In this foundational role, you will stand up procurement engineering, commercial-grade dedication, and counterfeit-parts controls while working closely with finance and quality teams to establish the entire nuclear-qualified supply chain and shipyard qualification plan.\nResponsibilities\nCapture and translate complex engineering requirements into actionable supplier specifications for primary and secondary loop components.\n\nIdentify, vet, and onboard suppliers capable of delivering high-quality, nuclear-grade materials and components.\n\nSelect, implement, and manage an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to handle inventory control, ordering, and logistics.\n\nNegotiate contracts, manage procurement costs, and establish robust cost-control mechanisms for the startup phase and beyond.\n\nWork closely with the Quality team to ensure all suppliers comply with relevant quality standards (ASME NQA-1 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B).\n\nStand up the supplier audit and corrective action program (CAP) processes across our vendor network.\n\nBuild out a nuclear-qualified supply chain alongside a comprehensive shipyard qualification plan.\n\nOwn procurement engineering, commercial-grade dedication (CGD), and counterfeit-parts controls across all procurement streams.\n\nPartner with finance and leadership on make-vs-buy analyses and the capital planning of long-lead procurement items.\n\nEstablish document control, records management, and configuration management systems to ensure full component traceability and pedigree.\n\nRequired Qualifications & Skills\nProven experience in supply chain management within nuclear, aerospace, marine, or highly regulated heavy manufacturing industries.\n\nDemonstrated experience successfully implementing and scaling Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in a manufacturing environment.\n\nSolid understanding of procurement engineering principles, contract negotiation, and inventory logistics.\n\nPractical familiarity with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality assurance criteria and vendor management practices.\n\nExperience establishing vendor audit controls, receipt inspections, and component traceability processes.\n\nStrong track record of technical collaboration with engineering, quality, and finance teams.\n\nDesired Qualifications & Skills\nStrong familiarity with ASME NQA-1 standards and nuclear supply chain requirements is highly preferred.\n\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Quality, or a related technical discipline.\n\nDirect experience leading or supporting an ASME NQA-1 program and establishing nuclear-qualified vendor networks.\n\nHands-on experience with commercial-grade dedication (CGD) per EPRI guidelines and 10 CFR Part 21 defect reporting rules.\n\nFamiliarity with shipyard and commercial marine quality assurance interfaces, weld qualifications, and non-destructive examination (NDE) standards.\n\nProven capability in
