ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Site Supervisor to join our team supporting the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory! This position is full-time and will be based out of Livermore, California.
The Site Supervisor is a hands-on field leader responsible for planning, coordinating, and supervising all field activities associated with characterization, remediation, and decontamination & decommissioning (D&D) of radiologically- and beryllium-impacted facilities at an active DOE site. This role ensures safe, compliant, and cost-effective execution of work by leading field crews, implementing industrial hygiene and radiological controls, maintaining schedule and earned value reporting, and communicating with engineering, environmental, safety, and client stakeholders.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead and supervise multi-disciplinary field crews (craft, technicians, industrial hygienists, radiological control technicians) during characterization, remediation, and D&D activities in facilities with potential beryllium and radiological contamination.
- Provide daily direction, task assignments, and performance feedback.
- Develop, implement, and enforce site-specific work plans, safe work permits, Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and work control packages in coordination with safety and radiological personnel.
- Oversee and participate in all phases of sampling and characterization (surface sampling, swipe samples, air sampling, smear surveys, radiological surveys) for facilities up to Category 3 nuclear complexity; ensure samples are collected, labeled, and documented to chain-of-custody standards.
- Direct abatement activities under beryllium and asbestos programs: ensure proper containment, negative-pressure ventilation setups, decontamination lines, waste segregation, and packaged waste manifesting in accordance with site procedures.
- Coordinate pre-task briefings and daily tailboards; enforce PPE, respiratory protection, and decontamination requirements. Monitor worker exposures and work area controls in real time and act on deviations immediately.
- Serve as the field point of contact for safety/radiological incidents and near-miss investigations; support corrective action implementation and lessons-learned dissemination.
- Maintain accurate field documentation: daily logs, sampling records, survey maps, waste tracking, equipment logs, and photographic records for project and regulatory needs.
- Support project controls and program management by providing timely inputs to schedule, cost, and earned value management (EVM) systems; report progress, variances, and resource needs to project management.
- Communicate effectively across organizational levels — from craft personnel to site operations, regulatory representatives, prime contractor management, and DOE/client points of contact — ensuring transparency and alignment.
- Mentor and develop junior supervisors and crew leads; promote a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
