Who We Are
As the Savannah River Site’s management and operations contractor since 2008, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) makes the world safer. With safety and security in the forefront, SRNS develops innovative approaches to deliver on our environmental commitments and nuclear materials challenges; supplies products and services necessary to maintain the nation’s nuclear deterrent; secures nuclear materials to prevent unwanted proliferation; and transforms nuclear materials into assets and stable wasteforms.
The SRNS workforce is highly capable, engaged, and adaptable to meet existing and expanding missions. SRNS employees apply superior expertise and innovative solutions to complex and challenging national and global issues. We have the knowledge to address a range of national and international nuclear issues. We make the world safer – and you can, too.
What You'll Do in This Position
Fellow Technical Advisor reporting to the Savannah River Tritium Enterprise (SRTE) Mission Assurance (MA) manager. The Mission Assurance organization includes the Institutional Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Weapon Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Contractor Assurance/Governance, and Nuclear Enterprise Assurance functions. This position is responsible for ensuring the successful implementation of these critical core functions, SRTE strategic initiatives, providing technical expertise to the Mission Assurance organization, and representing MA and SRTE within the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE).
Examples of duties and responsibilities include:
Establish cost-effective technical solutions to issues generated by frequently changing requirements; define, and conduct technical investigations where appropriate. Guide and direct audits of performance to determine effectiveness. Develop "leading edge" methods and technologies to effectively mitigate undesirable programmatic and operational issues or deficiencies affecting broad site initiatives or issues within the DOE complex. Provide expert technical guidance and leadership on problem resolution by assessing atypical, extremely complex issues, and situations impacting future roles of the organization and/or program operations (e.g., policies, major process reengineering, strategic planning, organizational development affecting SRS and/or the DOE complex). Typical assignments are most often broad, and program oriented in nature; assignments require extended periods of time often involving several months to years, although occasional smaller and less complex issues are also handled and typically require less time. Provide expert leadership of multi-disciplinary team(s) engaged in highly visible/business sensitive, project-type work involving extremely complex problems, and/or key budget, schedule, or regulatory compliance issues, for example. May involve engaging consultants and other outside experts. Define scope of new "line-item" project-type work, and changing technical program requirements. Work independently to ensure adherence to technical policies and guidelines; consult with cognizant site and DOE management and staff on corrective action plans. Represent assigned organization and technical issues to both internal and external customers; manage related correspondence. Interact with DOE-SR, DOE-HQ, and other external organizations on substantive matters involving assigned technical issues. Interact with oversight panels and boards as appropriate in areas of technical expertise. Propose strategic business goals and milestones involving technical issues for which incumbent has expertise, impacting DOE complex-wide organizational and operational performance will be measured; participate in related strategic initiatives. Develop strategic plans for major new program areas impacting the DOE complex and for resolving technical issues. Remain intellectually current of job related emerging technologies, and serve as communications source for advanced technical theories, principles, and concepts. Manage special projects involving multiple divisions, departments, or other organizations. Utilize self-initiative and delegated authority to draw on the required resources and expertise to solve complex organizational and programmatic problems within the framework of a team environment with only limited broad direction. Provide input and participate in programmatic improvement initiatives in support of SRS or DOE complex-wide mission goals. Provide technical and operational input on such items as Authorization Bases Documents, technical reports, and program-level procedures. Also, provide technical input to Training, Procedures, and other such support organizations as appropriate.
