Test Procedure (TP) Coordinator – Nuclear Turbine Controls Upgrade

EM is seeking an experienced Test Procedure (TP) Coordinator to support a high-visibility Turbine and MSR Controls Upgrade Project at a nuclear facility. This role is critical to safely and successfully executing Temporary Test Procedures (TTPs) as the plant replaces legacy turbine and moisture separator reheat control systems with a new Ovation Distributed Control System (DCS) platform.

The TTP Coordinator serves as a key technical liaison between Design Engineering, Scheduling, Operations, and Implementation teams, ensuring procedures are accurate, compliant, and executed with precision during the outage window.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Temporary Test Procedures
• • Review, validate, and refine TTPs supporting post-modification testing for the turbine and MSR controls upgrade.
  • Verify technical accuracy, completeness, and alignment with plant standards and nuclear procedures.
  • Partner with Design Engineering to resolve comments, corrections, and clarifications.
  • Lead tabletop reviews with engineering and operations to ensure clear, executable procedures.
• Coordinate Schedule & Outage Readiness
• • Provide planning input for TTP duration, dependencies, predecessors/successors, and sequence.
  • Work closely with Scheduling and project leadership to align procedure availability with outage milestones and resource plans.
• Support Operations & Risk Management
• • Assist in developing Infrequently Performed Test or Evolution (IPTE) documentation.
  • Support risk assessments and mitigation strategies tied to test execution.
  • Participate in pre-job briefs, safety reviews, and planning meetings.
• Lead During Outage Execution
• • Act as the primary facilitator for TTP execution during the outage.
  • Ensure the team understands prerequisites, hold points, and expected results.
  • Provide real-time coordination with engineering SMEs and operations to resolve issues while maintaining procedural integrity.
  • Maintain a strong field presence and reinforce nuclear safety culture and compliance at all times.

Project Snapshot

This role supports a major controls modernization on Unit 2 Main Turbine and Moisture Separator Reheater (MSR), including:

• Replacement of internals for Turbine Control System (TCS) cabinets and MSR control cabinets
• Installation of redundant LVDTs on throttle and governor valves
• Installation of redundant megawatt transducers
• Upgrades to Main Control Room panels, controls, and workstations

This is a high-impact project requiring strong attention to detail, nuclear safety focus, and disciplined execution.

What We’re Looking For

• Preferred: Former Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) license at a PWR
• Strong background in nuclear plant operations, testing, or outage execution
• Experience supporting or coordinating complex testing, modification, or startup activities
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, test procedures, and plant system documentation
• Excellent communication, leadership, and technical writing skills
• Willingness and ability to work extended hours (including 12-hour shifts) during outages
• Demonstrated commitment to nuclear safety culture and strict procedural compliance

Schedule & Compensation

• 12-hour shift commitment required during outage periods
• Per diem available for qualified non-local candidates
