Quality Assurance Manager

Who we are!

Elementl Power Inc. is an advanced nuclear project developer and independent power producer, building scalable pathways for clean resilient energy. We break the stalemate in advanced nuclear deployment by delivering turnkey development, financing, and ownership solutions -- empowering customers to access nuclear power without the burden of operating assets.

The Opportunity

We're excited to add a Quality Assurance Manager to our growing team at Elementl. Reporting to the SVP, Licensing & Regulatory Affairs, this role leads the development and execution of our Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA) program across a portfolio of nuclear power plant (NPP) projects.

You'll serve as Elementl's Quality Assurance subject matter expert, shaping how quality is implemented in practice across engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction. This role sits at the center of project execution; working closely with the Chief Development Officer, project leadership, and functional teams to ensure quality is embedded from early site work through commissioning.

We're looking for a seasoned nuclear quality professional who understands what it takes to operationalize a compliant, effective QA program in a complex, multi-party environment. You bring deep familiarity with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B and NQA-1, and you know how to translate requirements into practical systems, oversight, and behaviors that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.
