What are the responsibilities and job description for the Nuclear Outage Materials Planner position at Westinghouse Electric - USA?
Be the point person who keeps critical materials moving
Location: Bridgman, MI (onsite) | Engagement: Contract, long-term
Imagine starting your day on-site at a nuclear energy facility in Bridgman, MI. By 8 a.m., you've verified that parts for prefab and testing are staged, validated exceptions on the inventory report, and flagged a long-lead component the outage team must know about today. By afternoon, you've closed out a Maximo Engineering Request for a new item, aligned purchase requisitions with the right approvers, and joined a hit-team session to troubleshoot a sourcing roadblock. That's a typical rhythm for our Nuclear Outage Materials Planner—work that directly supports Westinghouse's mission to deliver clean energy solutions.
