At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) is seeking motivated and enthusiastic Safeguard Specialists to join our Global Nuclear Safeguards (GNS) team in sustaining WEC efforts to support the global nonproliferation regime and regulatory compliance.

The GNS Professional Development Program (PDP) program is a three-year program to train individuals in GNS roles related to domestic (state-level) and international (IAEA) nuclear material control and accounting (MC&A) requirements while supporting Global Operations Services Manufacturing at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) in South Carolina, US; Springfields Fuels Limited Facility (SFL) in Preston, UK; and the Westinghouse Electric Sweden (WSE) Fuel Manufacturing facility in Västerås, Sweden.

GNS fellows will have three, one-year rotations at two of the three locations around the world to learn and assist with day-to-day activities while completing the requirements of the PDP. GNS Fellows will be mentored by experienced MC&A professionals at the host facility and the Global Nuclear Safeguards group, including Material Control & Accounting subject matter experts. GNS Fellows will interact with chemical laboratory personnel, process engineers, chemical/mechanical operations personnel, and other stakeholders to learn about the facility and its operations and assist with the facility’s safeguards related programs and regulatory compliance requirements. The final PDP rotation for GNS Fellows will be working for a Westinghouse global corporate function to expand their overall skillset through leading efforts to enhance and modernize the safeguards and regulatory compliance programs at the facility of their permanent placement.
