We’re fueled by the belief that advanced nuclear energy can strengthen our military, solve the climate crisis, elevate global living standards, and expand humanity's presence in outer space. To achieve our mission, we’re building mass-producible, inherently safe, deployable microreactors that can be used terrestrially, underwater, and in space.\nThe Antares team hails from SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy, MIT, Rigetti Computing, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Idaho, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Savannah River. Antares has raised over $600M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has hundreds of million-dollars on contract with the military services, NASA, and the Department of Energy.\nAbout the Team\nAntares Nuclear is developing and deploying advanced nuclear microreactor technology to provide highly reliable, resilient, and secure electricity for critical national-security infrastructure. As part of this effort, Antares is working with the Department of the Army to develop a microreactor power plant at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina.\nAntares is seeking a Site Lead to own on-the-ground execution of the Fort Bragg microreactor project. This is a senior technical and program-management role responsible for driving day-to-day progress on-site, navigating military construction processes, and maintaining the relationships with installation leadership and the local contractor base needed to deploy the project quickly and successfully.\nThe Site Lead will serve as Antares' principal on-site representative for all matters of schedule, technical readiness, and installation coordination - engaging directly and confidently with senior Army and installation leadership. This individual will work closely with Antares' North Carolina community and government affairs team to ensure execution progress and external commitments remain fully aligned\nRoles and Responsibilities:\nProgram & Site Execution\nOwn day-to-day program management and execution accountability for the Fort Bragg microreactor deployment, including schedule, technical milestones, and installation-level dependencies.\n\nNavigate on-base construction processes, approvals, and documentation requirements specific to Fort Bragg.\n\nTranslate engineering and program requirements into actionable, installation-specific execution plans.\n\nIdentify, vet, and manage relationships with local contractors capable of executing work quickly and reliably at Fort Bragg.\n\nProactively identify bottlenecks and drive resolution across internal teams, installation personnel, contractors, and other stakeholders to keep the project on schedule.\n\nMilitary & Installation Relationships\n\nBuild and maintain direct, credible relationships with Fort Bragg's Directorate of Public Works, installation leadership, and relevant Army stakeholders.\n\nRepresent Antares with confidence and credibility in meetings with senior Army and installation leadership on technical readiness, schedule, and project status.\n\nMaintain deep, working fluency in how Fort Bragg and Army institutional processes function.\n\nCross-Functional Coordination\n\nAlign closely with Antares' Mission Engineering leadership on program schedule, requirements, and technical milestones.\n\nWork in close, frequent coordination with Antares' North Carolina State & Community Affairs, to ensure government and community commitments remain grounded in actual installation progress.\n\nCoordinate with Antares' broader Government Affairs team to stay aligned on messaging and strategy.\n\nProvide regular, concise status reporting to leadership on execution progress, risks, and near-term needs.\n\nLocal Network Development\n\nBuild and maintain a bench of trusted local contractors, tradespeople, and technical talent to support site execution needs as the project scales.\n\nIssues Management\n\nIdentify emerging construction, permitting, contractor, or installation-relationship risks early, and coordinate resolution with relevant internal and external stakeholders.\n\nMaintain situational awareness of on-the-ground developments that could affect program schedule, military relationships, or community perception, and communicate proactively across relevant teams\n\nBasic Qualifications:\nDemonstrated, specific familiarity with Fort Bragg and/or the U.S. Army - prior military service, prior engineering or installation command experience, or equivalent direct professional exposure to Fort Bragg.\n\nA technical and/or project-management background, such as engineering, construction management, construction, or complex technical program delivery.\n\nDemonstrated ability to engage credibly and confidently with senior military leadership, including general-officer-level officials, on technical and programmatic matters.\n\nTrack record of working effectively with contractors and installation-level authorities on fast-turnaround, technically complex projects.\n\nPreferred Skills & Experience:\nPrior military engineering command experience with direct exposure to Fort Bragg.\n\nConstruction or real-estate development background with experience navigating permitting and large-project logistics.\n\nExisting professional or personal ties to the Fort Bragg installation community.\n\nExperience standing up program-management structure and governance from the ground up within a scaling organization.\n\nLocation\nThe position will be based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, with travel as needed to other Antares locations\n\nCulture\nAt Antares, we like to specifically tie each role to our founding document’s set of values-here are the top five cultural values we think you should believe at your core to be successful:\nThink in Systems - Energy and Defense are complex ecosystems with numerous stakeholders with competing priorities, conflicting policies, perverse incentives, and emergent and path-dependent properties. First principles thinking alone is insufficient. Think probabilistically and then take action. “If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete.” Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system\n\nObsess over the End User - The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of our end users and their entire interaction with the product life cycle\n\nBe Unconstrained by Convention - Our only limits are the laws of physics. Many, even experts, will say what we are working on is impossible. They said the same about SpaceX reusing rockets. Generationally impactful companies, by definition, must accomplish the seemingly impossible. If it were easy, it would have already been done. Never shy away from a solution because it has never been tried before, and never choose to do something because that's “how it's always been done”\n\nGo Where the Work Is - Never miss a chance to meet a customer, user, or stakeholder face to face, even if that means hopping on a plane. If you can’t make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place. Deep work can be done from anywhere, but we believe teams are built in person, and aim to maximize our time together\n\nOperate in the Grey - Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption\n\nEqual Opportunity\nAntares is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based solely on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
