About the role
The Nuclear Company is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Nuclear Training Specialist to join our Regulatory Affairs & Training team in Columbia, South Carolina. The Senior Nuclear Training Specialist designs, develops, and delivers performance-based training and qualification programs across TNC’s training organization — spanning internal compliance and technical qualification, project and site support, leadership and onboarding, and client-facing services delivery. The role applies the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) to build programs that satisfy regulatory and industry standards while scaling to fleet deployment, and contributes directly to TNC’s commercial training offerings for domestic and international clients. This is a builder’s role. You will create qualification standards, curricula, examinations, and program infrastructure where none exists — and you will do it at startup speed with nuclear-grade rigor.
What you'll bring
- 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.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, education, or a related field, or equivalent commercial nuclear power experience.
- 7+ years of progressive experience in commercial nuclear training, including program development under the Systematic Approach to Training.
- Working knowledge of the regulatory and industry framework governing nuclear training: 10 CFR 50.120, 10 CFR Part 55, NUREG-1021, ANSI/ANS 3.1, and INPO ACAD accreditation objectives and criteria.
- Direct experience supporting INPO-accredited training programs (self-evaluation, accreditation renewal, or ACAD-based program builds).
- Demonstrated ability to develop qualification standards, examinations, and performance-based evaluation instruments from a blank page.
- Strong technical writing and stakeholder communication skills
- able to brief senior leadership and represent training in client-facing settings.
- Current or previous SRO license or SRO certification.
- AP1000 or nuclear new-build experience (construction, commissioning, or pre-operational readiness).
