Must Haves:
• Standard Design Quals (REQUIRED)
• We need folks with utility side design quals, from utilities that have INPO accredited Training and Qualification programs.
• IF they don’t have nuclear utility design quals we can transfer, we just cannot use them. Under our procedures, we MUST have (paper) qualified engineers to perform reviews of design packages.

• Need strategic thinkers and spec writers; can’t do that without experience
• Spec writing, technical writing, engineering writing
• Experience with design change process; standard qualifications for design changes
• Emerson Ovation – tons of people outside of nuclear have this experience and we are willing to entertain those people
• Can be difficult to attract people to nuclear because of the documentation so we may have to dip outside of the nuclear well to find people – chemical or mechanical backgrounds
