Position Description
Background Information
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking scientists and engineers for positions at its headquarters location in Rockville, MD and regional sites in: King of Prussia, PA; Atlanta, GA; Lisle, IL; and, Arlington, TX.
The NRC safeguards and protects America’s public health, safety and the environment by overseeing and regulating the civilian use of nuclear materials and facilities. The NRC is ranked as one of the BEST Places to Work in the Federal Government and has earned its top rating by creating a work environment rich in opportunity, diversity, leadership training, teamwork, and work life balance.
Description of Opportunity
Science and engineering opportunities at the NRC include various physical and environmental science and engineering occupations, including nuclear, mechanical, structural, fire protection, electrical, and geotechnical; and, include positions related to: inspections (resident, fuel facility, construction) project management, digital instrumentation and controls, probabilistic risk assessment, materials and corrosion, health physics, geology, hydrology, geophysics, seismology, geophysics, and various other related opportunities
NRC environmental scientists and engineers have responsibilities that include protecting the public health and safety and the environment by developing regulations and guidance for applicants and licensees to use nuclear materials, operate nuclear facilities or to conduct decommissioning that permits license termination. Work of NRC environmental scientists includes: geological, seismological, volcanological and geotechnical assessments of siting reviews for new reactors; hydrologic and geologic assessments of nuclear power plants; standards-setting and rule making; technical reviews and studies; investigation and enforcement; evaluation of operating experience; preparation of safety and evaluation reports including environmental impact statements/assessments and confirmatory research.NRC engineers also oversee and inspect licensee operations and facilities to ensure compliance with safety and security requirements; evaluate operational experience at licensed facilities or involving licensed activities; conduct research; and hold hearings to address the concerns of persons affected by agency decisions.
Required Experience and Education
Science and engineering positions being filled at the NRC range from entry to experienced level. At the entry and experienced levels you must have a Bachelor’s degree or higher which shows a good knowledge of the theory, principles, and practices in an engineering or science field of study related to the position for which you are applying. At the experienced level you must also have a minimum of three years experience that specifically relates to the science or engineering background required, as delineated in the NRC job announcement, which will also delineate any substitution of allowable engineering experience for educational requirements. Specialized experience is defined as work experience applying to any number of various professional engineering and scientific disciplines related to the position to be filled.
