COMPANY OVERVIEW Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year. ROLE SUMMARY The Senior Modularization Engineer is a hands-on technical lead within Blue Energy’s owner’s engineering team, responsible for executing the day-to-day modularization and shop-fabrication scope for the a major Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power block. The role pairs with a Junior Modularization Engineer to run Blue Energy’s modularization studies — beginning with a Modularization & Fabrication Study being performed by a major fabricator who specializes in modular fabrication. The Senior Engineer is the steady hand on “the art of the possible”: grounding ambitious modularization concepts in fabrication, transport, and installation reality, and managing the substantial project-management scope that a multi-building modularization study carries. Where the Junior Engineer generates concepts and challenges convention, the Senior Engineer pressure-tests them, sequences the work, and ensures deliverables land on schedule and to Blue Energy’s
