Configuration Management Manager

Configuration Management Manager

SHINE Technologies is seeking a Configuration Management Manager to own configuration management for the design and construction of a first-of-a-kind nuclear medical isotope production facility. This role ensures the design basis remains internally consistent, that the design basis and licensing basis stay aligned as the design evolves, and that changes flow through disciplined processes from engineering through procurement and construction. The team, including an Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) coordinator and technical writer reporting to the Configuration Control and Engineering Manager, owns configuration control tools including the master equipment list, the cable and raceway database, and the engineering hold database, and develops new tools as needed. This role reports at a level with significant autonomy; the manager is expected to define the program's scope, build the plan, and execute it with minimal direction.

This is an on-site position at our headquarters in Janesville, Wisconsin.

The base salary range for this position is $123,000 - $150,000 per year plus a comprehensive compensation package. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

• Three (3) or more years of leadership or management experience
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously: identifying what needs to be done, building the plan, and executing without day-to-day direction
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and make timely decisions considering effects across facility design and operation
• Outstanding communication, conflict management, and change management skills

Preferences

• Familiarity with NRC regulatory framework and nuclear configuration management practices
• Experience with design and construction of nuclear or other complex industrial facilities
