  • Collaborating with other regulatory bodies and various government security and intelligence agencies, coordinating responses to significant cyber security incidents.
  • Representing ONR at security-related events and meetings organized by international and national organizations.

Continuous training will be provided to enhance knowledge and expertise in nuclear, cyber security, information assurance, and regulatory matters throughout the successful candidate's career. Opportunities for advancement and promotion will be available as experience in nuclear security regulation grows.
