## About the role

Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years.

## What they're looking for

- 12+ years experience in government affairs, public policy, or related roles, including direct engagement with federal energy policy
- Established relationships with, and working knowledge of, the Department of Energy, Congress, and FERC
- Experience in the energy sector — nuclear, power generation, or large-scale infrastructure development strongly preferred
- Demonstrated track record leading state-level advocacy efforts across multiple jurisdictions
- Experience building and leading a government affairs function, including managing external lobbyists and consultants within budget
- Strong understanding of RTO/ISO market structures and FERC regulatory processes, including interconnection, NEPA, and permitting
