What this role is
Senior frontline manager overseeing a team of reactor engineers and technicians responsible for reactor physics analysis and plant thermal systems performance. At the Manager II (M2) level, the role owns an established team or sub-function, cross-project coordination and priorities, and drives group delivery and development. Manages a team; sometimes manages leads.
What this level does
- Leads a team of licensed reactor operators as Nuclear Unit Supervisor upon holding the SRO license, owning tactical shift outcomes for routine operations, testing, and emergency response
- Authorizes maintenance activities on units and changes in equipment or system operational status, and diagnoses the cause of system or unit abnormalities to direct corrective action
- Reviews and edits standard operating procedures and directs inspections or operations conducted outside the control room as necessary
- Coordinates fuel-element handling activities — preparation, transfer, loading, and unloading — across the shift team, ensuring radiological controls are maintained
- Partners with maintenance, radiation-protection, and engineering peers to align repair windows and clearances with plant operational status
- Knowledge applied
- Exercises SRO-licensed judgment within known operating factors to command a unit shift, edit procedures, and authorize maintenance status changes.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Makes judgments within known factors — diagnosing abnormality causes and selecting corrective actions from established options during the shift.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Cross-functional cooperation with maintenance, radiation-protection, and engineering peers to coordinate clearances and repairs.
- Typical experience
- SRO license plus 2–5 years leading operator crews or in specialist operating roles.
Skills at this level
- Reactor Operation and Control
- — Controls operations of nuclear reactor equipment and systems — positioning control rods and regulating flux level, reactor period, coolant temperature, and rate of power flow following standard procedures.
- Operations Monitoring
- — Watches gauges, dials, neutron and radiation detectors, and thermometers to confirm reactor systems are within normal running conditions and to assess output and generator-loading effects across the unit.
- Abnormality Diagnosis and Corrective Action
- — Responds to system or unit abnormalities by diagnosing the cause and recommending or directing corrective action, including implementing emergency procedures when radiation leaks or off-normal conditions are detected.
- Lockout/Tagout and Clearance Authorization
- — Develops and authorizes lockouts, tagouts, or clearances to isolate and de-energize equipment so it can be safely repaired without compromising unit operational status.
- Nuclear Fuel Handling Oversight
- — Directs and controls nuclear fuel-element handling activities — preparation, transfer, loading, and unloading — while maintaining radiological controls.
- Radiological and Environmental Safety Compliance
- — Ensures reactor operations are conducted in accordance with policies and procedures that protect workers from radiation and safeguard environmental safety, and enforces these standards across operator crews.
- Operating Procedure Governance
- — Reviews, edits, and approves standard operating procedures for reactor operation, and directs inspections or operations performed outside the control room as required.
- Shift Command and Operator Supervision
- — Supervises reactor operators and technicians in routine plant operations — equipment testing, reactivity adjustment, start-up/shutdown, and emergency response — as authorized under an SRO license.
- NRC Licensing and Qualification Management
- — Maintains and advances NRC operator licensing and continuing-qualification requirements, and ensures operator crews sustain the training currency required to command reactor equipment.
- Critical Thinking
- — Weighs the pros and cons of alternative responses to operational problems to select the safest reactivity, isolation, or emergency action under time pressure.
