Job Summary

The Senior Manager of Programs is responsible for ensuring nuclear licensing basis programs remain current, compliant, and implementation‑ready throughout execution of the multi‑billion‑dollar Extended Power Uprate (EPU) project. This role owns the uprate’s cross‑cutting program alignment, managing changes to Fire Protection, Environmental Qualification (EQ), design integration, procedures, and training driven by the uprate scope. The Sr. Manager directs a team that includes SROs, procedure writers, engineers, etc.

supporting design integration and operability review, and serves as the primary interface between project execution and station programs, ensuring all program updates are completed, verified, and ready to support uprate.

Key Accountabilities
  • Own program alignment across Fire Protection, EQ, design integration, procedures, and training to ensure all programs reflect EPU modifications and are ready for implementation.
  • Directly manage two SROs supporting design integration and operability review, embedding licensed operator perspective into design decisions and procedure development.
  • Coordinate FPP and EQ updates with EPCs, Owner’s Engineer, and licensing to capture, document, and approve uprate‑driven licensing basis changes prior to implementation.
  • Drive revision of operating, emergency, and abnormal procedures for EPU power levels and setpoints; coordinate with training to incorporate changes into licensed and non‑licensed operator programs.
  • Serve as the cross‑project integration point for program commitments.
  • Identify program‑related risks and schedule conflicts; elevate issues between project execution and program requirements to protect outage readiness and NRC compliance.
Education, Experience & Skill Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field.
  • 10+ years of nuclear industry experience, with 5+ years in a leadership role overseeing nuclear programs or engineering.
  • Deep knowledge of nuclear licensing basis programs:
    Fire Protection (FPP), Environmental Qualification (EQ), procedures, and training.
  • Previous SRO or RO experience required.
  • Strong knowledge of NRC regulations, NQA‑1 standards, and INPO/WANO program requirements.
  • Experience managing large teams.
Key Metrics
  • 100% program readiness prior to uprate (Fire Protection, EQ, procedures, and training complete and verified).
  • Zero NRC violations or corrective action program items attributable to program gaps or procedure inadequacy.

    On‑schedule delivery of procedure revisions and training curriculum updates aligned to project milestones.
  • Strong integration between project engineering, site operations, and licensing—no unresolved operability or program conflicts at outage execution.
Location

Perry, Ohio.
