Jack Craig Selected as Next Savannah River Site Manager

Department of Energy Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center Director Jack Craig will be the next DOE Savannah River Operations Office Manager, DOE announced yesterday. Craig will take over for Dave Moody, who will retire at the end of May after a five-year tenure at the site. While Craig has served as CBC director since 2004, he also was acting manager of the Savannah River Office from March to November 2010. “Jack is a seasoned leader with decades of experience in the EM program, including serving as acting SRS manager in 2010,” EM Acting Assistant Secretary Mark Whitney said in a message to employees yesterday. He added: “Jack and I will travel to SRS in the coming weeks to meet with SRS staff and with some of our key community partners as we begin preparing for the leadership transition.”

 

Craig has been with DOE for 20 years, also serving as deputy manager of the DOE Ohio Field Office from 2000 to 2004 and was director of the Fernald Environmental Management Project from 1995 to 2000. The transition will occur “before this summer,” Moody said yesterday at the Waste Management Conference in Phoenix. “I look forward to passing the baton to Jack. He’s not a stranger to the Savannah River Site and he’s looking forward to continuing the tremendous progress the site has made,” Moody said, adding that he hopes to continue working on Savannah River issues in the future “once my year in the penalty box is over.”
