Oak Ridge, United States Oak Ridge National Laboratory Full time

Requisition Id 12233

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, with an extraordinary 80-year history of solving the nation’s biggest problems. We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,200 people ORNL’s decadal vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL’s broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for the nation.

We are seeking a skilled Project Manager for the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) Upgrades Project Office to lead the Reactor Pressure Vessel Replacement (RPVR), a $700M+ DOE project that will enable long-term operations (LTO) of the reactor and enable significant scientific opportunities to the nation. The RPVR project is composed of equipment design, construction, procurement, assembly, installation, and commissioning as a DOE Hazard Category 1 Nuclear Facility.

HFIR provides one of the highest steady-state neutron fluxes of any research reactor in the world. The thermal and cold neutrons produced by HFIR are used for research into the fundamental properties of materials, including biological and engineered materials, enabling researchers to make scientific discoveries and address some of the biggest challenges facing society today. Completed in 1965 and operating at 85 MW, HFIR is the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the United States and is home to neutron scattering research facilities used for fundamental and applied research on the structure and dynamics of matter.

ORNL is preparing to replace HFIR’s pressure vessel, along with other key reactor core components, to sustain and enhance HFIR’s operational performance. This exciting project will enable ORNL to continue providing the Office of Science with essential isotopes production and research and development to meet the ever-growing demands of the United States’ research, medical and national defense needs. Ensuring long-term operations of this critical asset is thus essential to continued U.S. competitiveness.

**Purpose**:
The Project Manager works with the HFIR Upgrades Project Office Director to provide management oversight of the RPVR technical systems, ensuring that scope, budget, and schedule performance objectives are achieved on time and within budget, in a safe and environmentally compliant manner.

**Job Duties and Responsibilities**:

- Forms, motivates, and manages a diverse, integrated project team to deliver the project on budget, on schedule, and within scope.
- Works closely with Research Reactors Division (RRD), Neutron Scattering Division (NSD), and the Neutron Technologies Division (NTD) in the Neutron Sciences Directorate (NScD) to ensure the successful execution of the project scope.
- Identifies and defines the project scope and is responsible for managing the project work breakdown structure, schedule, cost estimates, actual costs, risk register & risk analyses, earned value reporting and baseline change control.
- Establishes project-specific management policies, procedures, standards, and training that conform to DOE, ORNL, and UT-Battelle best practices which direct and guide the successful planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closeout of the project.
- Leads communicating and reporting project status and performance information to project stakeholders, ORNL staff members and collaborators.
- Leads interface with major construction project stakeholders: DOE; Engineering, Procurement, and Construction firms; support contractors; and research and development groups. Also leads the project in preparing and executing various internal and external performance reviews.
- Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility by fostering a respectful workplace - in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success.

**Basic Qualifications**:

- A BS/BA degree in Science, Engineering, Project Management, or other related field.
