How to Apply for Manager, 3D Plant Data Information

at XENERGY

🏢 About XENERGY

XENERGY is pioneering next-generation nuclear technology with their Xe-100 small modular reactor program, focusing on making nuclear power safer, more affordable, and carbon-free. Unlike traditional nuclear companies, they're reinventing the industry with innovative reactor designs and modern engineering approaches, offering the chance to work on cutting-edge technology that addresses climate change.

About This Role

As Manager of 3D Plant Data Information, you'll lead the implementation and management of the SmartPlant environment for the Xe-100 program, ensuring all engineering data and 3D plant models meet program requirements. This role directly impacts the success of XENERGY's flagship reactor program by managing budgets, schedules, and resources for critical engineering data systems that support the entire design and construction process.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing SmartPlant environment progress against the Xe-100 program schedule, coordinating with WBS working groups to ensure their data requirements are being met, managing project risks and mitigation strategies, and working with HR on recruiting for specialized information management roles. You'll balance technical oversight of the 3D plant data systems with budget management and team coordination to keep the program on track.

🎯 Who XENERGY Is Looking For

  • Has 10+ years in nuclear power industry OR 15+ years in engineering organizations with experience managing complex engineering data systems
  • Possesses both technical expertise in SmartPlant/3D plant data environments AND strong project management skills for budget, schedule, and resource management
  • Demonstrates practical understanding of Systems Engineering processes as applied to nuclear plant design and construction
  • Has experience recruiting and managing technical teams for plant information management roles

📝 Tips for Applying to XENERGY

1

Quantify your experience with SmartPlant implementation - mention specific projects, budgets managed, and team sizes you've overseen

2

Highlight any experience with small modular reactors or next-generation nuclear technology, not just traditional nuclear plants

3

Demonstrate your understanding of how 3D plant data integrates with WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) in nuclear projects

4

Include specific examples of risk mitigation strategies you've developed for engineering data projects

5

Show how you've coordinated with HR for technical recruiting, especially for specialized roles like SmartPlant Administrators

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience implementing SmartPlant environments in nuclear or complex engineering projects', 'Examples of successfully managing budgets and schedules for engineering data systems projects', "How you've developed and implemented risk mitigation strategies for technical projects", "Your understanding of XENERGY's Xe-100 program and how 3D plant data supports its success"]
