Job Summary:
At Centrus Energy, quality isn’t just a checkbox—it’s the backbone of our mission. We are looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer ready to step into a high-visibility, three-year "tour of duty" in Greenville, SC, but the tour won’t stop there. This “tour of duty” will take you to some fabulous locations around Los Angeles, Denver, and Oak Ridge. Think of this as your professional launchpad: you’ll be our eyes and ears on the ground, ensuring the American Centrifuge Operating, LLC, contractors hit every mark of excellence. This isn't just a job; it's a strategic developmental assignment. Once you’ve mastered the oversight of this critical project in South Carolina, you’ll bring that elite expertise back to your home base in Piketon, OH or Oak Ridge, TN, where a guaranteed leadership-track role will be waiting for your return in 2029.
What You Will Do:
As our quality champion in Greenville, you’ll be an integral part of the oversight of the Fluor contract, ensuring every bolt, blueprint, and process meets the rigorous standards of the NRC, DOE, and our own QAPD. You’ll be the lead detective in internal and external audits, a mentor to onsite teams, and a strategic partner to Field Operations. From evaluating supplier quality to driving corrective actions and maintaining bulletproof QA records, you will ensure a safety-first, compliance-driven culture. While you'll be stationed in the Palmetto State, you’ll stay tethered to your home base through regular operational syncs, ensuring you’re ready to hit the ground running when you transition back to Ohio or Tennessee after your three-year victory lap.
We’d Love to Hear from People With:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quality, or another technical discipline or equivalent experience
- 5+ years of quality assurance experience in an NRC, DOE, military, or similarly regulated environment
- Demonstrated experience conducting audits, assessments, and supplier oversight
- Strong working knowledge of QA procedures, documentation, and corrective action processes
- Proficiency with standard business and reporting tools including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe
- Willingness to relocate to Greenville, SC for a 3-year term with a planned return to Piketon or Oak Ridge
- Ability to obtain (or already possess) a “Q” clearance
A Successful Candidate Brings:
- Prior experience at an NRC-regulated facility
- ASQ certifications and/or Lead NQA-1 Auditor certification
- Deep familiarity with NQA-1, DOE O 414.1D, and related NRC/DOE QA requirements
- Experience leading audits and corrective action programs in complex technical environments
- Military or defense-related quality experience
- Currently possesses a “Q” or “L” clearance
