Chemistry Control Lead

LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHEMISTRY CONTROL TECHNOLOGY FOR A MOLTEN SALT REACTOR
Do you become energised by doing something out of the ordinary and do you see yourself thrive in a start-up environment? Do you like using your skills to lead R&D activities which generate state of the art data needed to design a complex nuclear reactor? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

At Seaborg Technologies we are developing a nuclear power plant concept fundamentally different from what exists today. By bringing to market an advanced and innovative molten salt reactor we are making nuclear an inexpensive, sustainable, and scalable technology that can out-compete fossil fuels and revolutionise energy markets. The opportunity to make an impact on climate change and provide millions of people with cheap and accessible energy is what motivates all of us every day.

Creating innovation that can impact the world isn’t easy and it requires a truly diverse group of people with the best of what humanity can offer. We know that we cannot do this alone, so we work closely with regulators, shipyards, academic institutions, and the nuclear industry all over the world to develop and identify needed technologies and materials so we can produce an advanced floating nuclear power plant.

This is your chance to become part of a collaborative research environment where you can chart an uncommonly diverse career and help change the world.

The start-up environment allows for great influence, the possibility to take on responsibility and grow but also demands flexibility.

THE ROLE
The Chemistry Control Lead provides technical leadership and is responsible for driving the development of chemistry control technologies for use in the Seaborg Technologies Compact Molten Salt Reactor. This is achieved through planning, leading, and delegating R&D activities to increase organisational knowledge of relevant chemistry and engineering to increase the maturity of key technologies and support design decisions. As the Chemistry Control Lead you will be in a mission-critical role that is key to Seaborg’s design and R&D efforts and interfaces across the entire organisation.
