We'd Love To Hear From People With:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physical Sciences, or equivalent technical experience

10+ years of combined nuclear industry and manufacturing experience

6+ years of leadership or management experience

Ability to work effectively within a highly regulated DOE and NRC environment

Ability to work effectively in a high volume manufacturing environment

Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills

Ability to travel periodically to other Centrus locations, contractor sites, and occasional international destinations

A Successful Candidate Brings:

Experience providing independent quality oversight for complex industrial, manufacturing, construction, or nuclear operations

Knowledge of quality assurance programs, audits, assessments, and continuous improvement methodologies

Experience interacting with independent auditors and senior stakeholders

Ability to influence cross-functional teams and foster a culture of safety, quality, and accountability

An active or previously held Q-level security clearance

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.

This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test.
