Senior Probabilistic Risk and Reliability Engineer

Job Description Summary

Risk and Reliability engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach mindset and process. All activities consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline executes a robust process of development risk analyses and communication of risk insights to support optimization of systems and component design for safety and reliability. This requires identification and quantification of inputs for all modes and all hazards probabilistic risk evaluations development and communication of insights for selection of alternate system designs and implementation of final plant designs into rigorous probabilistic risk models in support of licensing activities. This is a process that proceeds from concept to production to operation including customer support for engineering services in the currently operating fleet.

This role contributes to the overall strategy and manages complex issues that support GVH Engineering concerning the application of Risk and Reliability methodologies to existing nuclear plants and next-generation reactors such as VTR Natrium and BWRX-300. Demonstrates accountability for integrating and developing probabilistic risk assessment technologies application methodologies and supporting processes that meet business needs across the organization.

This role impacts the teams ability to achieve service quality and timeliness of objectives. The role is subject to operating policy objectives. There is moderate autonomy within the role. High levels of operational judgment are required to achieve outcomes required.
