• Develop and own a global portfolio of uprating, super uprating, and LTO offerings, spanning feasibility studies, implementation solutions, and long‑term support services.
• Expand beyond traditional License Renewal by defining LTO and SLR product offerings, including operation beyond 80 years. This includes aging and obsolescence mitigation strategies, long‑term asset management support, and phased investment approaches aligned with regulatory milestones, plant performance targets, and return‑on‑investment expectations.
• Identify opportunities to extend scope beyond traditional NSSS boundaries, including Balance of Plant, electrical systems, and plant‑level integration where relevant to uprating and long‑term operation programs.
• Own product roadmaps, lifecycle management, and business cases for assigned offerings, from concept through deployment and evolution.
• Drive New Product Introduction (NPI) initiatives with clear business objectives, customer value, and return‑on‑investment targets.
• Help develop integrated uprating and super uprating solutions that enable utilities to increase plant output while maintaining safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure uprating solutions are developed in direct connection with long‑term operation strategies, integrating aging management, inspection and replacement strategies, and investment timing to optimize plant performance and economic return under extended lifetimes.
• Incorporate customer considerations related to grid demand growth, data centers, hyperscalers, and revenue optimization into product definition and value messaging.
• Work with engineering and licensing teams to ensure offerings are technically feasible, licensable, and executable across different plant configurations and regulatory environments.
• Drive innovation across the full product lifecycle, from idea generation through New Product Introduction, to address evolving customer pain points associated with uprating, Subsequent License Renewal, and long‑term operation beyond 80 years.
• Collaborate with AI&I (R&D, Digital, Advanced Reactors & Fusion) to co‑develop technology bricks, analytical tools, and digital enablers applicable to uprating and LTO offerings.
• Support opportunities to leverage external or public funding and collaborative development where relevant.
• Ensure innovation activities translate into deployable, scalable, value‑adding products, rather than standalone technical developments.
• Leverage global product heatmaps to promote reference solutions to operating plants across ES regions, steer cross-region collaboration to ensure reference solutions are introduced and implemented for all applicable operating plants.
