Description

We are seeking a Reliability Integrity Management (RIM) Engineer with a strong focus on inspection and monitoring for advanced and operating nuclear reactor systems. This role will apply technical expertise in non-destructive examination (NDE), monitoring technologies, and degradation mechanism evaluation to support risk-informed decision-making under ASME Section XI Division 2 RIM programs. The RIM Engineer will contribute to ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of nuclear systems by developing and implementing inspection and monitoring strategies that address complex degradation challenges across the component lifecycle. This position can be fully remote or based out of a Structural Integrity office. Primary Responsibilities: Develop and implement inspection and monitoring programs for reactor components, including in-service inspections (ISI) and advanced monitoring systems. Support degradation mechanism assessments, particularly for high-temperature and harsh service environments. Apply and interpret results from NDE methods (UT, RT, ET, PT, MT) and monitoring technologies for structural integrity management. Contribute to probabilistic reliability assessments to optimize inspection intervals, maintenance strategies, and risk-informed targets. Oversee or support qualification and deployment of NDE technologies in field and laboratory settings. Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver risk-informed integrity management solutions. Interface with clients, regulators, and industry groups to align with technical requirements and evolving industry practices. What Success Looks Like: Timely delivery of accurate and defensible inspection and monitoring results. Risk-informed recommendations that improve plant safety, availability, and compliance. Implementation of innovative inspection and monitoring solutions for challenging reactor environments. Positive client feedback and continued engagement based on demonstrated technical expertise.
