Job DescriptionCompany Profile:Newport News Nuclear BWXT Los

consistently ranks as one of Livability.com's Best Small Towns in
America. For two years in a row, Los Alamos County has ranked as
the healthiest county in the nation according to a U.S. News
report. The city is a top spot for outdoor enthusiasts as it has
more than 120 hiking and biking trails, and residents enjoy easy
access to the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area. Thanks to the University
of New Mexico-Los Alamos' presence in the area, Los Alamos also has
a college-town vibe that's a major draw for young professionals,

contract to comply with the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force
Guidance concerning implementation of Executive Order 14043 on the
subject of vaccination against COVID-19. In October 2021, N3B
became subject to the Task Force mandate that all N3B employees are
required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 regardless of the
employee's duty location or work arrangement (e.g., telework,
remote work, etc.), subject to such exceptions as required by law
(a religious or medical exemption with reasonable accommodation).
In December 2021, that mandate was stayed by way of an action in
federal court. Therefore, at this time, N3B highly encourages, but
does not require employees to be vaccinated. However, in the event
that the federal mandate is re-imposed in the future, you will be
required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and submit documentation
of proof of vaccination unless you are approved for an exemption on
religious or medical grounds. The company will provide additional
information regarding what information or documentation will be
needed and how you can request of the company a legally required
exception from this requirement. Position Summary:This position
