Nuclear business development consultant Jan Carlin has been named managing director of Waste Management Symposia.
In a press release Tuesday, the nonprofit organization touted Carlin’s “extensive technical and business-development experience across both the DOE Complex and the commercial nuclear industry.”
Carlin is director of business development for Wälischmiller Engineering GmbH, a Markdorf, Germany-based producer of remote-control technology and manipulators for the nuclear and chemical industries.
She began her career at Westinghouse Electric before founding and managing Rainmaker Environmental Options Consultants and Engineers for more than two decades, according to her LinkedIn profile. Carlin is also owner of Carlin Consulting Services.
Carlin replaces Jim Voss, who stepped down at the end of June after nearly 15 years as WMS managing director.
“I am looking forward to making a great organization of even more value to the industry, and a more significant voice in the public and policymaker discussions taking place around the world,” Carlin said in the release.
Waste Management Symposia organizes the Waste Management Conference, a major nuclear industry event held every March in Phoenix. The 2018 conference, scheduled for March 18-22, will focus on nuclear and industrial robotics, remote systems, and other developing technologies, according to the WMS website.
