Job Overview
Jensen Hughes is seeking mid-level (5 years) to senior-level Engineers with experience in Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) or Advanced Nuclear experience related to risk-based methods. In this role, you’ll partner with global leaders in the nuclear industry on projects that directly influence risk and reliability, plant safety, regulatory decision-making, and next-generation PRA techniques.
Our PRA team is based in West Chester, PA, but we know top talent isn’t confined by geography. Remote work is available for qualified candidates.
If you’re looking to deepen your expertise, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow in a collaborative environment, this is the place for you.
Responsibilities
You’ll have opportunities to contribute across a variety of areas, such as:
• PRA Modeling & Analysis – developing and enhancing PRA models for internal events, fire, seismic, and external hazards
• Risk-Informed Applications – supporting licensing and regulatory strategies that impact plant operations (e.g., RICT, 50.69, ILRT extensions)
• Tools & Innovation – applying online risk tools and exploring advanced methods, including optimization approaches
• Human Reliability & Accident Analysis – conducting HRA and evaluating severe accident scenarios
• Advanced Nuclear – supporting regulatory and risk initiatives for next-generation nuclear (e.g., NEI 18-04, LMP, ESP and siting)
• Client & Regulatory Support – providing consulting expertise, preparing regulatory submittals, and delivering solutions that improve safety and efficiency
( You don’t need to check every box. Experience in one or more PRA domains is a great foundation, and we’ll help you grow into new areas. )
Core Responsibilities
• Conduct PRA analyses, calculations, and risk-informed engineering evaluations
• Collaborate with colleagues and clients to deliver practical, innovative solutions
• Communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Mentor and support early-career engineers through knowledge-sharing and guidance
• Advise and interpret new and advanced nuclear regulations, methods, and approaches to support industry (e.g., NEI) and advanced nuclear vendor needs
• Contribute to business growth by building relations
