Engineering Integration Manager

Engineering Integration Manager

The Engineering Integration Manager will lead and oversee the onsite engineering support team for the Natrium Demonstration Project, Terra Power's groundbreaking advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor plant under construction near Kemmerer, Wyoming. This role is critical in ensuring that engineering has the support needed to perform activities related to compliance with the design and licensing basis, nuclear safety standards, and project requirements.

This position is based onsite at the Natrium Demonstration Project in Kemmerer, Wyoming, and reports to the Director of Site Engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Lead coordination and oversight of a multidisciplinary support team, including project managers, admins, and data tracking personnel. The team comprises Terra Power employees and subcontracted resources.
• Develop and recommend staffing plans based on project management input, current team skillset analysis, construction schedule demands, and long-range forecasts. Proactively identify staffing needs, including replacements for attrition, adjustments for evolving requirements, new scope additions, and de-staffing as the project progresses through phases.
• Responsible for all non-engineering tasks for the Site Design Engineering organization such as metrics, status reporting, coordination of staff traveling to site to support engineering functions, training, coordinating procedural revisions, etc.
• Drive continuous improvement for the SDE organization by tracking dispositioning times for design changes, helping drive down nonconformance generation, prioritize tasks so SDE is properly working on tasks in the right priority.
• Foster employee development by employees, identifying and facilitating relevant training opportunities, and assigning challenging, growth-oriented tasks within the Natrium program scope.
• Support recruitment, onboarding, and indoctrination processes for new employees joining the onsite team, ensuring alignment with project standards, nuclear quality programs, and site-specific safety and security protocols.
• Interface with key stakeholders, including construction management, field engineering teams, licensing and regulatory affairs, quality assurance, the utility owner/operator, procurement, suppliers, and external regulators (e.g., NRC), and the home office.
• Manage priority conflicts and resource allocation when competing demands emerge across engineering tasks. Partner with team leads to resolve issues at the working level; escalate unresolved or high-impact conflicts to senior leadership for timely decisions.

Key

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Nuclear, or related discipline) from an accredited institution.
• Minimum 10–15 years of progressive related experience, with at least 5–7 years in a leadership or supervisory role managing multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience in nuclear facility design, construction support, or field engineering, preferably on large-scale nuclear new-build, demonstration, or advanced reactor projects. Familiarity with sodium-cooled fast reactor technology, advanced nuclear systems, or DOE-funded demonstration projects is highly desirable.
• Proven track record of interfacing with construction, procurement, quality, licensing, and regulatory entities to resolve complex onsite technical issues while maintaining schedule and safety priorities.
• Strong understanding of nuclear design and licensing basis requirements, configuration management, and quality assurance programs in regulated nuclear environments (e.g., 10 CFR 50, 10 CFR 52, NRC guidance).
• Demonstrated ability to develop staffing plans, forecast resource needs, and manage team performance in dynamic, schedule-driven project settings.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills, with experience mentoring engineers and building high-performing teams in high-stakes environments.
• Ability to obtain and maintain site access and any required security clearances for work at a nuclear construction site.
• Familiarization with codes used in nuclear construction. For instance, NQA-1, ASME Section III, VIII,…
