Job Title Science/Engineering Program Manager 2
Location Los Alamos, NM, US
Organization Name ALDWP-NP
Minimum Salary 114700
Maximum Salary 191200
What You Will Do
This position is for a Science-Engineer Program Manager 2 (SCPM 2) within the Associate Laboratory Directorate for Weapons Production, Nuclear Productions Operations (ALDWP-NP), Nuclear Materials Management (NMM) Program Office. The NMM program at LANL is organized into three areas: compliance, oversight, and special projects. NMM implements DOE Order 410.2, Management of Nuclear Materials which provides the compliance requirements for the coordination of nuclear material management activities across the DOE/NNSA complex. The NMM program administers LANL's nuclear material inventory as a strategic asset for the execution of work across the breadth of the programmatic missions for the entire Laboratory. The NMM program also oversees special projects aimed at cutting-edge technology advancements to improve nuclear material management.
The program office works with nuclear material owners across the Laboratory to ensure that there is a plan for all material, including a determined use and a disposition pathway. With material storage space at a premium, LANL is dependent on the comprehensive management of all nuclear material so that there is adequate space for storage and staging. Critical missions require nuclear material to complete their work. As the SCPM 2, you will work with the NMM Program Manager and the senior program managers within the program office to represent the objectives and goals of the program, perform data analysis to determine trends and identify issues, review and contribute to the development of procedures for nuclear material owners, and participate in the strategic planning and execution of actions to meet customer needs.
Your work will include managing scope, schedule, and budget of specific work packages as assigned by the NMM program Manager. Once the work packages are approved by the Senior Program Managers, you will be responsible for developing or refining work packages and authorizing work. You may be called upon to represent the program and the Program Manager at meetings and presentations. You will contribute to required reports and assist the Senior Program Managers with the management of developing issues and risk mitigation.
Specifically, you will be responsible for:
The selected individual will assist with the strategic and tactical planning for the execution of a portfolio which consists of multiple, highly complex, technically driven activities requiring integration across multiple organizations and disciplines. The SCPM 2 will assist in the development and maintenance of execution/implementation plans; work with programs, projects, and line organizations to ensure performance, monitor and track cost, schedule, and progress against milestones; possess an intermediate knowledge of the relevant technical discipline and understand and adhere to all Laboratory and regulatory guidance and governance.
