  • Experience in evaluating materials performance and degradation under high-temperature, radiation, or corrosive environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Nuclear, or related Engineering discipline (advanced degree preferred).


Desired Skills/Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with industry programs (PWR Owners Group, MRP-227, BWRVIP, or DOE advanced reactor initiatives).
  • Background in monitoring technologies, welding, fracture mechanics, fatigue, or corrosion science.
  • NDE certification or materials engineering specialization.
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate inspection and monitoring results into risk-informed integrity management strategies.
  • Active involvement in technical organizations such as ASME, ASTM, ANS, or EPRI working groups.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
