Responsibilities

As a Plant Operator at General Matter, you will operate and monitor our uranium enrichment systems, ensuring safe, reliable, and compliant operations. You'll work hands-on with cutting-edge enrichment equipment in a fast-paced R&D environment where you'll see systems being built and commissioned from the ground up. This is not a typical "legacy facility" operator role — you'll interface directly with engineers, chemists, and technical teams as we scale our operations, and your input and attention to detail will directly impact our ability to deliver low-cost nuclear fuel safely at scale. You'll work rotating shifts in a highly regulated, safety-first environment handling nuclear materials, and you'll be part of a mission to restore America's enrichment capacity and enable the nuclear Renaissance. If you're an industrial operator — whether from chemical plants, refineries, the Navy nuclear program, or other high-hazard operations — and you're looking for work with real mission and impact, we encourage you to apply.
