The Nuclear Company, a Series A AI-enabled startup pioneering fleet-scale nuclear reactor deployment, seeks a Senior Nuclear Training Specialist to join the Regulatory Affairs & Training team in Columbia, South Carolina.
You will design, develop, and deliver performance-based training and qualification programs across the organization—spanning internal compliance, technical qualification, project and site support, leadership development, and client-facing services. This is a builder role where you create qualification standards, curricula, examinations, and program infrastructure from the ground up, applying the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) to meet regulatory and industry standards while scaling to fleet deployment.
Key responsibilities include:
**Program Design & Development:** Design and develop training programs using SAT methodology consistent with ANSI/ANS 3.1, 10 CFR 50.120, and INPO ACAD guidance. Conduct training needs analyses; develop qualification standards, qualification cards, job performance measures, lesson plans, and written/practical examinations for professional, technical, and craft positions. Develop pre-qualification and selection assessment instruments with defensible, behaviorally anchored scoring for safety-significant roles. Leverage TNC's AI-accelerated content development toolset to produce fleet-consistent training materials at pace.
**Compliance & Regulatory Alignment:** Maintain and execute against the training requirements matrix; support compliance training delivery, NANTeL reciprocity, and training records meeting NQA-1 quality requirements. Support licensed operator training and requalification program design consistent with 10 CFR Part 55 and NUREG-1021, including continuing training cycle tracking and evaluation. Maintain export-control (10 CFR Part 810) awareness in design-specific technical content development and transfer.
**Qualification Tracking & Administration:** Administer qualification and requalification tracking tools and records architecture; monitor cycle compliance and report program health to leadership. Support the 90-day structured onboarding pipeline and leadership development curriculum, including supervisor training built on industry leadership standards.
**Client & Fleet Services Delivery:** Support delivery of commercial training services to utility, new-build, and pre-operational clients—including training system design, workforce pipeline development, content development, and operational readiness consulting. Contribute technology-agnostic capability content for proposals and RFP responses; support international engagements aligned to WANO performance objectives. Deliver instruction and instructor development as needed, including train-the-trainer and instructor certification support.
The company operates with an AI-first mindset, expecting all employees to leverage AI, technology, and the Nuclear Operating System (NOS) as integral components of their work. The culture emphasizes transparency, responsibility, unity, scrappiness, and tenacity, with TRUST as the foundation of safety culture.
