About the Naval Nuclear Laboratory
Working at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) means fostering pride in an organization built on the core values of Trust, Empowerment, and Collaboration. For nearly 70 years, we have been a national asset solely dedicated to the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. We develop advanced nuclear propulsion technology, provide technical support, and train world-class nuclear operators to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the U.S. Navy's submarine and aircraft carrier Fleets.
NNL personnel are employees of Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC (FMP), operating across four DOE facilities and numerous shipyards and vendor locations. We rely on the dedication and innovation of nearly 8,000 engineers, scientists, technicians, and support personnel to maintain the safety and reliability of our nation's naval nuclear reactors.
About the Role
Are you seeking a position with autonomy, significant responsibility, and a career-broadening, hands-on experience with naval nuclear reactors? As a Reactor Plant Component Oversight (RPCO) engineer, you will serve as the on-site representative of NNL and component supply organizations in shipyards located in Hampton Roads, Portsmouth, Groton, Honolulu, Bremerton, and beyond.
In this role, you will provide engineering support and independent oversight of work associated with the installation, reactor servicing, testing, and modification of reactor plant systems, components, and safety systems. You will be engaged during nuclear work and operations, applying sound engineering principles and judgment to influence and provide feedback to on-site management and partner organizations. RPCO engineers routinely work on the deckplates of nuclear-powered assets, where you will be relied upon to make key observations and decisions regarding the safe operations of these assets.
Career Path and Training
This position offers a unique trajectory designed to build deep expertise. The selected candidate will begin with an approximate 1-2 year assignment at the Knolls (NY) or Bettis (PA) Laboratory. This laboratory assignment provides experience within NNL's fleet support engineering community, including problem resolution and improvement initiatives for aircraft carrier and submarine platforms throughout their lifecycle.
Following the laboratory phase, you will transfer into NNL's Field Engineering Program for a 3-5 year assignment in a Shipyard. Successful completion of a job-specific qualification is required, with training expected to take approximately one year depending on previous experience. Upon completion, you will demonstrate an adequate understanding of requirements and the ability to function effectively in a field location in a technical support and oversight capacity.
