Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.\nJob Overview:\nWe are seeking a talented Senior Licensing Engineer - Safety to join our regulatory team and to bring our innovative nuclear power plant designs through the regulatory approval process. You will play a critical role in Blue Energy’s mission by supporting the regulatory strategy, collaborating with the engineering team, and engaging with the NRC and international agencies. You will support critical NRC interactions, spanning from topical report submissions to licensing applications. You will lead key regulatory projects, directly contributing to submissions and managing external vendors used to support our regulatory efforts.\nKey Responsibilities:\nSupport VP of Regulatory Affairs and Director of Licensing in developing and executing Blue Energy’s licensing strategy for nuclear power plant deployment.\n\nPerform and lead licensing work (e.g., topical report development and RAI response) collaboratively with Blue Energy licensing staff and contractors.\n\nPrepare, submit, and track regulatory filings, including Blue Energy’s Construction Permit Application (CPA), and supporting documents needed to support the NRC licensing process.\n\nDevelop topical reports, white papers, and Safety Analysis Reports (SARs).\n\nWork closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure alignment between regulatory requirements and engineering designs, site selection, and plant construction timelines.\n\nInterface with the NRC and international regulatory bodies to address regulatory questions, provide data, and manage requests for additional information (RAIs).\n\nParticipate in regulatory meetings, audits, and inspections, representing Blue Energy’s interests to ensure smooth and timely licensing.\n\nStay up-to-date with evolving regulatory standards and frameworks, including NRC regulations (e.g., 10 CFR 50), NUREGs, and relevant international guidelines, to anticipate their impact on Blue Energy’s projects.\n\nCollaborate with engineering teams and vendors to develop and review documentation supporting regulatory submissions and design certification applications.\n\nBuild and maintain relationships with regulators, policymakers, and external stakeholders to advocate for policy changes that enable more efficient nuclear power deployment.\n\nQualifications:\nEducation: Bachelor’s degree or higher in science (e.g., physics, chemistry, etc) or engineering (nuclear, mechanical, electrical, or a related field).\nExperience:\n8+ years of experience in regulatory affairs or licensing within the nuclear industry or a relevant governmental agency (e.g., NRC, DOE).\n\nDeep knowledge of NRC regulations, licensing processes, and safety standards.\n\nExperience with 10 CFR Part 50, especially the construction permit application process; experience with Gen 3+ or advanced reactor designs is a plus.\n\nStrong ability to interpret complex regulatory requirements and translate them into actionable tasks.\n\nExcellent communication (both verbal and written) and project management skills, with a proven track record of working effectively with engineering, legal, and regulatory teams.\n\nAbility to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced startup environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with international regulatory bodies (e.g., ONR, CNSC) and their nuclear licensing processes.\n\nExperience working on small modular reactors (SMRs) or other advanced reactor technologies.\n\nProfessional Engineering (PE) license\n\nExperience working in a collaborative, high-growth startup environment where problem-solving and adaptability are crucial.\n\nWe look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.\nBlue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the right candidate for this or other roles at Blue Energy now or in the future.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4994,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T15:26:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.329,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":757,"expected_fill_days":78,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T17:24:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26651,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":450349},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=450349"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fblue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fblue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fblue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/blue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fblue-energy-senior-licensing-engineer-safety"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":304904}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"blueenergy.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":304904},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
