Job Description
The most urgent mandate of this role is building TNC’s operating organization before it is needed.
Key Responsibilities
- The Senior Vice President, Operations is TNC’s fleet-level owner of nuclear plant operations from fuel load through the full operating life of each facility. This is TNC’s first operations hire and one of the most important the company will make. The person who takes this role is not joining an existing operating organization — they are building it.
- TNC’s Build-Own-Operate model is only as credible as TNC’s operating capability. Investors, regulators, offtakers, and partners will assess TNC’s long-term viability based in large part on whether TNC can field a world-class operating organization. The SVP, Operations is the person who builds that organization — establishing the nuclear safety culture, the operating standards, the staffing model, and the regulatory posture that will govern TNC’s plants for decades.
- This role has two equally important mandates. The first is internal — build TNC’s operating organization, receive plants from the Deployment team at fuel load, and operate them safely, reliably, and efficiently over their full licensed life. The second is external — develop and deliver operational readiness services and planning support for partners and utilities who are building their own operating organizations or planning to operate their own facilities. These two mandates reinforce each other: TNC’s internal operating excellence is the proof point that makes the external services credible.
- TNC’s development-to-operations pipeline moves through three sequential phases. This role enters during the commissioning and fuel load phase — working alongside the SVP, Deployment during the handoff period — and then owns the plant from commercial operation through end of life. The fuel load handoff is not a single event; it is a managed transition with shared accountability and defined milestones.
- As TNC’s organizational structure matures and the company scales, reporting lines may be adjusted to reflect evolving business needs — the scope and accountabilities of this role are not contingent on any single reporting structure.
