Job Summary

A highly motivated individual is needed to provide expert licensing direction and leadership regarding leading and supporting activities towards the development of licensing regulatory pathways and strategies that are developed internally or from the management of specialized contractors with “new build” licensing expertise.

The successful candidate will lead a “new and significant” evaluation, as needed, based on previously issued license material from the NRC or related endorsements.
