Last Energy is productizing a micro-modular nuclear plant and transforming the manufacturing process with the goal of delivering hundreds of installations per year by the end of the decade. Our organizational structure allows for "Swiss-Army knife contributors" who have the ability to fulfill various roles depending on the project type, their interest, expertise, and availability.  These functional divisions include:  (A) project owner, (B) subject matter expert / advisor, (C) individual contributor / design engineer, (D) research analyst or (E) external relationship manager.

We look for: • Insatiable appetite for learning • Strong teamwork and communication skills • Creativity and willingness to take on new challenges  • Extreme flexibility and open to "kill their darlings" • Discipline, thoroughness, and extreme focus when needed If this sounds like you, we'd love to chat!
