Project Development Engineer

Company Overview

Blue Energy's mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

Role Summary

The Project Development Engineer will support the technical and regulatory development of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) sites and their associated supporting infrastructure, including gas turbine systems that complement the nuclear BOP. The role spans site assessment, conceptual design, permitting, and interconnection planning, ensuring projects are technically feasible, cost-effective, and compliant.
