Role Overview

Our Nuclear Services team lives at the intersection of advanced engineering, real world problem solving, and some of the most complex environments in industry. We don’t just design tooling and hand it off—we follow it through its entire lifecycle, from early development to on site execution inside operating nuclear facilities, and then back again to make it better the next time around.

 
What makes this team unique is the depth of ownership we have over our work. Team members are involved in designing, commissioning, deploying, troubleshooting, and improving specialized nuclear tooling used for inspection, maintenance, and refurbishment. That means the lessons you learn on site don’t get lost, they directly shape the next generation of tools and processes.

 
This is a team for people who enjoy hands on technical challenges, thrive in dynamic environments, and want to see the tangible impact of their work. Our work is highly collaborative. Nuclear Services acts as the bridge between engineering, operations, and our nuclear customers, providing trusted expertise when it matters most. Because nuclear projects are often outage based and time critical, our team plays a key role in ensuring tooling is reliable, well maintained, and ready to perform when the window is tight.
