Lead License Renewal Implementation Professional – Nuclear

Responsibilities

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

License renewal & aging management implementation

• 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.

Work Management & Coordination Responsibilities

• 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.

Engineering basis, documentation & configuration control

• 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.

Stakeholder engagement & SME coordination

• 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.

Regulatory awareness & operating experience

• 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.
