About The Position

Join GE Vernova's pioneering Nuclear Risk-Informed Maintenance (RIM) Engineering team and help shape the future of clean energy. We are developing the maintenance strategies that will enable a transformational advanced reactor design to operate safely, reliably, and efficiently for decades to come. As Technical Lead, you'll be at the forefront of this innovation, orchestrating a team of talented engineers to deliver the technical foundation that powers next-generation nuclear energy. You won't just manage work; you'll lead a team that's solving some of the most complex reliability and maintenance challenges in the industry. Your leadership will directly impact how millions of people access clean, reliable power. In this role, you'll drive team execution using agile methodologies, ensure on-time delivery of high-quality technical work, mentor the next generation of nuclear engineers, and partner with your manager to build a high-performing team. You'll work across design, systems engineering, and operations to ensure our maintenance strategies are not just technically sound, but practical and implementable. This is a chance to lead with purpose, building the reliability foundation for reactors that will define the energy landscape for the next 60+ years.
