Nuclear Program Project Manager

Position Summary

The Nuclear Program Project Manager is responsible for managing complex fabrication projects performed under nuclear quality requirements, including ASME NQA-1, customer nuclear quality assurance programs, safety‑related requirements, commercial‑grade dedication requirements, nuclear procurement requirements, and project‑specific quality plans. This position is focused on fabrication work in highly controlled quality environments where documentation, traceability, procurement control, inspection coordination, configuration management, corrective action, and final records turnover are critical to successful project execution.

The primary objective is to safely deliver assigned projects on time, within scope, within budget, and in strict compliance with contract requirements, applicable codes and standards, nuclear quality requirements, customer specifications, company procedures, and project documentation requirements. This role requires strong project management discipline, complex fabrication experience, nuclear quality program experience, and the ability to coordinate effectively with customers, QA/QC, engineering, inspectors, auditors, suppliers, subcontractors, production teams, and executive management.

• Manage assigned nuclear and nuclear‑adjacent fabrication projects from contract award through final records turnover and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project work plans that address scope, schedule, budget, procurement, fabrication sequencing, inspection requirements, documentation requirements, customer hold points, delivery milestones, and closeout obligations.
• Coordinate internal execution with Engineering, Detailing, Procurement, Shop Operations, QA/QC, Nuclear Quality, Coatings, EHS, Logistics, Accounting, and Executive Management.
• Identify project risks, develop mitigation plans, and notify management of issues that may affect schedule, cost, quality, safety, documentation, compliance, delivery, or customer satisfaction.
• Prepare and maintain project controls, including status reports, schedule updates, open issue logs, risk logs, budget updates, document status reports, quality action items, and forecast‑at‑completion reporting.

• Manage projects performed under ASME NQA‑1, customer nuclear quality assurance program requirements, safety‑related requirements, or project‑specific nuclear quality plans.
• Ensure project activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures, contract documents, quality assurance requirements, inspection/test plans, procurement controls, document control requirements, and customer specifications.
• Coordinate with QA/QC and Nuclear Quality to ensure compliance with requirements for quality planning, inspection, testing, supplier control, material traceability, document control, nonconformance control, corrective action, calibration, records management, and final documentation packages.
• Support customer audits, source inspections, surveillances, quality reviews, corrective action responses, and project‑specific quality meetings.
• Ensure nuclear quality records are properly generated, reviewed, retained, and submitted in accordance with project, customer, and program requirements.

• Manage complex fabrication involving structural steel, plate fabrication, heavy weldments, supports, frames, tanks, platforms, skids, modules, embedments, lifting devices, access systems, specialty assemblies, and other fabricated items requiring high levels of quality control and documentation.
• Coordinate project requirements involving engineering drawings, shop drawings, customer specifications, welding procedures, NDE, dimensional inspection, coatings, testing, packaging, preservation, shipping, and final acceptance.
• Ensure fabrication teams understand project‑specific hold points, witness points, inspection sequencing, documentation requirements, customer approvals, and release requirements.
• Resolve technical, quality, drawing, material, fabrication, documentation, and customer‑driven issues with Engineering, QA/QC, Nuclear…
