Senior Nuclear Implementation Manager

Lead implementation readiness, field execution strategy, and technical oversight for high-impact mechanical and electrical projects at a commercial nuclear generating station. This role reviews the work before execution, finds schedule and quality risks early, and helps project teams deliver safely, on time, and within budget.

The strongest fit is a senior nuclear field leader with multiple refueling outages, deep work-management knowledge, logic-driven scheduling experience, and the credibility to challenge project plans, work orders, testing strategies, radiological controls, rigging plans, and vendor execution.

Location: Richland, WA

Schedule: 4 days x 10 hours; additional outage support may be required

Work Setting: Onsite

Contract Duration: Long-term contract opportunity with project-based assignment windows and potential extensions

Openings: 3

Citizenship: U.S. citizenship required

Pay Rate: $85-$118 per hour

Qualifications

• Commercial nuclear power-plant production and operations experience.
• Experience supporting multiple commercial nuclear refueling outages.
• Advanced degree in a related field or business plus 10 years of electrical experience in nuclear, steam-cycle, or another regulated industrial environment; or bachelor's degree plus 12 years; or associate degree plus 14 years; or high school diploma/GED plus 16 years.
• Working knowledge of nuclear maintenance and engineering procedures, applicable codes and regulatory requirements, and cost-effective work execution.
• Experience with Asset Suite, SAP, or comparable enterprise work-management software.
• Strong command of logic-driven schedules built in Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project.
• Advanced analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and computer skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior work at Columbia Generating Station or another boiling-water reactor site.
• Valve-team, mechanical implementation, welding, rigging, outage-control, or ASME Section XI experience.
• Experience challenging execution plans and improving outage critical-path performance.

Benefits

CRG contractors may have access to health plan options and other benefits, subject to eligibility and plan terms. Washington paid sick leave accrues at 1 hour for every 40 hours worked, equivalent to 6.5 8-hour days over a 2,080-hour work year; use and carryover are governed by applicable law and company policy.

Responsibilities

• Review project schedules, implementation means and methods, risk registers, budgets, estimates, and resource-loading plans for execution readiness.
• Evaluate work orders and supporting records, including weld documentation, ASME Section XI repair or replacement plans, field sketches, clearances, turnover plans, and quality-control hold points.
• Identify plan gaps, error traps, incorrect references, weak instructions, and constraints that could affect safety, quality, cost, or critical-path performance.
• Review testing and acceptance plans for factory, shop, site, mock-up, post-modification, and commissioning activities.
• Recommend effective mock-ups, crew placement, specialty tooling, rigging, material-handling, radiological, decontamination, and turnover strategies.
• Apply operating experience and human-performance tools to reduce execution risk and strengthen field readiness.
• Provide candid technical feedback to project managers, oversight leaders, department management, and vendor partners.
• Provide shop or field oversight and, when assigned, lead opposite-shift execution involving crews of 50+ personnel.
• Participate in design reviews, steering committees, integrated implementation briefings, high-risk work challenges, readiness reviews, schedule-development meetings, and risk meetings.
• Serve as ASME person in charge for Section XI repair and replacement scope when assigned and qualified.
