Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional nuclear outage productivity projects across the full lifecycle, from idea generation and problem definition through pilot, validation, standardization, deployment, handover, and sustainment.
• Identify, frame, and prioritize productivity opportunities based on field pain points, bottlenecks, waste, customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact.
• Translate opportunities into structured projects with clear problem statements, scope, applicability, expected benefits, success criteria, and deployment requirements.
• Drive productivity improvements for Nuclear Steam Turbine and Generator outage services and Steam Turbine upgrades, including planning, preparation, tooling, field execution, outage support, and standard work deployment.
• Lead Kaizen events, LORaP workshops, and working sessions to develop practical, field-ready solutions and align stakeholders on implementation requirements.
• Define and execute pilot and PDCA plans, using measurable performance indicators, field feedback, and lessons learned to validate solutions before broader rollout.
• Industrialize productivity solutions into standard, repeatable, scalable, and sustainable ways of working by coordinating updates to procedures, outage standards, tooling readiness, planning templates, training, commercial inputs, and operating rhythms.
• Develop deployment packages that include communication plans, training plans, change actions, KPI/PPI definitions, adoption expectations, and handover requirements for segments and regions.
• Partner with segment nuclear field service teams, outage planning, commercial, engineering, tooling, and operations teams to ensure deployment readiness, adoption, and sustainment.
• Engage field teams and site leaders to gather feedback, improve usability, remove adoption barriers, and strengthen the feedback loop between execution teams and functional owners.
• Coordinate with tooling and engineering teams to define development needs, testing plans, and scale-up requirements for new tools or equipment.
• Serve as project manager and business owner for assigned productivity initiatives, ensuring disciplined execution through stage gates covering opportunity approval, solution validation, standardization, industrialization, deployment readiness, and sustainment confirmation.
• Own project governance, schedules, risk management, stakeholder alignment, executive updates, pilot budgets, validation costs, and related CAPEX requests.
• Define, track, and report metrics for project progress, pilot performance, validated impact, deployment readiness, adoption, and sustained results, including integration into Daily Management and MOR/KPI systems where applicable.
• Communicate productivity opportunities, implementation choices, risks, and business impacts to senior leaders, functional partners, and field teams in a clear and actionable way.
• Support the future outage value stream operating model, in which value stream teams transform and enable while segments and regions execute and sustain.
• Coach and influence cross-functional contributors to build execution discipline, standardization, constructive feedback, and continuous improvement across the outage organization.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Travel may be required.
