systems, radiological ventilation, structural design, process systems, and instrumentation and controls\nEnsure appropriate technical resources are available to address Natural Phenomena Hazards, nuclear facility design, shielding, remote handling, and other specialized requirements\nEnsure compliance with applicable DOE orders, NQA-1 requirements, safety standards, and federal regulations\nCoordinate with technical leads on Documented Safety Analyses, commercial grade dedication processes, and procurement specifications\nEstablish and maintain qualified Key Personnel and designated alternates throughout the contract period\nOversee project execution plans, quality assurance procedures, technical reviews, and risk management\nManage project financial performance, including budgets, forecasting, invoicing, cash flow, and profitability\nDevelop technical approaches, staffing plans, schedules, and cost estimates for task order proposals\nSupport laboratory

equipment\nExperience supporting operating research laboratories where mission continuity and safety are critical\nEstablished relationships within the DOE national laboratory community\nDemonstrated success expanding existing federal programs and developing new task order opportunities\n Sponsorship for US employment authorization is not available now or in the future for this position.
