Reporting directly to the Chief Compliance Officer, this senior leader will play a pivotal role in shaping, operating, and continuously strengthening BWXT’s compliance capabilities across a highly regulated, mission‑driven federal contracting environment. This is a high‑visibility opportunity for a seasoned professional who thrives at the intersection of investigations, government expectations, and practical, business‑aligned compliance solutions. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in government investigations, enforcement, or regulatory oversight, particularly within federal contracting or in agencies such as DOJ, DOE, DOD, OIG, or similar national security and defense organizations. You will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and as an operational driver of an ethics and compliance program built to support a complex, technically sophisticated enterprise. Location Tysons Corner, VA Lynchburg, VA Charlotte, NC Tri-Cities / Eastern, TN

Remote work may be available for candidates with a demonstrated record of excellence in federal investigations, compliance, or enforcement, and whose experience strongly aligns with both the required and preferred qualifications. Key Responsibilities Serve as a strategic advisor and trusted deputy to the Chief Compliance Officer, taking ownership of high‑impact compliance matters and enterprise initiatives. Lead BWXT’s ethics and compliance investigation program, including intake, triage, planning, execution, findings, documentation, remediation, and appropriate escalation of significant matters. Establish and promote consistent, objective, and well‑documented investigative practices in collaboration with Legal, HR, IT, Internal Audit, Security, and other internal stakeholders. Personally lead and manage a docket of complex, sensitive investigations involving significant regulatory, operational, or reputational risk. Oversee ethics and compliance training and communications, ensuring engaging, risk‑based programming that strengthens BWXT’s culture of integrity. Develop, refine, and maintain compliance policies, controls, and procedures aligned with legal, regulatory, and government contracting requirements. Strengthen BWXT’s compliance posture as a federal contractor through effective internal reporting, monitoring, controls, and timely remediation processes. Support BWXT’s evaluation and handling of potential mandatory disclosures related to fraud, conflicts of interest, bribery or gratuities, overpayments, False Claims Act matters, and other areas governed by FAR and associated requirements. Partner with business and functional leaders to identify emerging compliance risks and develop practical, risk‑based mitigation strategies. Support periodic compliance risk assessments and leverage trends, investigation outcomes, employee concerns, and audit results to inform continuous program improvement. Develop and track compliance metrics and KPIs to assess program effectiveness and support reporting to senior leadership and the Board. Monitor evolving laws, regulations, enforcement priorities, and government expectations affecting federal contractors; recommend program enhancements as appropriate. Support assessments and benchmarking of the Ethics & Compliance program against government guidance and recognized industry practices. Required Qualifications Approximately 5 - 7 years of relevant professional experience in investigations, enforcement, oversight, ethics and compliance, or a closely related field. Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Security Clearance. Experience working for, advising, or investigating federal contractors, ideally in defense, nuclear, aerospace, energy, or similarly regulated environments. Working knowledge of DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs. Demonstrated expertise in investigative practices, including evidence gathering, interviewing, analysis, documentation, and findings development. Strong understanding of corporate ethics and compliance program principles and expectations. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex legal and regulatory issues. Proven judgment, discretion, and professionalism in handling sensitive and confidential matters. Ability to build productive, trust‑based relationships with senior leaders, attorneys, investigators, and employees across a complex enterprise. Preferred Additional Qualifications Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school. Prior federal government experience in investigative, enforcement, oversight, or regulatory roles—preferably within agencies responsible for national security or government contracting (DOJ, DOE, DOD, FBI, OIG, etc.). Experience investigating matters involving procurement fraud, False Claims Act risk, conflicts of interest, bribery or gratuities, labor charging, cost/pricing issues, significant overpayments, or other forms of government contracting misconduct. Experience evaluating or advising on mandatory disclosures to federal agencies or contracting officers. Working knowledge of U.S. export control laws and regulations, including EAR, ITAR, DOE 810, and NRC 110. What We Offer: Competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, and retirement plans. Flexible work schedules and paid time off to promote a healthy work-life balance. Professional development opportunities, including mentorship programs and sponsorship for continuing education. An inclusive atmosphere that celebrates new perspectives and supports collaboration between different generations.
