About two months after he left the federal ranks, the former top Department of Energy official at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, S.C., joined Atkins in a new role the company created for him.
Jack Craig, who in February retired as manager of DOE’s Savannah River Site office after three years in that role and over three decades with the department, is now vice president of strategic programs for Atkins Nuclear Secured. Atkins, an active player on DOE contracts at the Hanford Site in Washington state and the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee, is owned by Montreal-based SNC-Lavalin.
In his new job, “Jack will assist in performance assurance of strategic contracts, governance of SNC-Lavalin’s Tier 1 portfolio for DOE and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), and be a major player in defining the company’s expansion strategy within the DOE marketplace,” the company said in a press release.
Michael Budney, a former U.S. Navy captain, replaced Craig as manager of the Savannah River Site.
