Senior Modularization Engineer

The Senior Modularization Engineer is a hands-on technical lead within Blue Energy's owner's engineering team, responsible for executing the day-to-day modularization and shop-fabrication scope for the a major Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power block. The role pairs with a Junior Modularization Engineer to run Blue Energy's modularization studies - beginning with a Modularization & Fabrication Study being performed by a major fabricator who specializes in modular fabrication.

The Senior Engineer is the steady hand on "the art of the possible": grounding ambitious modularization concepts in fabrication, transport, and installation reality, and managing the substantial project-management scope that a multi-building modularization study carries. Where the Junior Engineer generates concepts and challenges convention, the Senior Engineer pressure-tests them, sequences the work, and ensures deliverables land on schedule and to Blue Energy's quality and information-management standards.

- Own: day-to-day delivery of Blue Energy's modularization scopes of work, beginning with the SMR Modularization & Fabrication Study; manage the Fabricator's progress against the SOW, track deliverables, and steward stage-gate reviews and formal acceptance.

- Coordinate: the hybrid kickoff, virtual midpoint, and final review workshops across Blue Energy, the SMR OEM, and the Fabricator.

- Assess: module and supermodule concepts for fabrication efficiency, transportability, lift / rigging feasibility, and site assembly sequence.

- Distinguish: concepts achievable within the SMR plant from those that would require design changes the OEM may not accept, preserving standard-plant design intent.

- Review and recommend: optimized module / supermodule breakdowns across the SMR buildings.

- Review: interface control documentation (ICDs), tolerances, fit-up requirements, and responsibility allocation; uphold Blue Energy's retained approval authority over the final breakdown.

- Enforce: the Blue Energy transport envelope as a binding constraint; verify module conformance and quantify any exceedance.

- Maintain: study schedules, deliverable registers, action / decision logs, and risk / open-item tracking; manage the large coordination load across owner, OEM, AE, and Fabricator.

- Review: ROM cost and schedule estimates, fabrication-yard layouts, and throughput estimates; sanity-check assumptions and the conventional-construction baseline comparison.

- Ensure: deliverables comply with Blue Energy's Information Management Framework (OIR / AIR / EIR) and ISO 19650 - native and interoperable formats, defined Levels of Information Need, naming conventions, and metadata.

- Flag: quality-classification (10 CFR 50 Appendix B / NQA-1) and inspection-access implications arising from proposed module boundaries.

- Serve: as a primary technical point of contact to SMR OEM and the Fabricator on modularization; translate SMR design intent into modularization requirements and back.

- Mentor: the Junior Modularization Engineer, providing technical backup and helping shape creative concepts into decision-ready options.

- 7-12 years of engineering experience on major power, nuclear, offshore, petrochemical, or heavy-industrial projects, with substantial modularization / modular construction content.

- Demonstrated ownership of modularization scope from concept through fabrication, transport, and site installation.

- Strong project-management capability: schedule, deliverable management, interface and risk tracking, and vendor / contractor oversight.

- Sound grasp of constructability, heavy transport and lift engineering, and design-for-modularization across disciplines (civil / structural, mechanical, piping, electrical / I&C).

- Experience with nuclear modular construction and familiarity with the BWRX-300 or comparable SMR / large reactor designs.

- Familiarity with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, NQA-1, ASME, AWS, and IEEE, and with NRC construction oversight.

- Familiarity with ISO 19650 information management and Common Data Environment (CDE) workflows.

- Experience interfacing with reactor OEMs (e.g., GVH / GVHNE), EPC contractors, and fabrication yards.

- Exposure to shipyard / offshore fabrication techniques applied to land-based plant construction.
