The Senior Consultant Energy role involves providing technical leadership and consulting support in probabilistic risk assessment and risk-informed decision-making for nuclear projects in the United States and internationally.ResponsibilitiesServes both legacy and new-build nuclear clients who are designing, building, upgrading, operating, and maintaining nuclear power generation and fuel cycle assetsSupports commercial nuclear projects as business and project needs developProvides senior technical leadership and consulting support in probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), risk-informed decision-making, and the integration of risk insights into licensing, design, operations, maintenance, and project executionSupports operating plants, new-build projects, advanced reactor development, and other nuclear facility projects in the United States and internationallyProvides senior technical leadership and consulting support for PRA and risk-informed licensing activities supporting US and international commercial nuclear projectsSupports the planning, development, review, and application of Level 1, Level 2, and/or Level 3 PRA, as applicable to project scope and maturityReviews PRA methodologies, models, assumptions, results, and supporting documentation for technical quality, regulatory alignment, consistency, and fitness for purposeSupports hazard identification, screening, evaluation, and risk quantification for internal events, shutdown conditions, internal flood, seismic events, high-wind events, and other external hazardsEvaluates plant response, system interactions, accident progression, system reliability, and risk-significant contributors, including reliability assessments of plant process, safety, balance-of-plant, and operating systems, to support informed safety, licensing, design, operational, and maintenance decisionsIntegrates PRA insights into licensing strategies, safety cases, SSC classification, technical specifications, maintenance strategies, operating programs, and design decisionsSupports risk-informed and performance-based licensing approaches, including NEI 18-04 and RG 1.233 implementation, licensing basis event selection, SSC classification, defense-in-depth evaluation, and related license application contentSupports the development and application of risk monitors, operational risk assessments, and other PRA applications, as applicable to project needsDevelops, proposes, reviews, or advises on PRA methodologies, technical approaches, analysis assumptions, and model-development strategiesCoordinates PRA interfaces with deterministic safety analysis, severe accident analysis, source term development, emergency planning, fire protection assessments, and other nuclear safety analysis disciplinesSupports regulatory interactions, technical meetings, audits, workshops, and responses related to PRA and risk-informed licensing topicsSupports the preparation and review of proposals, scopes of work, schedules, estimates, and execution plans for PRA and risk-informed licensing activitiesProvides mentoring, knowledge transfer, and technical development support to engineers and analysts and supports the growth
