This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week.
As a key Associate in the Nuclear Power Group (NPG), you will have the opportunity to aid, participate and coordinate engineers and other professionals involved in support of License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) license extension, and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet.
S&L is seeking an experienced License Renewal (LR) / Subsequent License Renewal (SLR) professional to support license extension and post-approval implementation activities across the U.S. nuclear power fleet. This role focuses on turning LR/SLR commitments and aging management program (AMP) requirements into practical, field-executable inspection and implementation plans. It can also include performing visual inspections (e.g., VT-1/VT-2 or similar).
The ideal candidate brings experience with LR/SLR application and implementation and an optional combination of nuclear engineering programs, field trade experience (e.g., operations or maintenance), work management/scheduling, NRC submittals and/or inspections, and can bridge between technical aging management requirements, work management systems, and field execution.
Key Responsibilities
License renewal & aging management implementation
- Support LR/SLR implementation activities such as procedure changes, preventive maintenance (PM) basis and frequency development, work order (WO) development and review, and nuclear program basis document updates.
- Roadmap required inspections and aging management activities to comply with NRC regulations, LR/SLR commitments, and applicable AMPs.
- Define and help maintain sample populations and inspection scopes (e.g., one-time inspections, selective leaching, tank inspections) and ensure results are traceable to LR/SLR commitments and program requirements.
Work Management & Coordination Responsibilities
- Use work management and planning systems (e.g., WOs, PMs, work items) to identify and capture LR/SLR opportunities in both online and outage scopes.
- Screen and analyze large WO and PM lists (often thousands of line items) to identify high-value inspection opportunities based on system, component, material, and environment.
- Coordinate with schedulers, planners, and field organizations to embed aging management needs into realistic work sequences and outage plans.
Engineering basis, documentation & configuration control
- Develop and maintain engineering program basis documentation, including AMP basis, PM basis, and supporting technical justifications.
- Perform data validation, engineering change tracking, and configuration control for LR/SLR-related documents and commitments.
- Support NRC commitment tracking and closure, including preparing or reviewing technical responses, inspection packages, and closure documentation.
Stakeholder engagement & SME coordination
- Interact with clients and NRC in a technical expert role, clearly explaining aging management strategies, inspection plans, and results.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and structural SMEs, program owners, and field leads to refine scopes, aging mechanisms, and documentation expectations.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement, technology-forward thinking, and cross-functional collaboration across engineering, planning, and implementation teams.
Regulatory awareness & operating experience
- Maintain awareness of changes in LR/SLR and aging management regulations, guidance, and industry operating experience.
- Incorporate relevant NUREGs, NEI guidance, and industry OE into program basis documents, implementation strategies, and inspection plans.
