We are looking for a skilled HPT to provide high-quality radiological support to our operations and maintenance teams. You won't just be a surveyor; you will be a partner in executing work safely. You will be responsible for characterizing hazards, implementing controls, and ensuring that every worker goes home safe.

What You’ll Do

• Field Operations: Perform comprehensive radiological surveys (radiation, contamination, airborne) to characterize facility conditions.
• Job Coverage: Provide continuous or intermittent coverage for radiological work, ensuring workers adhere to RWP requirements and stopping work when conditions change.
• Control & Posting: Establish and maintain radiological postings and access controls. Manage the issue and return of dosimetry and PPE.
• Instrumentation: Perform daily operability checks and routine maintenance on portable and fixed radiation detection instruments.
• Emergency Response: Serve as a member of the emergency response team, providing rapid radiological assessment during off-normal events.
• Documentation: Generate accurate, legible, and detailed survey records and logs that stand up to regulatory scrutiny.

Who You Are

• Vigilant: You have a questioning attitude and a keen eye for detail. You notice changes in the plant environment before they become problems.
• Principled: You have the integrity to stop work when it's unsafe, regardless of schedule pressure.
• Hands-On: You are comfortable working in the field, wearing PPE, and using tools.
• Team Player: You work effectively with operations, maintenance, and engineering to get the job done safely.

Qualifications
