Head of Technical Integration

Company Overview

Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.

Role Summary

The Head of Technical Integration is the accountable Technical Authority for Blue Energy's portfolio of EPC and engineering services contracts, ensuring deliverables conform to contractual terms, the owner's requirements, and applicable codes and standards. While each contract's Owner's Technical Director holds technical assurance for that contract, this role ensures assurance is consistently defined and enforced portfolio-wide — owning the engineering SOPs, policies, and assurance frameworks that govern how work is executed and verified, distinct from the Design Authority's ownership of the owner's requirements.

The role monitors portfolio-wide compliance, drives root cause analysis and corrective action, and owns technical interface management between suppliers and the owner. It is embedded in design reviews, partners with Quality on nuclear safety-related deliverables, leads technical evaluation of Change Orders, and — once commissioning begins — monitors and negotiates supplier performance guarantees. Reporting to the Engineering Director (or VP of Engineering), the role holds authority over technical assurance standards and leads a technical integration team

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Authority & Assurance — Serve as accountable Technical Authority for the portfolio, providing independent assurance that deliverables conform to requirements, baseline, and codes/standards; serve as the point of escalation for cross-contract technical issues; confirm review rigor matches safety classification and risk.

• Engineering Standards, Codes & Procedures Governance — Own and maintain engineering SOPs, policies, and the codes/standards register (ASME BPVC Section III, ASME NQA-1, ASME B31, IEEE, ANSI, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B); govern requirements management, technical baseline control, and design verification/validation (V&V) standards.
