Senior License Renewal Implementation Professional – Nuclear

License Renewal / Subsequent License Renewal Professional

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

As a key Associate in the Nuclear Power Group (NPG), you will have the opportunity to aid, participate and coordinate engineers and other professionals involved in support of License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) license extension, and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet.

S&L is seeking an experienced License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) professional to support license extension and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet. This role focuses on turning LR/SLR commitments and aging management program (AMP) requirements into practical, field-executable inspection and implementation plans. It can also include performing visual inspections (e.g., VT-1/VT-2 or similar).

The ideal candidate brings experience with LR/SLR application and implementation and an optional combination of nuclear engineering programs, field trade experience (e.g., operations or maintenance), work management/scheduling, NRC submittals and/or inspections, and can bridge between technical aging management requirements, work management systems, and field execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Support LR/SLR implementation activities such as procedure changes, preventive maintenance (PM) basis and frequency development, work order (WO) development and review, and nuclear program basis document updates.
• Roadmap required inspections and aging management activities to comply with NRC regulations, LR/SLR commitments, and applicable AMPs.
• Define and help maintain sample populations and inspection scopes (e.g., one-time inspections, selective leaching, tank inspections) and ensure results are traceable to LR/SLR commitments and program requirements.
• Use work management and planning systems (e.g., WOs, PMs, work items) to identify and capture LR/SLR opportunities in both online and outage scopes.
• Screen and analyze large WO and PM lists (often thousands of line items) to identify high-value inspection opportunities based on system, component, material, and environment.
• Coordinate with schedulers, planners, and field organizations to embed aging management needs into realistic work sequences and outage plans.
• Develop and maintain engineering program basis documentation, including AMP basis, PM basis, and supporting technical justifications.
• Perform data validation, engineering change tracking, and configuration control for LR/SLR-related documents and commitments.
• Support NRC commitment tracking and closure, including preparing or reviewing technical responses, inspection packages, and closure documentation.
• Interact with clients and NRC in a technical expert role, clearly explaining aging management strategies, inspection plans, and results.
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and structural SMEs, program owners, and field leads to refine scopes, aging mechanisms, and documentation expectations.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, technology-forward thinking, and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, planning, and implementation teams.
• Maintain awareness of changes in LR/SLR and aging management regulations, guidance, and industry operating experience.
• Incorporate relevant NUREGs, NEI guidance, and industry OE into program basis documents, implementation strategies, and inspection plans.

Qualifications

• An associate's degree or equivalent experience.
• 5 or more years of experience in the design and analysis of nuclear, industrial, or DOE facilities.
• Proven experience managing and/or participating in multi-disciplinary teams.
• Experience in managing medium-to-large critical projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience in providing guidance, mentoring, and training to staff engineers
• Licensed Operator for a Utility
• Experience delivering accurate, high-quality technical documentation in a highly regulated environment (nuclear, DOE, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with engineering documentation systems, nuclear…
