Incident & Claims Management: Oversee incident investigations, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, regulatory reporting, workers’ compensation claims, and return-to-work programs. Ensure lessons learned are shared and applied across the organization.
Operational Integration: Partner with Operations, Engineering, Construction, and Project Management to embed HSE into project planning and execution across nuclear construction, manufacturing, fleet deployment, and field services. Maintain a visible presence at project and customer sites.
