Plutonium Technology Division Director

Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory stewarded by the DOE office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM), seeks a dynamic and visionary Division Director to lead the Plutonium Technology Division within the Weapons Production Technology (WPT) Directorate. WPT serves a critical role for National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Defense Programs missions. SRNL is the technical authority for developing, validating, and implementing tritium processing technologies to meet current and future stockpile needs. Similarly, WPT is engaged with engineering development and technology maturation efforts for plutonium processing activities in support of NNSA plutonium pit production and other emerging plutonium related Defense Program activities.

In this capacity, the Division Director works closely with the Associate Laboratory Director of WPT to lead the science and technology programs to: 1) establish a compelling vision complemented with a strategic execution plan, 2) strengthen stakeholder engagement and relationship management with major sponsors and production facilities, and 3) drive staff professional growth and development while creating organizational momentum that enhances our facilities and capabilities. The Division Director works with their leadership team and the Laboratory's operations staff to develop and execute priorities for facility operations and planning. Together with the other Division Directors, this position participates in institutional research and management initiatives, develops cross-cutting research proposals and initiatives, and fosters collaboration across SRNL and with partner universities and other institutions outside of SRNL.
