Nuclear Craft Supervisor

Aalo Atomics is pioneering a new era in clean energy with factory-fabricated microreactors designed to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. Our mission is to make nuclear energy globally accessible, starting with the Aalo-1, a 10 MWe reactor leveraging cutting-edge safety, modularity, and efficiency. Based in Austin, TX, we’re rapidly growing as we work to deploy the world’s first fleet of advanced microreactors. Join us and help revolutionize energy for a sustainable future.

Aalo Atomics is hiring a Nuclear Craft Supervisor to lead the field personnel performing maintenance, installation, modifications, and commissioning work at our Idaho facilities. You will support current facility needs and help build the craft capability required for Aalo-0 and Aalo-X.

We need a hands-on leader with strong nuclear work habits who can organize a crew, recognize when conditions have changed, and insist on correct execution. You will mentor personnel and establish the standards expected as our facilities transition into nuclear operations.
