Nuclear Safety / Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) Engineer Opportunity - Oak Ridge, TN

I'm looking for an experienced Nuclear Safety / ISA Engineer to play a key role in establishing and maintaining the safety basis for a new complex nuclear facility.

The position offers significant technical ownership, collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and involvement in a large-scale project through design, licensing, and eventual operational readiness.

Key Responsibilities

\n
• Develop, maintain, and review facility safety documentation, including Integrated Safety Analyses (ISA), Documented Safety Analyses (DSA), and supporting technical assessments.
\n
• Conduct hazard identification, accident analyses, and risk evaluations using methodologies such as HAZOP, FMEA, and What-If analysis.
\n
• Identify and evaluate safety-significant systems, controls, and Items Relied On For Safety (IROFS).
\n
• Assess engineering designs, modifications, and operating procedures for their impact on nuclear safety and regulatory compliance.
\n
• Collaborate with process, mechanical, electrical, controls, and fire protection engineering teams to integrate safety requirements into facility design.
\n
• Support licensing activities, regulatory reviews, technical evaluations, and operational readiness assessments.
\n
• Provide technical guidance on nuclear criticality safety, process hazards, accident prevention, and safety-basis development.
\n

Qualifications

\n
• Bachelor's degree in Nuclear, Mechanical, Chemical, Safety Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
\n
• 4+ years of experience in nuclear safety engineering, safety analysis, or safety-basis development.
\n
• Experience developing or maintaining ISA, DSA, or equivalent nuclear safety documentation.
\n
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as 10 CFR 70, 10 CFR 830, or equivalent nuclear safety requirements.
\n
• Strong background in hazard analysis, accident scenario evaluation, and engineered safety controls.
\n
• Experience working in DOE nuclear facilities, commercial nuclear power, fuel-cycle operations, or similarly regulated environments.
\n
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a DOE security clearance.
\n

Preferred Experience

\n
• Experience with nuclear fuel-cycle facilities or other complex nuclear process operations.
\n
• Familiarity with NRC licensing, regulatory inspections, or facility commissioning.
\n
• Knowledge of nuclear criticality safety, chemical process safety, and fire protection requirements.
