Last Energy is a nuclear energy company that designs, builds, owns, and operates small modular reactors (SMRs) for industrial and commercial customers. The company's flagship product, the PWR-20, is a 20 MWe pressurized water reactor that is fully modular and factory-produced, enabling faster and more cost-effective deployment than traditional nuclear power plants. Last Energy serves as a behind-the-meter independent power producer, supplying reliable baseload electricity to energy-intensive industries including data centers, metals production, food and beverage, pulp and paper, chemicals, and cement manufacturing.
The company's mission centers on making nuclear power radically simpler and more accessible by removing the burden of development, financing, and operations from customers through a power purchase agreement model. This approach aligns nuclear energy deployment with the urgent need for resilient, low-carbon power, particularly as demand from AI infrastructure and industrial growth accelerates. Last Energy's use of proven reactor technology combined with proprietary steel containment systems is designed to streamline licensing and reduce construction timelines.
Last Energy represents a new generation of nuclear developers focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial sectors with firm, emissions-free power. By standardizing and modularizing the entire plant through factory manufacturing, the company aims to bring predictable costs and schedules to a sector historically challenged by both, positioning SMRs as a practical climate solution at commercial scale.
Last Energy is seeking a Receiving & Inspection Technician to perform incoming inspection and receiving support for components, materials, and equipment. This is a hands-on, floor-based role at the front end of our quality system: you will be the first checkpoint ensuring that what comes through our dock matches what our engineers specified.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
Perform receiving inspection on incoming parts, raw materials, and equipment against purchase orders, drawings, and specifications
Use standard inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges, and basic CMM support) to verify dimensional and visual conformance
Verify and record certifications, material test reports, heat/lot numbers, and other traceability documentation for nuclear-grade materials
Identify, tag, and document nonconforming material, and route it through the nonconformance process
Maintain accurate receiving and inspection records in the ERP/MRP system
Stage, label, and kit inspected materials for release to manufacturing, stores, or quarantine
Coordinate with Procurement and Supplier Quality on receiving discrepancies, shortages, and damaged shipments
Support cycle counts, inventory accuracy checks, and basic warehouse organization (5S)
Escalate recurring supplier quality issues to the Quality & Engineering teams
Qualifications
Degree preferred, not required
1-3 years of experience in receiving inspection, quality control, or a manufacturing/warehouse/startup environment
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, purchase orders, and basic GD&T callouts
Working knowledge of standard inspection equipment (calipers, micrometers, height gauges)
Comfort with ERP/MRP systems and basic data entry
Extemely high attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership over documentation accuracy
Ability to lift and move materials as part of routine receiving and staging work
Experience in a highly regulated manufacturing environment is a plus
