About the role
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a senior maintenance program engineer to join our engineering team.
Position Description
At Oklo, we are building advanced nuclear systems that require disciplined, scalable maintenance programs to support safe, reliable plant performance.
We are seeking an experienced senior maintenance program engineer to own and drive the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of fleet maintenance standards across Oklo facilities. The engineer will establish maintenance requirements, technical bases, work-management practices, and system data that can be applied consistently while accommodating justified site-specific needs.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of Facility Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Supply Chain, Training, Quality, and digital systems. You will provide maintenance program leadership, translate approved strategies into executable work, and use equipment performance and operating experience to improve the program over time.
Specific responsibilities may include:
Own and implement Oklo's fleet maintenance program framework for preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance.
Develop equipment maintenance strategies and technical bases using equipment functions, criticality, failure modes, vendor recommendations, engineering information, and operating experience.
Translate approved strategies into preventive-maintenance tasks, frequencies, acceptance criteria, job plans, procedures, and supporting documentation with clear technical traceability.
Establish standardized equipment and asset hierarchies, naming conventions, classifications, and maintenance master-data requirements; support configuration and data governance for computerized maintenance management and enterprise asset management systems.
Develop consistent work-management practices for work identification, screening, planning, scheduling, execution, post-maintenance testing, closeout, equipment history, and backlog management.
Lead implementation of fleet maintenance standards at Oklo facilities, including asset-data development, maintenance-plan loading, job-plan validation, readiness reviews, and controlled site-specific adaptations.
Monitor schedule compliance, backlog health, preventive-maintenance completion, repeat maintenance, rework, and equipment reliability; use results, failures, corrective actions, and operating experience to drive improvements.
Coordinate with Engineering, site teams, vendors, and Supply Chain on equipment bills of material, critical spares, stocking strategies, component availability, and obsolescence concerns.
Develop and maintain procedures, templates, job aids, training inputs, controlled program records, and equipment history while coordinating fleetwide implementation across Facility Operations and partner organizations.
Minimum Qualifications:
10+ years of experience in the nuclear industry.
Demonstrated experience in maintenance scheduling and in a maintenance leadership role.
Strong understanding of nuclear plant operations and the interfaces among Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, Training, and Supply Chain.
Experience developing, implementing, governing, or improving preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs.
Ability to develop defensible maintenance strategies and technical bases and translate them into executable work requirements.
Experience with computerized maintenance management or enterprise asset management systems, asset hierarchies, equipment history, and maintenance master data.
Strong technical writing, analytical, organizational, and cross-functional communication skills.
