Nuclear Operations
You spent years mastering one of the most demanding technical disciplines in the world — nuclear operations. You stood watch, operated complex systems under pressure, and never compromised on safety. At NextEra Energy, the largest clean energy company in the world, we speak your language. Our 90-day SkillBridge program is built for candidates like you — giving you the time and hands-on experience needed to translate your military nuclear expertise into a rewarding civilian career before your transition is complete.
As an Auxiliary Operator, you'll be on the front lines of nuclear plant operations — exactly where your Navy Nuclear training prepared you to be. Working alongside experienced operators and under the guidance of senior shift supervision, you will: Operate and conduct surveillance on plant systems and equipment during assigned shifts. Coordinate with Control Operators and Shift Superintendents to maintain safe, efficient plant conditions. Monitor for abnormal conditions and communicate findings up the chain — just like you did on the boat. Perform equipment maintenance, housekeeping, and decontamination tasks as assigned. Participate in emergency drills, refueling evolutions, and outage support activities. Operate valves, respiratory protection equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, and firefighting/emergency rescue systems.
