  • Support occupational health programs
  • Assist with *OSHA recordability determinations* and incident documentation
  • Maintain *accurate, timely, and audit-ready medical records*
  • Ensure strict confidentiality of employee health information
  • Support return-to-work evaluations and follow-up care as needed
  • Apply advanced clinical assessment skills to evaluate complex or ambiguous workplace injuries and illnesses
  • Independently manage occupational health cases with minimal escalation, including modified duty and return-to-work planning

*Required

Qualifications

*

  • Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of assignment
  • Minimum 3 years of clinical nursing experience, with at least 2 years in an emergency
  • Ability to work 12-hour shifts (days or nights), 7 days per week for the duration of the outage (typically 3–4 weeks)
  • Department, ICU, or comparable acute care setting
  • Ability to pass nuclear background check, drug screening, and site clearance

*Preferred

Qualifications

*

  • Prior occupational health experience required (plant, industrial, or employer-based clinic setting strongly preferred)
  • Familiarity with OSHA guidelines and workplace injury/illness management
  • Knowledge of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) medical regulations

*Essential Job Functions (Physical Requirements):*

  • Ability to work extended shifts in a fast-paced, high-volume industrial environment, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Ability to stand, walk, and move throughout the facility for extended periods and respond to onsite medical needs
  • Ability to liftup to 25 pounds and perform basic physical movements such as bending, kneeling, and reaching
