Before joining the agency, Jones was attached to the Department of the Navy as a senior shift-refueling engineer based out of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. As a civilian engineer for the Navy, he refueled Ohio class ballistic missile submarines, and defueled and deactivated Los Angeles class submarines. He also served as the lead reactor vessel head maintenance engineer for Improved Los Angeles class submarines and Nimitz class aircraft carriers in the Atlantic fleet.

At least two NRC resident inspectors are assigned to each operating U.S. commercial nuclear plant.
