About the role
The Senior Vice President, Deployment is TNC’s fleet-level owner of nuclear project execution from FEL-3 through fuel load. This role owns the company’s deployment methodology, EPC contractor relationships, construction execution, and commissioning capability across all TNC projects in the pipeline. It is one of the most consequential hires TNC will make.
TNC’s Build-Own-Operate model depends on a deployment capability that is repeatable, credible, and improving with each project. The SVP, Deployment is responsible for building that capability from the ground up — establishing the systems, processes, standards, and team that will allow TNC to execute nuclear construction projects at fleet scale. This is not a role for someone who wants to run one project. It is a role for someone who wants to build the operational infrastructure that makes TNC a world-class nuclear developer and operator.
TNC’s development-to-operations pipeline is structured around three sequential phases with defined handoff periods. This role enters during FEL-3 — the final pre-FID development phase — working alongside the SVP, Project Development during the transition. From FID through commissioning and fuel load, this role owns the project. At fuel load, the SVP, Deployment transitions accountability to the SVP, Operations during a defined handoff period. Managing both of these transitions well is as important as managing the construction work in between.
As TNC’s organizational structure matures and the company scales, reporting lines may be adjusted to reflect evolving business needs — the scope and accountabilities of this role are not contingent on any single reporting structure.
Responsibilities
Deployment Methodology & Fleet Capability
The SVP, Deployment’s first and most enduring responsibility is building TNC’s deployment capability as a repeatable, scalable organizational competency. Individual project performance matters; fleet-level deployment capability matters more.
Establish TNC’s deployment methodology — the standardized processes, playbooks, stage gate frameworks, and decision-making structures that govern how TNC executes nuclear construction projects. This methodology is a competitive
