Job description
Spectra Tech has an immediate need for a Technical Project Manager 4 (Project Controls) in Los Alamos, NM.

The Technical Project Manager (TPM) 4 is responsible for managing and ensuring timely completion of discrete technical project scope. This role manages technical requirements; defines and oversees project deliverables, budgets, schedules, and risks; while supporting and in most cases leads the project team in planning, tracking, and executing scope from initiation through turnover.

TPM 4 manages project related activities in alignment with prime contract and customer National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) requirements. Activities are organized into control accounts and subsequent work packages, which define tasks necessary to satisfy programmatic needs. TPM 4 reports to the Project Program Director and is responsible for day-to-day administrative and operational management within an assigned program area. This includes development, implementation, and evaluation of policies, procedures, and standards; determining program service levels and enhancements; assisting in the development and monitoring of program budgets; and providing technical guidance to project teams, support departments, and matrixed resources.

All scope managed by the TPM 4 is being performed within DOE Hazard Category 2, Security Classification 1 facility. Therefore, prior nuclear experience is required. Previous Department of Energy (DOE) or National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) experience managing D&D, construction, testing, and turnover in a nuclear environment is preferred.

Preferred qualifications include experience with Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS), such as serving as Control Account Manager or equivalent. Since the TPM 4 role primarily manages scope that is capital line item funded, prior experience working under DOE O 413.3B requirements is preferred, particularly experience with Critical Decisions (CDs) and participation in associated review processes such as the Technical Independent Project Review (TIPR), Independent Cost Estimate (ICE, External Independent Review (EIR), and Annual Project Review (APR). Additionally, due to the nuclear environment in which all TPM 4 scope is executed, candidates with experience in work control, hazard management, radiological or operational activities, and quality assurance are highly desirable. Experience resolving complex technical and regulatory issues such as Commercial Grade Dedication and Issues Management within an NQA 1 program is also preferred.

Experience and Education; requires a bachelors degree plus minimum 15 years related DOE nuclear experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
