Assignment Type: 12 months with possible extension

Pay Rate: $85/hr on w2

The SLR team is currently managing a high volume of regulatory and technical deliverables. Although the team typically operates with broader staffing, it is presently comprised of only three members. Two additional engineers are being added to strengthen execution capacity.

This role requires direct nuclear power plant experience and system-level technical expertise. It is not a general engineering position — candidates must understand plant operations, materials of construction, licensing requirements, and regulatory compliance processes.

• Supporting SLR licensing deliverables and regulatory documentation
• Reviewing and validating vendor technical products (e.g., Westinghouse)
• Ensuring site-specific procedures and requirements are properly incorporated into work documents
• Performing compliance reviews and adequacy evaluations
• Supporting ASME code compliance and in-service testing program requirements
• Identifying technical information sources and coordinating with plant subject matter experts (SMEs)
• Supporting cross-functional handoffs between engineering, vendors, and station personnel
• Ensuring regulatory and programmatic requirements are properly implemented and documented

• Coordinating with external vendors such as Westinghouse to review technical analyses and documentation
• Performing technical and regulatory adequacy reviews
• Verifying vendor deliverables meet plant- and site-specific requirements
• Reviewing procedures and work packages for proper compliance incorporation
• Researching historical plant documents and licensing bases
• Engaging with plant SMEs to validate assumptions and source technical information
• Supporting document management and compliance tracking activities
• The role is highly collaborative and detail-oriented, requiring consistent cross-functional communication.

• 8–12 years of nuclear power industry experience
• Strong understanding of nuclear plant systems and operations (e.g., Fire Protection programs)
• Experience with:
• ASME in-service testing (IST)
• Code compliance and regulatory requirements
• Licensing processes and program management
• Proficiency with:
• SAP
• Document management and file-sharing systems
• UKG / Workday navigation
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or related field)
• SRO license or certification strongly preferred

• Strong attention to detail
• Analytical and problem-solving skills
• Willingness to ask questions and seek clarification
• Professional humility and openness to feedback
• Strong relationship-building skills
• Experience working in cross-functional teams
• Ability to manage smooth handoffs between multiple vendor partners ("good bedside manner")

• A well-rounded background in nuclear operations, program management, and design processes
• 8–12 years of relevant nuclear industry experience
• Hands-on experience with licensing, compliance, and system implementation
• Strong collaboration and communication skills within regulated environments.
