Valar Atomics Inc.
We are looking for a skilled HPT to provide high-quality radiological support to our operations and maintenance teams. You won't just be a surveyor; you will be a partner in executing work safely. You will be responsible for characterizing hazards, implementing controls, and ensuring that every worker goes home safe.
What You’ll Do
Field Operations: Perform comprehensive radiological surveys (radiation, contamination, airborne) to characterize facility conditions.
Job Coverage: Provide continuous or intermittent coverage for radiological work, ensuring workers adhere to RWP requirements and stopping work when conditions change.
Control & Posting: Establish and maintain radiological postings and access controls. Manage the issue and return of dosimetry and PPE.
Instrumentation: Perform daily operability checks and routine maintenance on portable and fixed radiation detection instruments.
Emergency Response: Serve as a member of the emergency response team, providing rapid radiological assessment during off‑normal events.
Documentation: Generate accurate, legible, and detailed survey records and logs that stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
Who You Are
Vigilant: You have a questioning attitude and a keen eye for detail. You notice changes in the plant environment before they become problems.
Principled: You have the integrity to stop work when it’s unsafe, regardless of schedule pressure.
Hands‑On: You are comfortable working in the field, wearing PPE, and using tools.
Team Player: You work effectively with operations, maintenance, and engineering to get the job done safely.
Qualifications Required:
Education & Experience:
Associate’s degree (or higher) in Health Physics, Radiation Protection, or a related science. OR High School Diploma (or equivalent) AND documented completion of a formal, recognized HPT qualification program (e.g., U.S. Navy ELT, ANSI/ANS-3.1 commercial nuclear qualification, or DOE‑HDBK‑1122 program).
OR Current certification by the National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT).
Technical Proficiency: Proficiency in performing radiological surveys for alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation.
Proficiency in performing contamination (smear/swipe) surveys.
Proficiency in the operation of portable health physics instruments (ion chambers, GM frisker‑meters, air samplers).
Strong understanding of 10 CFR 835 principles (contamination control, posting, ALARA, RWPs).
Flexibility: Ability to relocate to Utah for operations with potential for travel to Headquarters in LA.
Preferred
DOE Experience: Previous experience at a Department of Energy facility or national laboratory.
Reactor Experience: Familiarity with reactor plant systems and radiological hazards.
Why Join Us
Mission‑Driven: Support the development of technology that changes the energy landscape.
Excellence: Work with a high‑caliber team that demands the best in safety and performance.
Culture: A collaborative environment where your expertise is respected and your contribution makes a tangible difference.
Growth: Competitive compensation, equity opportunities, and the chance to advance your career in a growing company.
