Good morning to all, When I get done May 25th with Surry in Virginia I’ll be posting about the pros and cons from my perspective for working Turkey Point in Florida, Surry in Virginia, and Monticello in Minnesota as I worked those this spring. I’ll do the same for the fall plants. Hope everyone is well. Always feel free to hit me up if you have any questions. I’ll be talking with Eric Bartlett about a recruiting position shortly after. Lastly I plant to send a Grid invite to all of the techs I have in my contact list as I’ve been slacking on that and much more working to get through the outage season- hopefully many more contracting RP and Decon in the community this summer

I was finally able to get ahold of one of the Westinghouse recruiters. Tricia informed me that, at least for Decon, they will start opening the fall recruitment around the second week of May. I'm not sure if that is call back recruitment only or first timers. But in the mean time make sure you have a profile and applied to a decon position (any will do as far as I know) so that you're on their radar

Hello All, I'm in the process of training to become a junior RP tech with Westinghouse and would appreciate advice regarding reaching out and requesting work for outages in the fall, now that the fall 2026 outage schedule is available. Currently, I've been scheduled to take the FUN1 exam mid-May. My question is, when/how do I make the request to be scheduled for outages, and what should I expect? For instance, even though I'm not yet a jr RP tech, should I still proceed to request jr RP tech roles for the fall? Should I not expect to work RP this fall, given the timing, and simply request Decon roles for the time being, and then plan to request work in RP next spring? Or, should I hold off on requesting work at all until I have become task qualified (not sure about this last option, seems like a good way to miss work)? Additionally, when sending work requests to the recruiters, should I send one bulk email with all of my preferred outages and then CC all recruiters, or should I send a separate email for each outage preferences and only CC the recruiters assigned to that outage, per the outage list? Thank you in advance.

Good morning gang. There is a chance I may become an official recruiter for Westinghouse this summer- they need help bad and think I would be a great fit since my main skill sets are fast communication and coordination. This will be hugely helpful to anyone on the Grid. I will keep everyone posted on this.
