About the role

  • Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants
  • online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at

Responsibilities

  • Engineering Standards, Codes & Procedures Governance - Own and maintain engineering SOPs, policies, and the codes/standards register (ASME BPVC Section III, ASME NQA-1, ASME B31, IEEE, ANSI, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B); govern requirements management, technical baseline control, and design verification/validation (V&V) standards.
  • Technical Compliance Monitoring & Corrective Action - Define compliance metrics and report to leadership; lead root cause analysis (RCA) of non-conformances and operate a CAPA program, tracking actions to closure and verifying effectiveness.
  • Interface & Scope Integration Management - Own technical interface management between suppliers and the owner via interface control documents (ICDs) and registers, closing scope gaps/overlaps and resolving inter-supplier conflicts and cross-boundary performance guarantees.
  • Design Review & Technical Oversight - Provide assurance over PDRs, CDRs, and constructability/operability/maintainability reviews; confirm technical queries and non-conformances are dispositioned; independently challenge design decisions and deviations.
  • Quality & Nuclear Safety Assurance Interface - Align technical assurance with the QA program for safety-related and nuclear safety-related deliverables per 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and ASME NQA-1; support supplier audits and closure of findings.
  • Management of Change & Change Order Control - Lead technical evaluation of Change Orders (justification, scope/design-basis impact, schedule/quality consequences), applying rigorous scrutiny to protect the owner; confirm approved changes are reflected in the technical baseline.
  • Supplier Technical Oversight & Commercial Protection - Oversee supplier performance against contractual requirements and acceptance criteria; apply "intelligent customer" judgment to claims and deviations; support commercial teams on claims and dispute resolution.
  • Team Leadership - Lead, build, and mentor the technical integration function, delegating and prioritizing assurance activities across the portfolio by risk.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, nuclear, chemical, or related) from an ABET-accredited program.
  • Strong working knowledge of EPC execution and engineering assurance on complex capital projects.
  • Working knowledge of U.S. codes and standards (ASME, IEEE, ANSI) and nuclear QA requirements (10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1).
  • Experience with modular construction and design for modularization.
  • experience establishing or administering RCA and corrective action programs
  • experience in management of change and change order evaluation on live contracts
  • and 3+ years of team leadership or supervisory experience.
  • Experience
  • Minimum 12-15 years of progressive engineering experience on nuclear, power, oil & gas, or large, complex infrastructure projects, including: 5+ years in a technical authority, engineering management, design assurance, or technical integration role
  • demonstrated experience leading design reviews and multidisciplinary technical interfaces

Nice to have

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license, or a clear path to licensure, or equivalent.
  • Experience on nuclear (NRC-licensed), combined cycle, or first-of-a-kind energy projects
  • prior experience as an Owner's Engineer or Owner's Technical Director.
  • Familiarity with modular construction, shipyard/offsite fabrication, and DfMA
  • working knowledge of systems engineering and requirements management (e.g., INCOSE).
  • Relevant certifications such as PMP, CSEP, Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), or a recognized RCA qualification (e.g., TapRooT, Apollo)
  • familiarity with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B)
  • requirements, baseline, and configuration/change management.
