Manager, Inspection & Monitoring

Accountabilities: Lead the strategic growth, technical development, and project execution of the Inspection & Monitoring organization across domestic nuclear fleets, license renewal programs, extended power uprates, and advanced reactor markets. Represent the organization in engagements with utilities, reactor developers, strategic partners, industry stakeholders, and technical organizations, including BWRVIP, MRP, WRTC, ASME committees, and relevant owners groups. Monitor developments in industry codes, regulations, operating experience, degradation mechanisms, and inspection technologies, translating emerging requirements into client solutions and internal capability development plans. Develop and execute market strategies, strengthen client relationships, identify new business opportunities, and lead technical scope definition, proposal development, and commercial discussions. Position the organization for current and future nuclear industry needs, including risk-informed inservice inspection (RI-ISI), inspection optimization, and Reliability and Integrity Management (RIM) strategies. Recruit, manage, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary team, overseeing onboarding, performance management, succession planning, knowledge transfer, and professional development. Coordinate staffing, resource allocation, project assignments, workload, utilization, and capacity planning across scheduled projects, outages, urgent technical requests, and business development activities. Establish training, qualification, and certification plans to ensure inspection activities are performed by appropriately experienced and qualified personnel. Foster a collaborative culture focused on safety, quality, accountability, technical excellence, continuous learning, and the development of future leaders. Collaborate with Analytical Services, ASME Code & Compliance, Materials, and repair and replacement teams to integrate inspection findings with engineering evaluations and technical dispositions. Lead multidisciplinary teams addressing complex and time-sensitive technical challenges, coordinating assessments, client communications, resource planning, field execution, and engineering resolution while maintaining quality, schedule, and budget requirements. Support advanced reactor developers in establishing inspection, monitoring, inspectability, and lifecycle structural integrity strategies. Oversee technical activities involving pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) vessels and internals, ASME Section XI and Section V requirements, and relevant materials and design-code interfaces. Guide the development and implementation of inservice inspection programs, aging-management initiatives, alternative examination methods, and advanced nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques. Oversee inspection activities supporting repairs, replacements, weld overlays, and post-repair acceptance, including advanced ultrasonic examinations, flaw sizing, geometry mapping, surface profiling, and wall-thickness measurements. Ensure inspection and monitoring strategies address relevant degradation and failure mechanisms, including corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, fatigue, embrittlement, thermal aging, wear, vibration, and wall thinning. Track organizational performance, project execution, utilization, and profitability while reporting progress and identifying opportunities for sustainable growth and differentiated technical offerings. Requirements Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline. An advanced degree is preferred. At least 10 years of relevant experience in the nuclear industry, including progressive leadership responsibilities and successful delivery of inspection or structural integrity projects in regulated environments. Strong working knowledge of ASME Section XI and ASME Section V requirements, with the ability to operate effectively within nuclear quality assurance frameworks and records-control requirements. Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary engineering and inspection teams and integrating inspection findings with Materials, Analytical Services, ASME Code, and repair and replacement activities. Proven project management capabilities, including resource allocation, subcontractor coordination, technical oversight, budget management, and delivery against project schedules. Strong understanding of nuclear inspection and monitoring programs, nondestructive examination methodologies, structural integrity assessments, and applicable degradation mechanisms. Experience with PWR and BWR reactor vessels and internals, piping, containment or civil structures, repair and replacement activities, or component inspection programs is highly valuable. Excellent client-facing and business development skills, including proposal preparation, scope development, negotiation, presentations, and relationship management. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues and communicate risks effectively to both engineering specialists and executive stakeholders. Demonstrated leadership, coaching, and team development capabilities, supported by sound technical judgment, accountability, and commercial awareness. Ability to collaborate across technical disciplines, manage competing priorities, and lead teams through complex or time-sensitive assignments. Willingness and ability to travel approximately 20% to client and field locations and support outage-related or urgent project activities as business needs require. Additional assets: Professional Engineer (PE) licensure. Relevant nondestructive examination (NDE) certifications or other recognized technical qualifications in inspection, monitoring, or structural integrity. Advanced technical degree in engineering, materials science, or a related discipline. Participation in EPRI programs, industry owners groups, ASME committees, technical working groups, or regulatory engagements. Direct field experience involving reactor vessels and internals, piping systems, containment structures, civil structures, or nuclear component inspection programs.
