Safety Manager Jobs

This role is in-person with some remote work.
Become a part of the leading Generation-IV nuclear plant development team.
Terrestrial Energy is developing for near-term commercial operation, a zero-emissions cogeneration plant for global industry using its proprietary Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) fission technology in an innovative, small and modular plant design. The IMSR is a non-Light Water Reactor of the Generation IV class that operates at the high temperature required for broad industrial relevance with transformative economic potential. The IMSR plant is capable of grid-based electric power generation and industrial cogeneration in many energy-intensive industries, including petrochemical and chemical synthesis for hydrogen and ammonia production. The IMSR plant offers a near 50 percent improvement in efficiency of electric power generation compared to Light Water Reactor nuclear plants. Its industrial cogeneration capability delivers to today’s markets industrial competitiveness, security of energy, and zero-emissions industrial production. The IMSR plant’s use of existing industrial materials, components, and fuels supports its near-term deployment, setting the stage for a rapid global decarbonization of the primary energy system. To execute this plan, we are now looking to add talented people to the team, each of whom will:

• Improve our team by adding diverse perspectives and innovative ways of problem solving
• Be a team player with the ability to collaborate closely and interact with other groups
• Have skillset and experience that relate to the following role:
• Have demonstrated exceptional results in engineering projects
• Be flexible and adaptable to change

The Safety Manager, under the direction of Senior Vice Present of Operations & Engineering, is responsible for leadership and management of the team of nuclear safety analysis professionals who develop the complete safety basis including iteration with design activities, and preparation, implementation and approving safety basis documentation n full compliance with national and international regulatory requirements.
Other responsibilities include:

• Ensure that all project activities are performed in accordance with applicable codes and standards and company quality assurance manuals.
• Collaborating with the managers in other disciplines, such as physics, thermal-hydraulics and mechanical to support safety related studies.
