About The Position

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries. The Operations Associate supports the day-to-day running of Blue Energy’s operations, providing essential administrative, logistical, and process support across teams. It is a unique opportunity to understand how to organize, run, and scale a high growth business alongside our Corporate Operations Manager and Chief of Staff. This role plays a key part in keeping systems organised, information accurate, and operational processes running smoothly across the UK, US, and global offices.
