[Hiring] Nuclear Pre-Service / In-Service Inspection Program Owner @GE Vernova

Role Description

The Pre-Service / In-Service Inspection (PSI/ISI) Program Owner – BWRX-300 is responsible for establishing and governing the inspection and integrity requirements for BWRX-300 nuclear pressure equipment, piping, welded components, and related systems from design through construction and into operation across our U.S., Canadian, and European projects.

In the current BWRX-300 new-build phase, this role is heavily focused on the front-end definition of all component, weld, and system inspection requirements needed to fulfill the Designer’s obligations under nuclear and pressure-boundary codes, standards, and regulatory frameworks. The Program Owner ensures that these requirements are embedded in design deliverables, specifications, procurement packages, modular fabrication and construction plans, and that they form the basis of the plant’s pre-service and in-service inspection programs.

This role is a key interface with internal design teams, BWRX-300 technology providers, EPCs/suppliers, Authorized Nuclear Inspectors, Notified Bodies, and nuclear/pressure equipment regulators.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Materials/Welding Engineering, or related field required.
• At least 8 years of experience in nuclear engineering, nuclear pressure boundary design, integrity, or inspection programs within an EPC, OEM, BWRX-300 developer, or utility environment.
• At least 4 years of experience defining or managing pre-service and in-service inspection requirements for nuclear-class components (ASME Section III/XI, CSA N285, or equivalent).

Requirements

• Define the global PSI/ISI strategy, ensuring alignment with major nuclear standards (ASME Section III/XI, CSA N285, PED/EN).
• Translate complex regulatory obligations into actionable, auditable inspection requirements for all nuclear and non-safety pressure boundaries.
• Serve as the technical authority for compliance, supporting licensing submittals and engaging with Authorized Inspection Agencies and regulators.
• Partner with design and systems engineering teams to ensure "inspectability by design."
• Influence modular assembly, piping layout, and access strategies to ensure all welds and components remain accessible for both manufacturing and long-term inspection.
• Define the criteria for weld inspections, hold points, and acceptance standards throughout the modular lifecycle.
• Embed stringent quality and inspection requirements into RFQs, contracts, and supplier manufacturing plans.
• Review vendor documentation, including Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), material traceability, and Manufacturing Data Records (MDRs).
• Establish the framework for the transition from construction to operations, ensuring a robust handover of baseline data for future asset integrity and In-Service Inspection (ISI).
• Champion a culture of nuclear safety, configuration control, and data traceability across all project phases.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
• Access to Health Coach from GE Vernova, a 24/7 nurse-based resource.
• Access to the Employee Assistance Program, providing 24/7 confidential assessment, counseling and referral services.
• Retirement benefits including the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan, a tax-advantaged 401(k) savings opportunity with company matching contributions.
• Tuition assistance and adoption assistance.
• Paid parental leave and disability benefits.
• Life insurance and 12 paid holidays.
• Permissive time off.
