Our client is a leading provider of technical workforce solutions and specialized services supporting complex projects across critical industries. With opportunities emerging across the nuclear energy sector, the organization is focused on expanding its capabilities to support next-generation nuclear development, engineering, and construction.

This is an opportunity to join an established organization and play a pivotal role in growing its nuclear services platform, developing strategic industry partnerships, and positioning the business for long-term success in a rapidly evolving energy market.

Our client is seeking an Executive Vice President of Nuclear Services to lead national growth initiatives across commercial nuclear services, new plant development, small modular reactors (SMRs), advanced nuclear technologies, national laboratories, and nuclear engineering services.
