What are the responsibilities and job description for the Radiation Control Technician - Nuclear Facilities position at Coastal International Security, Inc.?
We are seeking an experienced Radiation Control Technician (RCT) to provide radiological and operational health physics support across assigned facilities and high-hazard areas at Los Alamos National Laboratory. At this level, you'll work with a high degree of independence, applying your technical expertise across a wide range of radiological monitoring, emergency response, and compliance activities - while also mentoring and directing less experienced technicians in the field.
This is a mid-to-senior level role for an RCT who is fully proficient in their craft, comfortable operating with limited supervision, and ready to take on broader responsibility in one of the nation's most important nuclear research environments.

- Ensure compliance with radiation protection procedures and 10 CFR 835 requirements
- Respond to radiation-related emergencies and coordinate with health physicists on re-entry strategies
- Mentor and assist personnel in contamination control, exposure management, emergency response, radiation permitting, and procedural compliance
- Supervise and direct other technicians as needed during field assignments
- Support posting compliance, work permit reviews, and provide input on facility design as needed
- Wear required PPE including respiratory protection; lift and carry radiation monitoring equipment
- Perform duties outdoors and outside normal working hours as required
Required:
- Skilled and fully proficient in radiological monitoring and emergency response
- U.S. Citizenship
- Eligibility for DOE Q Clearance, including background investigation and DOE Order 426.2 compliance
- High school diploma plus 2-4 years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
Preferred:
- Broad understanding of health physics principles and related disciplines
- Strong judgment in radiological safety decision-making
- Experience training or mentoring others in RCT procedures
- Knowledge of interdependencies across health physics and operational functions
- Additional certifications, technical training, or coursework may be expected
- Subject to DOE Order 426.2 qualification requirements
