Southern Company Work Values

Daily Duties at Southern Company:

I oversee a matrixed (Owner and Contractor) organization of engineers that develop engineering reports and regulatory (NRC) letters that demonstrate that the Acceptance Criteria has been met and the Design Commitment has been upheld as described in 10 CFR 52. Engineering reports are challenged technically from a First Of A Kind perspective, as well as the regulatory letters submitted NRC. I actively engage NRC at least once per month in informal setting to discuss schedule for inspections and plans for reports, and participate on a quarterly basis (more formal) to explain how the reports will be assembled and what certain reports will include. I have led the development of specific oversight plans that guide the construction oversight or supplier oversight departments in the review of attributes specific to verifying that Design Commitments in the UFSAR will be upheld during construction or component fabrication. I directed the creation of a schedule in Primavera P6 to address departmental issues associated with lack of accountability, resource over-allocation, and lack of consistency. I actively participate in all staffing efforts for the department to ensure we hire candidates that fit our team best, and that we don't just hire those that have the best resumes. I conduct a one-on-one with each person in my group 2 times per month to understand their challenges and make sure that the workload is sustainable. I conduct staff meetings with all present once per week to discuss important project topics including, but not limited to, personnel/industrial safety, nuclear safety, human performance, due dates for and/or re-assignments of open/action items, corrective action program items, major project milestones, supplier compliance issues, construction issues, regulatory affairs issues, etc. I previously managed groups in nuclear island construction oversight and metrics.

What they like about Southern Company:

Organizations with strong, centralized leadership are particularly attractive to you. You require a work environment with leadership that aggressively seeks to expand and grow the business and does so in a visible and decisive manner. In general you prefer to work in an environment in which there is a strong link between leadership, its actions, and a strong set of company-wide values.
