HP-IH Technician III
Role Overview
Are you passionate about keeping workplaces safe, healthy, and compliant—especially in high‐impact environments? Join our team in Oak Ridge, where your expertise will help safeguard personnel, maintain radiological and industrial hygiene integrity, and support critical operations within the uranium fuel cycle.
As a Health Physics / Industrial Hygiene Technician, you’ll play a hands-on role in monitoring, collecting, and analyzing environmental data related to both radioactive and non-radioactive hazards. You’ll apply the right tools, techniques, and knowledge to evaluate conditions, guide safe work practices, and ensure regulatory compliance. Your work directly supports the protection of people, the environment, and mission success.
What You Will Be Doing
In this role, you’ll conduct a wide range of radiological and industrial hygiene surveys to evaluate workplace conditions, support safe job planning, and verify regulatory compliance. You’ll gather and interpret environmental data, convert radiological readings into meaningful protection units, and respond quickly when conditions fall outside safety limits. You’ll maintain and calibrate HP/IH instruments, implement program procedures, review work documents for hazard considerations, and occasionally support extended or shift work. You will also provide training and technical guidance to colleagues and site personnel to strengthen overall Health Physics and Industrial Hygiene performance.
We’d Love to Hear from Candidates With
An associate’s degree in industrial Hygiene, Safety and Health, Biological Sciences, or Physical Sciences
Accredited HP/IH training or certification (DOE core, INPO program), or active NRRPT registration
Four or more years of hands-on Health Physics or Industrial Hygiene experience in a uranium facility (enrichment, fuel fabrication, etc.)
The ability to obtain and maintain a “Q” level security clearance
Pay
Estimated Starting Base Salary Range: $54,299-90,499. This position is Incentive eligible. Centrus considers several factors when extending job offers, including but not limited to candidates’ key skills, relevant work experience, and education/training/certifications. While the posted range reflects the anticipated hiring range for this position, compensation above the range may be considered for candidates with exceptional qualifications and directly relevant experience.
In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test.
Centrus Energy and all subsidiaries shall abide by the applicable legal requirements. We prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.
This position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance. Candidates for positions requiring a security clearance are required to be tested for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4 prior to an offer of employment being made. In addition, once employed, employees will become part of a random drug testing program and may also be tested in the event of any incident causing injury or causing damage to property, or if it is determined that there is a reasonable suspicion the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This position will require preemployment background check on the part of the Company and in order to receive a Q security clearance, a background investigation by the Federal government. Subsequent Federal government reinvestigations may be required.
