About The Position

APTIM is seeking an experienced Radiological Control Supervisor to support Department of Energy (DOE) decontamination, decommissioning, and remediation (DD&R) radiological field operations at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) – Bettis Laboratory Site in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. Project scope includes the demolition of two former research reactor facilities, Buildings CX and CY, as well as the Material Evaluation Laboratory, requiring disciplined radiological control in complex legacy environments. APTIM is seeking an experienced Radiological Control Supervisor to provide leadership and oversight of radiological control operations in support of Department of Energy (DOE) Decontamination, Decommissioning, and Remediation (DD&R) projects at Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) – Bettis Laboratory Site in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. The Radiological Control Supervisor is responsible for directing daily radiological field activities, supervising RCT staff, and ensuring radiological controls are effectively implemented to protect workers, the public, and the environment during complex DD&R operations. Reporting to the Project Radiation Safety Officer, the Radiological Control Supervisor oversees radiological work planning and execution; assigns and prioritizes field coverage; reviews and approves radiological surveys and documentation; and ensures compliance with 10 CFR 835, site Radiation Protection Program, Radiological Work Permits (RWPs), and APTIM and project‑specific requirements. The position interfaces closely with project management, work planning, operations, and subcontractor personnel to support safe, compliant, and efficient execution of high‑hazard radiological activities. The RCT Supervisor is accountable for maintaining a strong radiological safety culture; mentoring and developing RCT staff; supporting personnel qualifications and training; and ensuring radiation detection and measurement instrumentation, survey practices, and data quality meet regulatory and contractual standards. This role requires demonstrated leadership, sound technical judgment, and extensive DD&R experience in active and legacy radiological environments. All work must be performed to the highest standards of technical excellence, procedural compliance, and data integrity, consistent with APTIM policies, client expectations, and DOE requirements.
