Full Job Description

Job Summary:

If you like hands-on work, high-tech systems, and being at the heart of complex operations, this role was built for you. As an Operations Tech Specialist at Centrus Energy , you’ll help bring advanced manufacturing and plant systems to life—from installation and startup to daily operation and performance testing. You’ll work side-by-side with engineering, construction, and operations teams to ensure equipment runs safely, efficiently, and on schedule while supporting a mission that directly impacts the future of clean energy.

What You Will Do?

You’ll operate, monitor, and maintain production and support equipment to meet manufacturing and operational goals. This includes supporting equipment turnover from construction, assisting with startup and functional testing, adjusting systems manually and through computer controls, responding to alarms, and documenting operational activities. You’ll perform inspections, support procedure development, assist with select maintenance activities, and help ensure all operations meet safety, quality, security, and regulatory requirements—all while keeping systems running reliably across normal, off-normal, and emergency conditions.

We’d Love to Hear from People With:

An Associate of Science in Engineering or Physical Sciences,
OR completion of the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program,
OR equivalent technical experience with a high school diploma/GED.
3 or more years of plant operator experience within the last eight years in:
Chemical, nuclear, or power-generation industries
Critical infrastructure operations
Or similar technical military experience
The capability to work in required PPE (respirators, anti-Cs, electrical gear, etc.).

A Successful Candidate Brings:

Hands-on experience with equipment startup, system testing, and operational troubleshooting
Comfort responding to alarms and operating under structured safety and emergency procedures
A disciplined, safety-first mindset in radiological, chemical, and industrial environments
Already maintains a Q-level security clearance

Pay

Estimated Starting Base Salary Range: $54,299-$90,499. This position is Bonus eligible. Centrus considers several factors when extending job offers, including but not limited to candidates’ key skills, relevant work experience, and education/training/certifications. While the posted range reflects the anticipated hiring range for this position, compensation above the range may be considered for candidates with exceptional qualifications and directly relevant experience.

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.

This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test.

Centrus Energy and all subsidiaries shall abide by the applicable legal requirements. We prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.

This position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance. Candidates for positions requiring a security clearance are required to be tested for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4 prior to an offer of employment being made. In addition, once employed, employees will become part of a random drug testing program and may also be tested in the event of any incident causing injury or causing damage to property, or if it is determined that there is a reasonable suspicion the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This position will require preemployment background check on the part of the Company and in order to receive a Q security clearance, a background investigation by the Federal government. Subsequent Federal government reinvestigations may be required.

Centrus Energy Corp. is an Equal Opportunity Employer
