Carbon-Free Energy for Global Industry
The Safety Manager, reporting to the Engineering Director, will lead and expand a world‑class safety analysis organization for the IMSR design. This role combines team leadership, safety analysis program oversight, regulatory licensing, strategic planning, and cross‑functional collaboration to ensure the reactor’s safety case meets all applicable standards.
The organization is building a multidisciplinary team in Charlotte, North Carolina, focused on engineering, R&D, product management and business development. Key hires will bring U.S. market experience, proven engineering results, leadership capabilities, and deep knowledge of advanced reactor development to shape the company’s structure and processes.
The position requires a strong academic background in nuclear, mechanical or chemical engineering, extensive nuclear safety analysis experience, and a proven record of managing technical teams and interacting with regulatory bodies such as the NRC, CNSC, or DOE.
Terrestrial Energy is a developer of Generation IV nuclear plants that use its proprietary Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) technology. IMSR technology captures the full transformative operating benefits of molten salt reactor technology in a plant design that represents true innovation in cost reduction, versatility and functionality of nuclear energy supply. IMSR plants will supply zero-carbon, reliable, dispatchable, low-cost high-temperature industrial heat and electricity for a dual-use energy role relevant to many industrial applications, such as chemical synthesis and desalination. In so doing, they extend the application of nuclear energy far beyond electric power markets. IMSR plants have the potential to make substantial contributions to industrial competitiveness, energy security, and economic growth. Their deployment will support rapid global decarbonization of the primary energy system across a broad spectrum. Terrestrial Energy uses an innovative design, and proven and demonstrated molten salt reactor technology, which offers a unique set of operating characteristics that deliver high and compelling commercial potential. Terrestrial Energy is engaged with regulators, suppliers and industrial partners to build, license and commission the first IMSR power plants in the early 2030s.
