Our mission is bold and we’re looking for equally bold thinkers to help us bring it to life. If you thrive at the intersection of engineering and regulatory strategy, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of clean energy.\nOverview:\nThe Radiological Controls (RadCon) Lead is responsible for establishing, implementing, and continuously improving the radiation protection program for Lightbridge's pilot HALEU metallic fuel fabrication facility. This role ensures worker and public dose remain ALARA, oversees contamination control and radiological monitoring across all fabrication process areas (melting, extrusion, machining, and material handling), and maintains compliance with 10 CFR Part 20 and facility-specific radiological work permits. This role will eventually mature into a department manager role and be responsible for directing and overseeing the implementation of the Lightbridge radiological control program within Lightbridge’s fuel fabrication facility.\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop, implement, and maintain the facility Radiation Protection Program, including ALARA program, dosimetry, and radiological work permit (RWP) systems.\nEstablish radiological postings, access controls, and contamination control zones consistent with facility layout and HALEU material handling operations.\nOversee radiological survey programs (airborne, surface contamination, and dose-rate surveys) across melting, extrusion, machining, and storage areas.\nManage external and internal dosimetry programs, bioassay, and dose recordkeeping for facility personnel and visitors.\nSelect, calibrate, and maintain radiation detection instrumentation, portal monitors, and continuous air monitors.\nLead radiological training and qualification for operations, maintenance, and engineering personnel; deliver RadCon technician training and qualification.\nCoordinate radioactive waste characterization, packaging, and shipment in support of facility waste management and Part 71 transportation requirements.\nInvestigate radiological occurrences (e.g., contamination events, elevated readings, RWP violations), perform causal analysis, and track corrective actions.\nServe as the facility's primary technical point of contact with NRC on radiation protection matters, including inspections and license conditions related to Part 20.\nPartner with the Nuclear Facility Manager and Nuclear Safeguards Specialist on integrated safety basis reviews for new or modified processes.\nRequired Experience:\nBachelor's degree in Health Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Radiological Sciences, or related field.\nMinimum 7 years of radiation protection experience at an NRC- or DOE-licensed facility handling special nuclear material, at least 3 years in a lead or supervisory capacity.\nDemonstrated working knowledge of 10 CFR Part 20 and ALARA program implementation.\nHands-on experience with radiological survey techniques, instrumentation calibration, and contamination control in an SNM handling environment.\nExperience managing dosimetry and bioassay programs and associated recordkeeping/reporting.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing procedures and interfacing with regulators.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nCertified Health Physicist (CHP) or actively pursuing certification.\nExperience with uranium metal/alloy processing (as opposed to oxide fuel forms), including handling of enriched uranium in metallic form.\nExperience with HALEU-specific radiological considerations and criticality safety interfaces.\nPrior involvement in facility startup, licensing, or readiness review activities.\nLightbridge is committed to supporting the people who power our mission. We offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits program designed to promote well-being, flexibility, and long-term growth, including:\n Competitive salary and performance bonuses, including cash and equity awards\n Remote-first work culture with opportunities for travel\n 100% company-paid health, dental, and vision coverage\n 401(k) with 100% company match\n Generous time off and family care benefits\n Up to 32 hours per year of company-covered professional development course fees\nIf you’re excited about contributing to work that will help shape the future of clean energy, we encourage you to apply. We look forward to learning more about you and the impact you can make at Lightbridge.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4541,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T18:40:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.3,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":104,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T14:33:44Z","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":21985,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1812456},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1812456"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead"},{"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%2Flightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead"},{"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%2Flightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead"},{"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/lightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flightbridge-corporation-radiological-controls-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3104683}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ltbridge.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3104683},"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.
