Candidates who have possessed an active DOE clearance (L or Q) within the past two (2) years are preferred.

Technical Background: Proven experience in nuclear facility operations, NNSA/DOE client environments, or similarly complex, high-hazard industrial operations.

Communication: Exceptional ability to lead teams and mentor junior staff in a high-pressure, high-security setting.
