This isn't a monitoring role. It's a skilled, high-visibility position where your judgment directly protects workers, protects the facility, and keeps the mission moving. The base rate is $37–$43/hr depending on experience, and shift differential pay is available for qualifying assignments - bringing your total compensation meaningfully higher for non-standard hours. LANL is also one of the few facilities where RCT work directly intersects with weapons programs, nuclear materials processing, and classified operations. That experience has long-term career value that few other postings can match. WHAT YOU'LL DO
Provide radiological and operational health physics support across LANL facilities and high-hazard areas - including direct responsibility for high-hazard radiological jobs Conduct workplace surveillance, interpret radiological data, and ensure compliance with 10CFR835 and all applicable radiation protection procedures Review radiological work for proper controls, posting, and compliance with Laboratory requirements; provide design input for facility radiation protection Support and write Radiation Work Permits (RWPs); ensure accurate posting and procedural compliance across assigned areas Mentor and train junior RCTs in contamination control, external exposure control, emergency response, and procedural compliance - you set the standard Respond to radiological emergencies involving radiation or radioactive material; work directly with health physicists to determine re-entry requirements Direct other RCTs during field assignments and emergency situations as needed; assume field management responsibility on an as-needed basis
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required
S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a DOE Q Clearance High school diploma and 3+ years of RCT experience in a DOE, nuclear power, or equivalent regulated environment - or an equivalent combination of education and experience Strong working knowledge of 10CFR835, radiation work permits, ALARA principles, and radiological survey techniques Experience with radiological instrumentation, contamination control, and external exposure management Ability and willingness to work rotating shifts including nights, weekends, and non-standard hours Physical ability to meet job demands lift 50 lbs, carry 35 lbs, wear full PPE including respirators, work at heights up to 6 feet, perform stair and ladder climbing
Preferred
Current or prior experience at LANL, NNSA, or a DOE national laboratory facility Navy nuclear or military health physics technician background - highly valued Active DOE Core Card and/or National Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT) certification Experience with radiological emergency response and re-entry coordination Prior supervisory or field lead experience directing other RCTs Additional training, certification, or education in radiological sciences or health physics
COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE Base pay is $37–$43/hr commensurate with experience. Shift differential pay is available for qualifying non-standard shift assignments and is applied at manager discretion - experienced candidates working nights or weekends can expect their effective hourly rate to increase accordingly. This position provides 24/7 rotating coverage; specific shift assignments will be determined based on operational need.
