Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a hybrid of SQA program ownership and technical/procedure writing in a nuclear regulatory environment — it sits between 15-1253 (Software QA) and 15-1211 (Systems Analyst); 15-1253 was chosen as primary because SQA program ownership and software lifecycle compliance are the dominant activities.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent nuclear industry experience' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
The posting references Charlotte, NC in the staffing reference line ('Ref: #161-Managed Staffing Charlotte'), but the role is fully remote; Charlotte is used as the best available location anchor.
Experience with 'smart procedures or electronic procedure tools' is explicitly called out as 'a plus' and is treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): ASME NQA-1-2022, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Electronic Document Management Systems.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
