January 5, 2025

Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse's mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

If this sounds like an environment you would thrive in, we have an exciting opportunity for a Nuclear Operations Intern. Please note, relocation assistance will not be provided for this position.

Overview

The Nuclear Operations (NucOps) team at Westinghouse is looking for the best of the next generation of Nuclear Professionals. NucOps is an industry leader for nuclear power plants worldwide with products and services supporting Control Room Operators and Reactor Engineers. Once you join us, you will be working simultaneously on the new generation of reactors like the AP300 SMR and eVinci microreactor, the new fleet of AP1000® and the operating fleet from all over the world. Building your skills based on actual operating plant experience combined with advanced plant design (AP1000s, SMRs and microreactors) will be a major differentiator and accelerator for your career in the nuclear industry.

NucOps has supported the commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry, and our group continues to play a vital role in plant operations today. About 70% of our members have qualified for reactor operator roles and you could be next! Our experience as reactor operators is key to defining and improving how nuclear power plants are run in control rooms worldwide. We also specialize in reactor core physics testing, where we have developed technologies like Dynamic Rod Worth Measurements and Subcritical Physics Testing, which ensure that the as-built core aligns with the modeled core. We offer an array of reactor engineering services, including training tomorrow's Station Nuclear Engineers, nuclear instrumentation diagnostics, fuel transfer and cask loading optimization, and much more. NucOps also leads the development and delivery of cutting-edge nuclear instrumentation technologies, such as the Vanadium Fixed Incore Instrumentation System. Innovation is part of the group's culture, and we are always looking for the next creative idea to assist operating plants. Your scope will include the operating fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios) and the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors), giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.
