Fact plan-011
Valar's public job board (read 29 September 2026; 92 openings, 86 first posted since June 2026) adds detail to loc-019. Torrance-listed roles (71): instrumentation and controls (19), eight 'Power Conversion' turbomachinery roles for a planned 'secondary loop Brayton cycle' (a gas turbine driven by reactor heat) with 'a purpose-built test facility program', manufacturing, machine and weld shops, graphite production, supply chain, licensing and legal. Orangeville roles (21): site operations (a Nuclear Operations Manager, a Nuclear Operations Engineer and Plant Operators who may work at 'the reactor plant or the pilot fuel fabrication facility'), fuels and materials (TRISO process and coating engineers, a nuclear material accountant), controls, QA, EH&S, HR, and a Development and Construction Finance Director whose job is cost tracking 'across active projects' and processes that 'scale across multiple construction sites'. A Project Manager, Commercial Projects (Torrance, 'operate in both Hawthorne and Utah') will 'lead development execution for one of Valar's first commercial projects' from site development to investment decision, asks applicants for experience on projects costing '$1B or more' (the post does not give this project's own cost), and will serve as a senior project representative in Utah with government and community; the post names no site. A Director of Licensing will run 'multiple concurrent licensing campaigns' across DOE and NRC pathways (safe-032). No posting mentions Carbon County, Wellington, Green River or any named future site, and none is located in Carbon County. The Power Conversion post says Valar's HTGR 'power conversion system will be built around' this turbine cycle, in the future tense; Ward 250's July electricity demonstration used a thermoelectric generator, not a turbine (ETV, 1 July; plan-010).
