About the role
Position Summary We are seeking a senior leader with deep experience in large-scale capital project delivery to lead our Nuclear New Build Program. This individual will serve as the program's senior responsible owner, directing the evaluation of existing digital design, engineering, and procurement assets from an international nuclear construction program to assess their viability for U.S. deployment. Reporting to the CEO, the successful candidate will build and lead a multidisciplinary team, manage relationships with EPC partners and prospective utility customers, and drive the program from early-stage feasibility assessment through utility partnership development, long-lead item procurement, and eventual construction. Prior nuclear experience is valued but not required — we are equally interested in leaders from adjacent heavy industrial sectors (LNG, petrochemical, semiconductor fabrication, aerospace, or large infrastructure) who bring disciplined program execution, engineering rigor, and the drive to learn a new domain. Key
Responsibilities Lead the overall nuclear new build program, setting strategic direction from feasibility assessment through utility partnerships, long-lead item procurement, and construction readiness. Direct the assessment of digital design and engineering assets for completeness, fidelity, and applicability to a U.S. regulatory and construction context. Oversee regulatory and code compliance gap analyses, working with subject matter experts to evaluate alignment with applicable U.S. codes, standards, and licensing
requirements. Lead procurement and supply chain evaluations, assessing the availability, capability, and readiness of the modern domestic and global supply chain against reference plant specifications. Recruit, hire, and develop a high-performing program team, scaling the organization as the program advances through successive phases. Manage the integrated work plan and day-to-day relationship with the EPC partner, ensuring alignment on scope, schedule, deliverables, and quality. Required
