DOE?s Carlsbad Office Undergoes Reorganization

The Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office is undergoing a reorganization that will include a focus on contractor oversight, a DOE official said Friday at the RadWaste Summit. The Carlsbad office will be split into two major areas: oversight and program management, according to DOE CBFO’s J.R. Stroble, director of the national TRU program. “The key point behind that change is to put the oversight portion of our organization all under one assistant manager and to focus their attention on oversight of the contractor and their activities,” he said. “The program management part is really just everything else that doesn’t fit completely under oversight, and it also will have some oversight components to it.”

 

The office is also now adding “a lot of staff,” Stroble said. “We have several new postings that have gone out in the last few weeks and a few more to come,” he said. “We have restructured our organization and are working under a new organization chart.”
