YOUR IMPACT

You lead the delivery of Alpha, our first fusion demonstrator. As an owner-side Project Manager, you steer engineering partners, coordinate internal teams, manage risks, and ensure construction readiness. You work at the intersection of physics, engineering, and infrastructure, driving clarity and decision‑making in an environment where requirements evolve quickly.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Lead the planning and delivery of Alpha, owning scope, schedule, risk, and cross‑team alignment. Direct the planning and delivery of the Alpha construction project, ensuring effective management of scope, schedule, risk, and cross‑team alignment. Drive structured coordination with engineering partners, ensuring contract alignment together with the Head of Siting & Infrastructure. Integrate inputs from Technical Integration, machine engineering, BIM, and external partners into a coherent, delivery‑ready plan. Coordinate closely with the PMO scheduler, project coordinator, and controllers - guiding their work so that schedule development, tracking, reporting, and financial control align with Alpha’s delivery needs and with other sub‑projects in the Alpha Delivery program. Identify risks early, guide decision‑making, and maintain transparency across teams and leadership. Ensure construction and commissioning readiness by resolving cross‑disciplinary issues before they become blockers.

WHO YOU ARE

Significant experience delivering complex capital projects in energy, research, industrial, or high‑tech environments. Strong grasp of engineering‑construction interfaces and owner‑side project management. Skilled at driving decisions, structuring ambiguity, and aligning a diverse set of stakeholders. Comfortable operating with evolving technical maturity and incomplete information. Able to represent owner priorities clearly when working with EPCM and engineering consortia. At Proxima Fusion, our mission is bold: making limitless clean energy a reality. To get there, we need a high‑performing, diverse team that brings different perspectives, challenges assumptions, and builds together with purpose. We know that diversity of thought and experience leads to better ideas, stronger execution, and a more resilient team. We don't look at how you identify, what you look like, who you choose to worship or what ethnicity you are. We care about what you can bring to the table. #J-18808-Ljbffr National Association of Women in Construction
