Commissioning Manager (Janesville, WI)
Our client in Janesville is currently hiring a Commissioning Manager. The Commissioning Manager will independently lead and "own" the planning and execution of start-up activities for new nuclear isotopes production equipment at a facility in Janesville, WI. The first-of-a-kind NRC regulated nuclear facility is currently under construction, with construction testing activities in-progress. The Commissioning Manager will work to develop strategies and plans and coordinate activities to successfully complete all required testing and validation activities for the new facility, and transition the facility to regular operations.
They will ensure these systems are thoroughly tested, validated, and integrated with existing HVAC, electrical, and process infrastructure to meet NRC-regulated standards. Although the manager will not have a dedicated team, they will collaborate with existing engineering, construction, and quality teams as needed.
