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 team's 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.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Develops and maintains PRA models of nuclear plant design and operational capabilities by logic and sequential modeling of fault scenarios, executing PRA fundamental skills in Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, and Source Term assessments, and using PRA tools and methods to quantify and evaluate accident sequences.
• Interfaces with other disciplines to advance risk-informed designs, developing insights and conclusions from analyses with the ability to clearly communicate findings to peers, management and customers.
• Analyzes regulatory-driven requirements to develop risk-informed solutions that drive safety and reliability into nuclear plant design and provide internal and external customers with cost savings.
• Uses integrated nuclear plant knowledge to assist in developing digital applications such as data processing, condition monitoring, and data analytics to improve customer plant performance and reduce costs.
• Provides technical guidance and training to new and experienced engineers, specialists, and managers.
• Represents GEH to customers, nuclear regulators and at industry meetings.
• Authors and presents state-of-the-art PRA papers in technical publications and conferences.
• Provides leadership for assigned organizational responsibilities, programs, and personnel.
• Supports the PRA Technical Leader by articulating work plans the PRA team will use to address the technical work scope requested, including those in support of proposals for client work.
• Requires specialized knowledge within the function. Influences the development of strategy for the area of responsibility, including control of resources and influences policy formulation.
• Interprets simple internal and external business challenges and recommends best practices to improve products, processes or services. Stays informed of industry trends that may inform work.
• Uses high level of judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks or problems in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology or engineering. Has ability to assess quality of information given and ask pertinent questions to stakeholders. Able to offer new solutions to problems outside of set parameters and is able to construct and provide recommendations. Uses multiple internal and some external sources outside of own function to help arrive at a decision.
• May lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and / or complexity. Communicates difficult concepts and may influence others' options on particular topics. May guide others to consider a different point of view.
