Construction Manager 3 (not available title in FG), repeat of previous hires done in years past to supply construction resources to TA-55 ALDPI in reconfiguration of PF4, previous nuclear power plant or TA-55 experience, all facets of construction and demolition, just started 24/7 operations so 4 shifts available (Tues – Fri days, Tues – Fri graveyard, Fri – Mon days, Fri – Mon graveyard)
Experience within nuclear industry – any other industries that may cross over well? A: oil and gas, general construction, remediation, other DoE site experience, have seen some Navy nuclear techs that worked well in the past
Definitely need EVMS? A: at this level as a construction manager, other than basic project management fundamentals it isn’t heavily expected, just basic daily progress reporting, basic EVMS/project management understanding should suffice
Electrical, structural, civil, mechanical engineering? A: no specifics, any combo is great, tends to be more electrical/mechanical, structural piping/structural steel focus, someone from a purely civil background (roads and bridges) likely not a good fit unless they are used to making entire buildings
