeholders, reactor vendors and domestic and international regulatory authorities, and we'll rely on you to build strong relationships with local and federal regulators.

Requirements

Ensure compliance in the licensing documentation submitted to regulators on nuclear projects.

Consult project teams on existing regulatory precedents and monitor the state of the regulatory environment for potential impacts and influence on current and future projects while exploring creative solutions for regulatory review processes.
