Nuclear contractor UniTech Services Group, which provides laundry services for radioactive clothing in North America and Europe, has hired industry veteran Kevin Bumpus as business development manager for government accounts.
Bumpus has 36 years in the nuclear business, including management experience in facilities and operations, and helped support key U.S. Energy Department initiatives, the company said in a press release. Most recently, he worked as a facility manager for Tennessee-based Omega Technical Services, a provider of engineering and consulting services.
Bumpus had worked for Omega since 2015, which included postings as a facilities manager at DOE’s Oak Ridge Site in Tennessee and as a work control mentor at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also worked as a subcontract technical representative with Savannah River Remediation, liquid waste management contractor at the DOE Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
Bumpus joined UniTech last January but only recently fully assumed the newly created role of business development for the government sector, a company spokesman said. In his new job, Bumpus will work with UniTech’s regional sales executives to expand the company’s footprint in the DOE and Department of Defense sectors, the press release says.
UniTech serves the Energy Department’s Hanford Site in Washington state as well as all U.S. national laboratories with laundry services. In addition to radioactive laundry services, it also provides protective clothing, respirators, and other gear for nuclear clients. In 2016 it added low-level and mixed low-level radioactive waste management to its portfolio.
