Meet the pros: Haley Noble
03/25/2025
In celebration of Women’s History Month, meet Haley Noble, a civil engineer at River Bend Station in St. Francisville, La. A lifelong St. Francisville resident, Noble’s passion for problem-solving and commitment to her community have driven her career in engineering.
After earning her civil engineering degree from Mississippi State University, she embraced the unique opportunity to contribute to sustainable energy production at River Bend, a facility closest to the community she loves.
“I have been fortunate enough to participate in numerous plant walk-downs, including a walkdown of the upper fuel pool and reactor itself. I am grateful for my experienced coworkers, especially the civil engineers, for generously involving me in their projects,” Noble said. “I have enjoyed performing the calculations and behind-the-scenes actions and then witnessing the execution of the work in the field.”
Haley credits her mother-in-law, Shanna Noble, who is also a civil engineer, as a significant mentor.
“She has taught me that in this field, the most important measure of success is not about how well you complete your own challenging work, but the impact you can have on those around you. She often emphasizes that people never forget how you make them feel when you contribute to their success,” Noble said. “The philosophy of putting others first resonates with me and changes my everyday point of view.”
Additionally, Noble acknowledges her mother, Cristy Walker, as a crucial influence in her life.
“My mother has always encouraged me to pursue a challenging career path. She supported me throughout my undergraduate journey, celebrating my successes and guiding me through the difficult times. She continually pushes me to strive for excellence and to never settle for less than my best. I truly would not have made it to where I am today without her support,” Noble said. “Having such remarkable and inspiring women in my life has been an incredible blessing.”
As an advocate for future engineers, Noble actively participates in organizations like the North American Young Generation in Nuclear and Women in Nuclear. She aims to inspire the next generation of female engineers by sharing her journey and highlighting the fulfilling opportunities within the field.
“To young women considering a career in engineering, I encourage you to go for it! It takes a lot of perseverance, self-confidence and willpower, but if you have a drive for problem-solving and enjoy developing innovative solutions, engineering can be an incredibly rewarding path where you can make a difference in the world.”
This Women’s History Month let’s celebrate Haley Noble and all the women supporting the River Bend team and paving the way for future generations.
