About the role
About Valar Atomics At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
The Role The Instrument Technician supports nuclear generation operations by installing, calibrating, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing plant instrumentation and control systems that are critical to safe, reliable power production. You'll ensure accurate measurement and control of key process variables, including level, pressure, temperature, flow, control valves, and radiation monitoring systems. Working closely with operations, engineering, and maintenance teams, the Instrument Technician plays a vital role in maintaining plant readiness while meeting all nuclear safety, quality, and performance standards. Experience in oil and gas or other heavy industrial environments is considered transferable, provided the candidate can successfully complete nuclear-specific training, qualification, and security
requirements. Key
Responsibilities Install, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot analog and digital instrumentation and control systems. Perform loop checks, functional testing, and valve stroke testing. Diagnose equipment issues using plant drawings, P&IDs, procedures, one-line diagrams, and technical manuals. Support radiation detection and monitoring systems, ensuring proper operation and compliance. Accurately document maintenance, calibration, and testing activities in accordance with station procedures and regulatory
