Senior Probabilistic Risk and Reliability Engineer

Overview

Develop and maintain nuclear PRA models, perform risk analyses, and support licensing activities.

Key Responsibilities

• pra modeling
• risk analysis
• technical guidance
• client representation
• digital applications
• team leadership

Tasks

-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. -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. -Authors and presents state-of-the-art PRA papers in technical publications and conferences. -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. -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. -Provides technical guidance and training to new and experienced engineers, specialists, and managers. -Represents GEH to customers, nuclear regulators and at industry meetings. -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. -Provides leadership for assigned organizational responsibilities, programs, and personnel. -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. -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.
