Job Description
RCS Staffing has an immediate need for a Modification Manager in Piketon, Ohio. This is a full-time, direct-hire assignment with our client. This position offers a competitive base salary, is bonus eligible, and includes a comprehensive benefits package with vacation and holidays.Overview of YOUR Role as a Modification Manager:
In this role, you will lead the full life-cycle delivery of facility and system modifications at a DOE-contracted nuclear energy facility operating in a highly regulated, safety-critical environment. You will be accountable for defining scope, managing design and construction activities, and guiding each modification through engineering change control to turnover and close-out. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role requiring demonstrated expertise in cost, schedule, risk, and configuration management — and a genuine commitment to nuclear-grade safety culture.
As a Modification Manager, YOU Will:
• Lead all stages of the Engineering Change and Modification process — from initiation, scoping, and design through installation, commissioning, turnover, and close-out — ensuring alignment with Engineering Change Control and Configuration Management procedures.
• Develop and maintain project baselines across scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and stakeholder registers; author project management plans, perform change control, and meet established performance objectives.
• Coordinate multidiscipline engineering teams, construction contractors, maintenance staff, and plant operations to ensure design packages, work plans, and field execution comply with applicable codes, standards, and nuclear quality requirements.
• Prepare and defend cost estimates, procurement packages, and forecasts; manage budgets and support negotiations with vendors and customers as required.
• Champion a nuclear-grade safety culture, perform hazard analyses, and participate in DOE/NRC audits; ensure modifications satisfy NQA-1, 10 CFR, OSHA, NFPA, and site licensing requirements.
• Provide clear, timely status reports, risk registers, and decision logs to senior management and external regulators; maintain project records in approved document-control systems.
• Lead constructability, operability, maintainability, and safety (COMS) reviews and coordinate outage or site-access schedules as required.
YOU Are the Ideal Modification Manager Candidate If You Have:
• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
• 5+ years of experience managing multidisciplinary engineering or plant-modification projects in nuclear, chemical processing, or similarly regulated industries.
• Demonstrated success controlling scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality, and configuration for capital or sustaining-plant modifications.
• Proficiency with integrated project controls tools such as Primavera P6 and MS Project.
• Strong interpersonal, negotiation, and written communication skills — you are comfortable presenting technical and financial data to executive and regulatory audiences.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a DOE "Q" level security clearance (required for this position).
It's a BONUS If You Have:
• An active DOE "Q" clearance or Top Secret clearance — candidates with an active clearance will be prioritized.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or equivalent credential (APM, IPMA).
• Experience leading COMS reviews and coordinating outage or site-access schedules in a nuclear or regulated process environment.
• Prior experience at a DOE site, nuclear facility, or similarly regulated federal energy program.
• Familiarity with uranium enrichment, chemical processing, or advanced nuclear fuel cycle operations.
