Project Quality Manager

Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years.

We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval.

By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.

The Project Quality Manager is a senior leadership role within Blue Energy's Quality Assurance organization, reporting directly to the Director, Quality, and owning project-level quality execution across engineering, procurement, and construction activities. This role manages the Project Quality Assurance (PQA) Leads and Project Quality Engineers (PQE) assigned per project, developing project quality plans, executing surveillances and hold-point inspections, and verifying that deliverables meet contractual and regulatory acceptance criteria.

This role will initially include Quality Control responsibility

This position will help ensure alignment with NRC regulatory requirements, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1, and ASME BPVC keeping project execution defensible and audit-ready as Blue Energy's nuclear development program moves from licensing into construction.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced, innovative project quality professional who thrives in highly regulated environments and is motivated to develop an initial project quality program growing it to scale a for FOAK gas-to-nuclear site development program.

• Develop and maintain project quality plans aligned to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1, ASME III and contractual/regulatory acceptance criteria.
• Establish quality hold points, witness points, and surveillance schedules for each active project.
• Maintain project-level quality metrics and reporting to support leadership visibility and NRC inspection readiness.

• Perform and oversee site surveillances, hold-point inspections, and receipt inspections across active project sites.
• Review purchase orders and contracts to verify correct quality requirements are specified before award.
• Verify deliverables meet contractual and regulatory acceptance criteria prior to release or turnover.
• Identify, track, and ensure proper closeout of non-conforming conditions and conditions adverse to quality.

• Coordinate with Supplier Quality on audits, assessments, and approved-supplier status for project-assigned suppliers.
• Support disposition of nonconformances and corrective actions identified during project execution through the Corrective Action Program (CAP).

• Maintain dashboards and reporting tools that provide visibility into surveillance status, inspection findings, and outstanding actions.
• Support internal and NRC or third-party audits and inspections related to project quality.
• Ensure documentation and records generated by project quality activities are controlled per Document Control and Records…
