Can I run type THW 8 AWG in PVC conduit buried from meter base to sub-panel at well

[JEG in Raleigh]

I just had a new well pump installed and need to have a sub-panel installed next to the well head. I have a remote meter base and my electrician will be burying PVC conduit and running 8/2 wire from a panel on the meter base pedestal to a new sub-panel at the top of the well. The well pump installer ran THW 8 AWG wire down the hole to supply the well pump. I have 200' of that wire left over, and that is more than enough footage to go from the well to the meter base. Is it OK for my electrician to use the extra THW wire in the conduit? Can THW wire be run through conduit? Thanks.
