GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC.

GE developed breakthrough light water technology in the mid-1950s called the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). Since that time, GE has developed nine evolutions of BWR technology, including the first operational advanced light water design in the world - ABWR - and culminating in its latest generation of design - ESBWR - which features an advanced safety design and new operational efficiencies.

GE currently has 56 plants operating worldwide with an operating capacity of over 50 GW. The 36 BWR plants in North America alone avoid the release of as much as 185 million tons of greenhouse gases each year.

GE has provided advanced and sophisticated technology for nuclear energy for over five decades. Four main product lines support this capability: New Reactors, Nuclear Fuel, Reactor Services and Performance Services.

Today, GE's nuclear energy business focuses on delivering clean, safe, reliable, and affordable electricity from new reactor technology; powering reactors with advanced nuclear fuel, designed to perform for optimal results; and providing reactor and performance services committed to customer service excellence.
GE is an equal opportunity employer, offering a great work environment, challenging career opportunities, professional training and competitive compensation.

The United States has regulations that govern the hiring of current or former U.S. Government employees.
