Description
Who We Are! Elementl Power Inc. is an advanced nuclear project developer and independent power producer, building scalable pathways for clean, resilient energy. We break the stalemate in advanced nuclear deployment by delivering turnkey development, financing, and ownership solutions — empowering customers to access nuclear power without the burden of operating assets. The Opportunity. We're excited to add a Director, Nuclear Project Quality Assurance to our growing regulatory and licensing team! Reporting to the SVP of Licensing & Regulatory Affairs, you'll own Elementl's nuclear project quality assurance strategy and implementation across the project portfolio, establishing and maintaining our QA program across the project lifecycle. In the initial development phase, you'll focus on qualifying and overseeing suppliers with established 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B quality assurance programs, implementing quality controls across licensing, engineering, environmental, site characterization, and procurement, and preparing the organization for NRC licensing. As Elementl's projects mature, the role expands into procurement and oversight of long-lead equipment, construction, testing, operational readiness, and long-term operating QA. Your first responsibility will be revising and implementing Elementl's NIAC-reviewed Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) to focus it on development-phase activities, executed through a lean internal model supported by qualified contractors, consultants, and third-party assessors. What You'll Do! Supplier Qualification & Approved Supplier List Develop, implement, and maintain Elementl's supplier qualification strategy and program, and establish and maintain the Approved Supplier List (ASL). Qualify and periodically requalify reactor vendors, architect-engineers, EPC contractors, owner's engineers, environmental consultants, and other suppliers subject to Appendix B, 10 CFR Part 21, or Elementl project quality controls. Evaluate supplier quality assurance programs through audits, surveillances, performance history, corrective actions, and industry data (NIAC, NUPIC), and build a risk-ranked qualification plan tied to project milestones and procurement needs. Oversee quality assurance flowdowns and sub-tier supplier control, including procurement-document requirements. Audits & Supplier Oversight Plan, conduct, and coordinate supplier audits, surveillances, assessments, and corrective action verification, overseeing contracted auditors and technical specialists as needed. Participate in shared industry supplier assessments through NIAC, NUPIC, and other recognized organizations. Monitor supplier corrective actions, lead continuous supplier performance monitoring, and maintain audit and qualification records. Maintain Lead Auditor qualification and ensure Elementl retains sufficient internal or contracted lead-auditor capability. Licensing & Engineering Quality Assurance Ensure engineering and licensing activities supporting feasibility studies, pre-FEED, FEED, and NRC licensing are conducted under appropriate quality assurance controls. Verify QA implementation for engineering calculations, licensing analyses, environmental and site-characterization data, software, records, and technical deliverables. Coordinate with Licensing to ensure technical information used in NRC submittals is controlled, traceable, and supported by retrievable records. Lead the QA interface among Engineering, Licensing, Environmental & Permitting, Procurement, Project Management, and Legal — reviewing QA requirements in statements of work, contracts, and supplier flowdowns. Program Development & Governance Revise the existing NIAC-reviewed QAPD and implement supporting procedures for supplier qualification, audits, document control, records management, corrective action, software QA, and nonconformance control. Manage QA program changes under applicable NRC chan
