Nuclear Operations Intern - Spain

Overview

The Nuclear Operations (NucOps) team at Westinghouse is looking for the best of the next generation of Nuclear Professionals. NucOps is an industry leader for nuclear power plants worldwide with products and services supporting Control Room Operators and Reactor Engineers. Once you join us, you will be working simultaneously on the new generation of reactors like the AP300 SMR and eVinci microreactor, the new fleet of AP1000® and the operating fleet from all over the world. Building your skills based on actual operating plant experience combined with advanced plant design (AP1000s, SMRs and microreactors) will be a major differentiator and accelerator for your career in the nuclear industry.

NucOps has supported the commissioning of PWRs since the beginning of the commercial nuclear power industry, and our group continues to play a vital role in plant operations today. About 70% of our members have qualified for reactor operator roles and you could be next! Our experience as reactor operators is key to defining and improving how nuclear power plants are run in control rooms worldwide. Your scope will include defining how the next generation of nuclear plants (SMR and microreactors) will be operated and improving the way control room operators run the operating nuclear fleet (integrating operating experience and new scenarios), therefore giving you learning and development opportunities in both worlds.
