William "Bill" Shingler

Since retirement, Mr. Shingler has been providing executive consulting services to the Canadian and US nuclear industry and government entities.

He was Vice President of Operations for Fluor’s Government & Nuclear Services business line. Mr. Shingler was responsible for all aspects of Fluor Nuclear Power, including operations, integration of the commercial nuclear business into the Government Group, and growth of the entity. Additionally, he oversaw the human capital development strategic initiative for the company’s environmental and nuclear interests and managed the associated enterprise risk. He was the executive in charge of the design efforts of NuScale, Fluor’s small modular reactor (SMR). Mr. Shingler provided direct oversight for several major nuclear projects, both in the U.S. and Canada.

Prior to joining Fluor, he was the Senior Vice President of the Federal Division for Burns and Roe (B&R), where he was responsible for a new business unit and four site field operations offices. He developed and executed strategies to increase opportunities to engage in nuclear projects within the federal marketplace and was instrumental in correcting negative performance issues on DOE nuclear process facility projects. While there, he led B&R’s design of B&W’s mPower SMR.

Bill also has extensive experience with Westinghouse and its successor entities. In his capacity as Vice President/Treasurer/Director of Project Services, he successfully completed the startup of a new limited liability company, Washington Closure Hanford LLC, which was created specifically to manage five projects involving the River Corridor Environmental Remediation Closure Contract, a $2.5 billion DOE contract in Richland, Washington. Functional areas of responsibility included engineering; procurement and materials management; information technology and telecommunications services; controller/financial planning and control; labor relations, contract management; legal; records management; publications; human resources; and training. Significant accomplishments included the negotiation of a three-year collective bargaining agreement with a consortium of 15 unions, the replacement of a 10-year-old business management system, and the receipt of certification of Procurement and Property Management Systems.

In nearly a decade with the Westinghouse Savannah River Co., Bill held a variety of posts including Nuclear Project Director, Nuclear Materials Stabilization and Storage Projects Director, and Senior Vice President/Director of the Field Support Services Business Unit. In this last position, his responsibilities included management of a support staff of more than 2,000 for a $1.2 billion/year contract to manage a nuclear defense and environmental cleanup site for the DOE.
