Savannah River Nuclear Solutions CEO and leadership

Stuart Macvean is a Board Member at South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and President/CEO at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. He has worked as VP:Operations at FLUOR CORP and President/Project Manager at Savanah River Remediation LLC.

I serve as Senior Vice President, Chief Engineer, and Nuclear Safety Officer for Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), which manages and operates the Savannah River Site for the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration.

I am an accomplished executive and proven expert in leading large organizations and high performing teams.

At my core is a strong technical foundation encompassing a Systems Engineering degree from the Naval Academy, decades of nuclear engineering with the Navy Nuclear Power Program, and critical assignments either operating or ensuring the safe operation of nuclear plants. I also have formal business management training and earned an Executive Masters in Business Administration (MBA). As a leader underpinned by substantial technical experience, I have been highly effective in leading large organizations of up to 2,000 people, including two Submarine Commanding Officer assignments and a Submarine Squadron Commander assignment. Most recently, I served as the Director of Nuclear Test Engineering at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries.

My strengths include the ability to interact with people at all levels, assess what’s working and what’s not, get to the root of the issues, foster learning, identify and implement corrective actions, and then institutionalize these changes so they don’t just become short-lived “good ideas”. I am also an expert in strategic thinking, executive coaching, human factors, high-reliability, and the application of learning organization principles.
