2. Position Summary
The Deputy Director of Nuclear Services leads complex client engagements and helps build the capabilities of EZARC Nuclear Solutions. This person is a senior technical resource and advisor to the Director, giving practical technical and strategic guidance on nuclear authorization, safety documentation, operational programs, and startup readiness.
The Deputy Director is second in command within the authority the Director delegates. The role keeps client support steady, including helping the Director's clients when the Director is unavailable, within the agreed scope.
Why This Role Matters
Nuclear clients trust us with work where the technical basis has to hold up to regulators, auditors, and the public. A strong Deputy Director gives clients a second senior voice they can rely on, lets the Director focus on growing the division, and connects nuclear requirements with the rest of EZARC's services, including Offsite Manufacturing and Modularization.
3. Reporting Structure and Decision Rights
