Opportunity Overview: We have a dynamic, diverse opportunity available for a formerly licensed Senior Reactor Operator. This is a contract role based at Westinghouse World Headquarters in Cranberry Twp, PA but will consider remote candidates. You will report to the Sr. Manager, Engineering Nuclear Operations, Training, and Commissioning.

Building your skills based on operating plant experience in the field, combined with new plant development, will be a major accelerator for your career in the nuclear industry.

 

Your Day-to-Day:

• Apply knowledge about integrated plant operations to develop/update the way control room operators run plants with operating procedures in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions.
• Validate various scenarios in control room simulators, before training reactor operators with them and implementing them in plants worldwide.
• Scope of work will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.
• Develop test procedures supporting commissioning of new plants (like the AP1000) to demonstrate the functionality of components and systems from pre-op testing through the startup phases.
• Develop plant operation and operating procedure for the Westinghouse eVinci™ Micro Reactor and AP300 Small Modular Reactor designs to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Work with existing customers and internal team to develop NOPs, AOPs, EOPs, FSGs, and other related documents for the operating fleet including the AP1000.
• Collaboration with new plant designers and licensed reactor operators to define the best and safest way to operate nuclear plants.
• As an author of operating and test procedures, you may support the commissioning of new plants worldwide.
