- Write clear work instructions with prerequisites, acceptance criteria, inspection and hold points, required qualifications, tools, materials, and post-maintenance testing
- Coordinate hazard reviews and incorporate approved controls for electrical energy, pressure, temperature, radiation, chemicals, lifting, confined spaces, and other job-specific hazards
- Coordinate with Operations on plant conditions, equipment availability, isolations, and work authorization; route proposed work for required safety basis and change reviews
- Confirm that approved drawings, procedures, parts, material certifications, special processes, and inspection requirements are available before work is scheduled
- Support work prioritization and scheduling; identify resource needs, long-lead materials, and dependencies
- Support field questions and route changes through the approved process; reconcile completed packages, test results, equipment history, and configuration records
- Help improve work management procedures, reusable job plans, and computerized maintenance management system records; incorporate craft feedback and lessons learned
Requirements:
- At least five years of relevant maintenance, operations, or technical experience, including at least two years developing or substantially supporting nuclear work packages
- Experience at a commercial nuclear plant, DOE nuclear facility, naval nuclear program, or comparable nuclear installation
