Job Description:
Spectra Tech Inc. has immediate openings for Level 4 RCT's and
Level 3 RCT's at LANL. RCT 3 As a fully proficientradiation control
technician 3(RCT 3), provides radiological support at assigned
Laboratory sites in the areas of workplace surveillance and
analysis/interpretation of radiological data. In addition, provides
fully proficient operational health physics support in assigned
facility, function or area. Responsible for high-hazard
radiological jobs. Ensures compliance with radiation protection
activities, procedures and 10CFR835. Implements radiation
protection procedures and applies these to a wide range of
activities such as reviewing radiological work for proper controls,
posting and compliance with Laboratory requirements. Assists and
mentors employees in on-the-job training in the areas of: group
procedures for radiation monitoring, contamination control,
external exposure control and emergency response, radiation work
permits, and facility design. Interfaces with emergency personnel
or directly responds to an emergency situation involving radiation
or radioactive material. Works with health physicist to determining
appropriate re-entry requirements, directs as necessary other RCTs
in monitoring and dealing with contaminated personnel. The RCT 3
may be called upon on an as-needed basis to successfully assume
field management responsibility and direct the actions of other
technicians. Completing assignments requires following or adhering
to requirements, specifications, or procedures developed for the
task. Impact of work may affect an entire facility.
Consequence of error may include serious radiological safety
events, including injury to self or others, as well as
noncompliance with 10CFR835, with potential for Laboratory fines
under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act.
Work involves moderate physical demands, such as lifting and
carrying radiation protection instruments and wearing personal
protective equipment, including respiratory protection. Work may be
outdoors and may be scheduled at time other than regular work
hours.
RCT 3 is considered skilled/fully proficient. Incumbent applies
knowledge of the job, and Laboratory policies and principles to
complete a wide range of tasks. Has complete understanding and wide
application of technical principle, theories, and concepts in the
field. Also has general knowledge of other related disciplines.
Assignments are usually focused while working within established
priorities, procedures, processes, requirements or specifications.
Priorities and tasks are usually prescribed. Expected to provide
technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems.
Solutions are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent
with organization objectives. Impact of work is usually limited to
a well-defined area. Incumbent performs normal aspects of job with
little or no direct supervision. General instructions are given for
new assignments. Work is occasionally reviewed for soundness of
judgment, overall adequacy and accuracy. Some contributions for
original work are expected.
Education
Position typically requires a high school diploma and two years of
related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and
experience. At this level, additional training, certification,
and/or education may be desirable.
This position may be subject to DOE Order 426.2, Personnel
Selection, Training, and Qualification Requirements for DOE Nuclear
Facilities. This DOE Order establishes entry-level requirements to
ensure employees in the positions can successfully perform the
requirements of the job.
Additional Job Requirements
Current DOE Q Clearance preferred, ability to obtain Q Clearance
required
Current DOE RCT qualification preferred RCT 4 As a senior radiation
protection technician 4 (RCT 4), performs the full range of RCT
support activities and serves as the primary point of contact for
planning, coordination of resources, and ensuring resolution of
conflicting demands in highly dynamic and challenging conditions
that require ability as a strong tactical decision maker.
Assignments may be broad or narrowly focused, but usually require
contributions of substantial independent effort. Ensures that
radiological controls are correctly applied for radiological work,
including high-hazard radiological work, by serving as authorized
subject matter expert for development of radiological work control
packages (RWCPs). Provides coordination of work area resources as
needed to ensure safe and efficient operations. Fulfills customer
radiation protection requests while ensuring established RP-1
priorities are followed. Works effectively with customers and
supervision to resolve problems including elevation of issues
beyond the ability of the RCT 4 to resolve. Ability to anticipate
problems and handle unforeseen issues. May include technical
supervision responsibilities, but certainly includes responsibility
for providing technical leadership and review. Contributions of
technicians at this level are normally expected to be of sufficient
value to have some impact on the outcome of entire project or group
accomplishments. Through actions and words, demonstrates excellence
in safety and compliance to RCTs co-workers and customers.
Consequence of error may include serious radiological safety
events, including injury to self or others, as well as
noncompliance with 10CFR835, with potential for Laboratory fines
under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act.
Work involves moderate physical demands, such as lifting and
carrying radiation protection instruments and wearing personal
protective equipment, including respiratory protection. Work may be
outdoors and may be scheduled at time other than regular work
hours. Normally requires extensive experience in supporting
radiological activities and facilities and in applying operational
health physics to work.
RCT 4 is considered a senior-skilled level. Demonstrated skills and
knowledge beyond those expected to be found at Level 3. Applies
extensive knowledge and skills to complete specialized tasks and
has full knowledge of other related disciplines. Comprehensive
understanding of general and technical aspects of the job.
