Senior Industrial Safety Consultant – Nuclear

Greenville, South Carolina | Houston, Texas (Hybrid / Remote options may be considered)

Vysus Group is a leading engineering and technical consultancy providing specialist industrial safety, asset performance, risk management, and project management expertise across complex industrial assets and the energy sector, including nuclear, oil & gas, renewables, and the energy transition.

The global nuclear sector is experiencing a renewed phase of growth, with new large-scale reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), advanced reactor concepts, and life-extension of existing facilities all progressing in parallel. This “nuclear renaissance” is increasing demand for experienced, independent industrial safety and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) professionals who can support clients operating in highly regulated, safety‑critical environments.

To meet this demand, Vysus Group is expanding its U.S. nuclear and high‑hazard capability, with a focus on strengthening our presence in Greenville, South Carolina and Houston, Texas, supporting domestic and international clients through independent, safety‑critical HSE and safety‑assurance services.

The Senior Industrial Safety Consultant provides independent HSE and industrial safety advisory, assessment, and assurance services to nuclear and other high‑hazard projects. The role focuses on helping clients establish, evaluate, and improve safety management systems, comply with regulatory requirements, and foster strong safety and nuclear safety culture.

This position is consultative and assurance‑focused, supporting owners, operators, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPCs), and government clients rather than performing direct construction supervision.
