Job Description

Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is one of the Department of Energy’s premier national laboratories, delivering solutions critical to national security, nuclear materials management, and environmental stewardship.

We are seeking an experienced nuclear safety professional to serve as Nuclear Safety Manager supporting the Laboratory’s nuclear safety programs. This role works under the direction of the Senior Nuclear Safety Manager and in close coordination with the Chief Engineer to ensure SRNL’s nuclear facilities operate safely, maintain technically defensible safety bases, and remain in full compliance with DOE requirements.

This is not a back-office compliance role. You will be embedded in the mission — supporting safety basis development for new and existing nuclear facilities, driving criticality safety and readiness activities, and helping strengthen the safety posture of programs that are growing rapidly. If you want a role where your technical expertise and leadership make a direct impact on national security missions, this is it.

A Mission Portfolio That’s Growing

  • Fusion Fuel Cycle Innovation — pioneering the science and safety frameworks for next-generation fusion fuel technologies
  • Nuclear Deterrence and Nonproliferation — delivering solutions that support the nation’s nuclear security posture
  • Accelerated Plutonium Disposition — breakthroughs like H-Canyon glass-loading analysis have compressed disposition timelines by approximately two years
  • Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Isotopes — expanding SRNL’s role in nuclear materials processing and isotope production
  • Environmental Cleanup and Restoration — applying cutting-edge tools, including AI, to complex environmental challenges

Why SRNL? Why This Role?

  • Real Impact: Support safe operations across Hazard Category 2 and 3 nuclear facilities enabling critical national security missions
  • Technical Depth: Work at the forefront of safety basis development, criticality safety, and nuclear readiness
  • Growth Opportunity: Coordinate directly with the Senior Nuclear Safety Manager and Chief Engineer to shape programs during significant laboratory expansion
  • Build Your Career: Develop leadership skills while deepening technical expertise with a clear upward trajectory

  • Establish and maintain high technical standards and expectations for analytical rigor

Drive Safety Basis Execution

  • Lead and perform development, revision, and maintenance of Documented Safety Analyses (DSAs) and Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) under 10 CFR 830

  • Ensure compliance with ANSI/ANS-8 standards and DOE O 420.1D requirements
  • Support development and maintenance of defensible criticality safety evaluations (CSEs) and controls
  • Support integration between operations, nuclear safety, and criticality safety engineering

Support Readiness and Startup

  • Support nuclear readiness reviews, management self-assessments, and DOE Readiness Assessments (RAs)
  • Ensure readiness processes meet DOE O 425.1 requirements
  • Support independent evaluation of facility safety posture prior to startup or restart
  • Help guide facilities through startup following significant modifications or extended outages

Support DOE Interface

  • Support the Senior Nuclear Safety Manager and Chief Engineer as points of contact for DOE field offices on nuclear safety matters
  • Support interactions with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) as needed
  • Contribute to briefings for senior laboratory and federal leadership
  • Support timely response to DOE findings, enforcement actions, and assessments
