About The Position

The safe and reliable operation of a nuclear power station takes more than great technology and equipment; it depends upon a team of professionals fully committed to a healthy Nuclear Safety Culture. Each and every team member is expected to approach their work with a questioning attitude and to raise potential safety concerns without fear of harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or discrimination. To nurture a culture of safety and to fulfill its regulatory commitments, Dominion Energy’s Nuclear Business Unit (NBU) operates an Employee Concerns Department (ECP). The ECP provides technical, investigative and administrative direction for both fleetwide and site-specific nuclear safety programs. Areas of focus will include plant operations, radiological releases, safeguards, radiation protection, and other matters relating to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulated activities. The ECP is actively seeking to hire an Employee Concerns Program Specialist (“Specialist”) to support both the North Anna Power Station (Mineral, VA) and the Surry Power Station (Surry, VA). This single role will be based at either North Anna or Surry. The nature of the work may require periods of heavy workload and involve irregular or unpredictable hours of work. Periodically there may be considerable work pressures involving delicate and/or potentially serious matters related to major functions of the NBU or involving several employees.
