• Ability to develop well-reasoned, technically sound policy solutions for complex decommissioning challenges
• Exceptional interpersonal, writing, and presentation skills
• Advanced degree in nuclear engineering, environmental engineering, or a related discipline

Preferred Experience:

• Prior experience as a regulator or technical advisor on nuclear matters
