About the role The Nuclear Company is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented QA Engineer – Program & Project Delivery to join our Quality team in Columbia, South Carolina. The QA Engineer – Program & Project Delivery is the Quality Assurance team's generalist: a mid-career engineer who supports the Director of Quality Assurance across programs and projects in all four QA lanes — enterprise governance, supplier and partner assurance, program implementation, and quality services. The role turns the Director's priorities into finished work across program development, procedures, quality records and metrics, and assessment support, and provides quality support to new greenfield and brownfield deployment projects as they are authorized. The engineer works daily with the QA leads, the contract Lead Auditor, and counterparts in Engineering, Procurement, Project Management, Construction, and Licensing. The position offers unusually broad exposure for a mid-career QA professional, with a defined growth path toward senior lead roles as the organization scales.

Maintain quality records and objective-evidence practices so the program remains complete, retrievable, and audit-ready. Establish and report QA metrics, trends, and program status that support leadership decision-making. Support internal and supplier assessments, audits, and surveillances, including follow-up of findings through corrective action (assessment conclusions remain with qualified auditors). Provide cross-program QA support to supplier assurance, program implementation, and quality services as priorities require working-level supplier and contractor contact in coordination with the Supplier & Partner Quality Lead. Coordinate QA actions, interfaces, and commitments across Engineering, Procurement, PMO, Construction, Services, and Licensing. Experience 5+ years in quality assurance (typically 5–10), including 3+ years working under ASME NQA-1 and/or 10 CFR 50 Appendix B programs. Strong technical writing — procedures, reports, and records that survive review with minimal rework. Demonstrated generalist range: hands-on work in at least two QA functions (procedures / document control, records, audits, supplier quality, project quality, or corrective action). Highly organized and self-managing — takes a loosely defined ask and returns finished, accurate work; strong EDMS and Microsoft Office proficiency. Bachelor's degree in engineering or a technical discipline, or equivalent quality assurance experience. Preferred Experience supporting nuclear plant design, construction, or commissioning (AP1000, SMR/MMR, or other new-build programs). Audit team participation or auditor training; ASQ CQA earned or in progress; NQA-1 Lead Auditor certification (past or present). Corrective-action program / operating-experience exposure; metrics or dashboard tools (Excel, Power BI). Familiarity with ISO 9001 / ISO 19443; ERP / MES systems and standard quality tools; exposure to startup or first-of-a-kind environments. Interest in qualifying as a lead auditor or growing into a senior lead role as the team scales. Benefits Competitive compensation packages 401k with company match Medical, dental, vision plans Generous vacation policy, plus holidays Estimated Starting Salary Range The estimated starting salary range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000 annually less applicable withholdings and deductions, paid on a semi-monthly basis.
