Your role in the team
- Own project delivery across Proxima Fusion's site development and infrastructure portfolio.
- Manage projects across multiple sites and different levels of maturity.
- Cover both near-term facility development and early Stellaris siting preparation.
- Shape early-stage concepts into fundable and executable project plans.
- Drive confirmed projects forward with structure, rigour, and pace.
- Act as the owner-side delivery authority for site development and infrastructure.
- Manage relationships with site owners, local planning authorities, and specialist consultants.
- Represent Proxima Fusion's interests, requirements, and timelines in external discussions.
- Establish clear plans, governance, responsibilities, and delivery structures where they do not yet exist.
- Maintain oversight across both developing opportunities and active delivery projects.
- Own end-to-end project delivery for assigned site development and infrastructure projects - schedule, budget, risk register, and stakeholder management from early definition through to completion.
- Lead early-stage project structuring: translate feasibility studies, masterplanning inputs, and concept briefs into delivery-ready plans with milestones, gates, and resource requirements.
- Manage relationships with site owners, local planning authorities, and specialist consultants; navigate the constraints and timelines they bring as a core part of project delivery.
- Own site development workstreams and infrastructure siting preparation for FOAK projects as these programmes mature and require dedicated delivery structure.
- Feed project schedules and risk inputs into the Alpha Integrated Master Schedule; work closely with the Programme Schedule Manager to ensure site development workstreams are accurately reflected in the programme baseline.
- Identify and manage dependencies between assigned projects and the broader Alpha programme; flag interface risks early before they affect the critical path.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Proven ability to structure ambiguous, early-stage projects: you can take an incomplete brief, identify what needs to be resolved, and build a credible delivery plan around it.
- Comfortable holding multiple projects at different maturity levels simultaneously without losing grip on any of them.
- Fluent in German and English, written and spoken.
- Familiar with AI tools and digital working methods; comfortable in a lean, high-autonomy environment.
Experience
- Experienced in project management on site development, industrial, or infrastructure projects - comfortable owning delivery from early concept through execution where scope is not fully defined at the outset.
- Experienced in managing complex external stakeholder relationships - site owners, local authorities, planning bodies - and navigating the constraints they impose.
- Background in civil engineering, site development, industrial facilities, or energy infrastructure is strongly preferred; experience with first-of-kind or early-stage programmes is a plus.
What we offer
- This role sits at "L3" of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information.
