Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power-enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world. \nThe Health Physicist supports Standard Nuclear’s radiological protection program by evaluating radiation hazards, developing protective measures, and ensuring safe working conditions across nuclear fuel manufacturing, laboratory, and material processing operations. This role provides technical expertise in radiation protection, contamination control, exposure assessment, and regulatory compliance to support safe and efficient operations. \nThis is a hands-on technical role requiring strong knowledge of health physics principles, sound judgment, and the ability to translate radiological requirements into practical operational controls. The Health Physicist works closely with radiological control technicians, manufacturing, engineering, EH&S, quality, and licensing teams to identify risks, implement effective controls, and maintain compliance as Standard Nuclear expands its manufacturing capabilities. \nRESPONSIBILITIES \nRadiological Protection & Compliance \nSupport implementation and continuous improvement of the site's radiological protection program \nEvaluate radiological hazards associated with nuclear fuel fabrication, uranium processing, material handling, and laboratory activities \nDevelop and maintain radiation protection procedures, technical assessments, and operational controls \nEnsure radiological practices align with applicable regulations, license conditions, and company requirements \nApply As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principles to minimize occupational radiation exposure \nRadiation Monitoring & Dosimetry \nEvaluate personnel radiation exposure through internal and external dosimetry programs \nAssess radiation survey data, contamination levels, airborne radioactivity, and exposure trends \nPerform health physics calculations involving dose assessment, shielding, contamination, and airborne radioactivity \nSupport selection, evaluation, calibration, and appropriate use of radiation detection and monitoring equipment \nAnalyze monitoring results to identify potential hazards and recommend corrective or preventive measures \nRadiological Assessments & Operational Controls \nConduct radiological hazard assessments for manufacturing processes, equipment, facilities, and new operations \nEstablish appropriate monitoring requirements, contamination controls, protective equipment, and radiological work practices \nSupport development and review of radiological work permits, work instructions, and hazard assessments \nProvide technical guidance to operations, engineering, and maintenance personnel on radiological safety requirements \nEvaluate radiological impacts associated with process changes, equipment modifications, and manufacturing scale-up \nIncident Response & Corrective Actions \nSupport investigations involving radiological incidents, contamination events, unexpected exposures, or abnormal monitoring results \nPerform technical evaluations to determine contributing factors, potential exposure consequences, and appropriate corrective actions \nDevelop recommendations to prevent recurrence and improve radiological protection practices \nSupport emergency preparedness activities, radiological response planning, and recovery efforts \nIdentify opportunities to improve radiological controls, monitoring practices, and overall program effectiveness \nDocumentation, Training & Cross-Functional Support \nPrepare and maintain radiological assessments, technical reports, procedures, monitoring records, and compliance documentation \nSupport radiological training and provide technical guidance to radiological control technicians and facility personnel \nParticipate in audits, inspections, regulatory reviews, and corrective action activities \nCollaborate with EH&S, manufacturing, engineering, quality, and licensing teams to integrate radiological safety into operational planning \nSupport development of scalable radiological protection practices as manufacturing operations and facility capabilities expand \nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS \nBachelor’s degree in Health Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Radiation Protection, Physics, or a related technical discipline \n3-7 years of experience in health physics, radiation protection, radiological safety, or related nuclear operations \nExperience supporting radiological protection programs in nuclear facilities, fuel fabrication, uranium processing, national laboratories, or other regulated environments \nStrong understanding of radiation detection, radiation measurement, contamination control, dosimetry, and exposure assessment \nExperience performing radiological calculations involving internal and external dose, shielding, airborne radioactivity, and radiation hazards \nFamiliarity with applicable NRC and DOE radiation protection requirements, including 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR Part 835, as relevant to facility operations \nExperience conducting radiological hazard assessments and developing operational controls for radioactive material handling and processing \nKnowledge of ALARA principles, radiological work permits, radiation monitoring instruments, and personnel protective measures \nExperience developing technical procedures, radiological reports, compliance documentation, and corrective action plans \nAbility to work effectively with radiological control technicians, engineers, operators, and safety personnel in operational environments \nStrong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate technical findings and recommendations clearly \nCertified Health Physicist (CHP) designation or progress toward certification is preferred \nBENEFITS \nHealth, Dental & Vision Insurance \nHealth Savings Account \nDisability and Life Insurance \n401(k) Plan \nPaid Time Off and Holidays \nWORK ENVIRONMENT \nThe work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions. \nThis role is based in Oak Ridge, TN and involves work across office, laboratory, manufacturing, and controlled radiological environments. \nThe position requires regular interaction with radiological controls, manufacturing, engineering, EH&S, quality, and licensing teams. Work may involve nuclear fuel processing areas, radiological surveys, contamination monitoring, airborne radioactivity assessments, controlled areas, and use of required PPE. Adherence to site safety, quality, radiological, environmental, and operational procedures is expected. Reasonable accommodation will be provided to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. \nStandard Nuclear embraces equal opportunity and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
