The Role
The Licensing Engineer 3 is a senior licensing engineer who develops assigned portions of license applications and safety basis documents and owns assigned chapters or topic areas end-to-end: planning inputs, authoring, coordinating subject-matter-expert (SME) review, and resolving regulator comments to closure.

Key Responsibilities

- Prepare responses to regulator requests and comments for assigned scope; track resolution to closure.
- Maintain assigned chapter care packages: reference sets, current inputs, and approved baselines.
- Mentor other licensing engineers and review their work products.
Basic Qualifications

- Ten (10) or more years of experience in nuclear licensing, regulatory affairs, or related experience, including regulatory document or safety analysis authorship.
