## 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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Professional Engineer (PE) license
- Experience with first-of-a-kind or emerging technology deployment — nuclear balance-of-plant, small modular reactors, carbon capture, hydrogen, advanced power cycles, or similar
- Experience managing technical interfaces between EPC contractors, OEMs, regulators, utilities, and project stakeholders
- Experience supporting field teams during construction and start-up phases
- Familiarity with project risk management, design risk assessment, resource planning, and scenario-based decision-making
- Willingness to travel to project sites, including remote and international locations as required
