The job description

Tech stack. 10 CFR 50.90 license amendments, NRC correspondence, regulatory commitments tracking, technical specifications, inspection support, enforcement response, licensing basis documents

About the role

You will manage the plant's relationship with the regulator for a nuclear power utility, preparing the submittals that request permission and responding to the questions that follow. The team owns license amendments, inspection responses, and regulatory commitments across the site. You will write with precision, track every commitment, and ensure the plant's licensing basis stays accurate. This role matters because the operating license is the plant's permission to exist, and your work maintains the regulatory trust that keeps it valid. You will also manage the plant's response to NRC bulletins and generic letters, evaluating applicability with technical depth. Your regulatory issue summaries will give plant leadership clear, actionable understanding of complex requirements. You will maintain the docket of correspondence with the discipline of an archivist, because every commitment must be traceable. Your inspection preparation will be thorough enough that the plant welcomes scrutiny rather than fearing it. Your commitment tracking database will be the single source of truth for every regulatory promise.

What you will achieve

Prepare license amendment requests the NRC accepts with minimal requests for additional information.
Respond to NRC inspections with technically complete, timely responses that close findings efficiently.
Track all regulatory commitments with 100 percent on-time completion and auditable records.
Support enforcement responses with root cause analyses and corrective actions regulators find credible.
Maintain licensing basis documents accurate and current through disciplined change control.

What you will bring

Must-haves

Exceptional technical writing: regulatory documents demand precision no other writing requires.
Understanding of plant technical specifications and their bases.
Ability to manage multiple concurrent regulatory actions with competing deadlines.

Relationship skills for productive, professional interactions with regulators.

Familiarity with risk-informed licensing applications.
Knowledge of state regulatory interfaces and public utility commissions.
