Senior Vice President, Deployment

About the role

The Senior Vice President, Deployment is TNC’s fleet-level owner of nuclear project execution from FEL-3 through fuel load. This role owns the company’s deployment methodology, EPC contractor relationships, construction execution, and commissioning capability across all TNC projects in the pipeline. It is one of the most consequential hires TNC will make. TNC’s Build-Own-Operate model depends on a deployment capability that is repeatable, credible, and improving with each project.

The SVP, Deployment is responsible for building that capability from the ground up — establishing the systems, processes, standards, and team that will allow TNC to execute nuclear construction projects at fleet scale. This is not a role for someone who wants to run one project. It is a role for someone who wants to build the operational infrastructure that makes TNC a world-class nuclear developer and operator.

The SVP, Deployment’s first and most enduring responsibility is building TNC’s deployment capability as a repeatable, scalable organizational competency. Individual project performance matters; fleet-level deployment capability matters more.

Establish TNC’s deployment methodology — the standardized processes, playbooks, stage gate frameworks, and decision-making structures that govern how TNC executes nuclear construction projects. This methodology is a competitive asset; it must be built deliberately and improved with every project.

Own the lessons learned function across deployment projects — ensuring that every project execution experience, whether successful or not, is captured, analyzed, and incorporated into the next project’s execution plan. TNC’s Vogtle-era experience is the starting point; the SVP, Deployment builds on it systematically.

Develop and maintain the deployment team’s organizational capability — recruiting, developing, and retaining the engineering, construction, and project management talent that TNC needs to execute at fleet scale. The team this person builds will determine what TNC can accomplish over the next decade.

Establish TNC’s quality standards for deployment activities — coordinating with the SVP, Regulatory Affairs, Quality & Training to ensure deployment execution meets NQA-1 requirements and positions TNC as a demonstrably credible nuclear constructor.

FEL-3 is the phase where development transitions to deployment. The SVP, Deployment enters during this phase, working alongside the SVP, Project Development during the handoff period. Entering too late creates execution risk at FID; entering well creates the conditions for a strong construction start.

Engage during FEL-3 on all active TNC projects — assessing site readiness, construction execution strategy, EPC contractor selection, and the completeness of the technical and commercial package required to support a credible FID.

Own EPC contractor selection and contracting strategy — from pre-qualification through contract execution. The EPC contractor relationship is the single most consequential vendor relationship in TNC’s deployment model; the SVP, Deployment owns it at the fleet level.

Validate the FEL-3 package from a deployment perspective — confirming that the project schedule, cost estimate, Division of Responsibilities, and construction execution strategy are credible and executable before FID is recommended.

Coordinate with the SVP, Project Development on the FEL-3 handoff — ensuring a complete, documented transition of project accountability from the development team to the deployment team. The handoff is not a single event; it is a managed transition with defined milestones and shared accountability during the overlap period.

From FID through construction completion, the SVP, Deployment owns the project. EPC contractor performance, schedule, cost, quality, and safety are all accountability items for this role — not just oversight items.

Own EPC contractor performance across all active construction projects — holding the contractor accountable to schedule, cost, quality, and safety standards through rigorous owner…
