determining program service levels and enhancements; assisting in the development and monitoring of program budgets; and providing technical guidance to project teams, support departments, and matrixed resources.

• Bachelor’s degree plus minimum twelve years related DOE nuclear experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Additionally, due to the nuclear environment in which all TPM 4 scope is executed, candidates with experience in work control, hazard management, radiological or operational activities, and quality assurance are highly desirable.
• Experience resolving complex technical and regulatory issues such as Commercial Grade Dedication and Issues Management within an NQA‑1 program is also preferred
• Ability to obtain a DOE Q
