- Develop multi-year growth plans across DOE, NNSA, national laboratories, utilities, and emerging advanced reactor clients.
- Monitor market trends (policy, funding, regulatory, technology) to identify new opportunities and shape our solution offerings.
- Lead key client relationships at senior levels; act as a trusted advisor to U.S. federal, allied, and commercial clients worldwide.
Business Development & Capture
- Own revenue and profit growth targets for the Energy & Nuclear market.
- Partner with BD/capture teams to identify, qualify, and prioritize pursuits, with a focus on higher-margin, strategic work at planned capture rates.
- Oversee win strategies, teaming, pricing, and proposal development for major programs and IDIQs to ensure compelling offerings within the approved proposal budgets.
- Coordinate cross-market and cross-sector pursuits when nuclear or energy infrastructure is a core component.
P&L and Portfolio Management
- Deliver annual, quarterly, and monthly business performance metrics for the Energy & Nuclear portfolio, including, but not limited to, revenue, profit, margin, cash, and backlog.
- Maintain a balanced portfolio across planning/design, PM/CM, and construction/D-B offerings, using ES-wide service lines, in accordance with strategic plans.
- Actively manage risk profile, including regulatory, safety, environmental, and contractual risks.

- Oversee project delivery and intervene as necessary to resolve or escalate issues.
Talent & Culture
- Build and lead a high-performing market leadership and delivery teams (e.g., portfolio managers, client account leads, bid managers, and program & project directors/managers).
- Collaborate with ES-wide service lines to ensure sufficient and appropriately skilled and trained management and technical resources are available to successfully win and deliver nuclear and energy programs.
- Promote a culture of safety, integrity, and compliance, especially in nuclear and security-conscious environments.
- Support professional development, mentoring, and succession planning within the market.

- Residing in the Northern Virginia, DC, Maryland area to support our customers and facilities or willingness to travel up to 50% to project sites.
What Desired Skills You'll Bring:
- Advanced degree (MBA, MS in Engineering or related) or equivalent experience.
