Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich, Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion power plant.\nOur concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation machines: Alpha and Stellaris. Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach.\nTurning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.\nWHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION\nYou will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world.\n\nYou'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals.\n\nDo your life’s best work and enjoy the journey.\n\nGet to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent.\n\nYOUR IMPACT\nLead the delivery of Alpha, Proxima's first fusion demonstrator, as owner-side Project Manager\n\nSteer engineering partners, coordinate internal teams, manage risks, and ensure construction readiness\n\nDrive clarity and decision-making at the intersection of physics, engineering, and infrastructure, where requirements evolve quickly\n\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nLead the planning and delivery of Alpha, owning scope, schedule, risk, and cross-team alignment.\n\nDirect the planning and delivery of the Alpha construction project, ensuring effective management of scope, schedule, risk, and cross-team alignment.\n\nDrive structured coordination with engineering partners, ensuring contract alignment together with the Head of Siting & Infrastructure.\n\nIntegrate inputs from Technical Integration, machine engineering, BIM, and external partners into a coherent, delivery-ready plan.\n\nCoordinate 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.\n\nIdentify risks early, guide decision-making, and maintain transparency across teams and leadership.\n\nEnsure construction and commissioning readiness by resolving cross-disciplinary issues before they become blockers.\n\nWHO YOU ARE\nSignificant experience delivering complex capital projects in energy, research, industrial, or high-tech environments.\n\nStrong grasp of engineering-construction interfaces and owner-side project management.\n\nSkilled at driving decisions, structuring ambiguity, and aligning a diverse set of stakeholders.\n\nComfortable operating with evolving technical maturity and incomplete information.\n\nAble to represent owner priorities clearly when working with EPCM and engineering consortia.\n\nINTERVIEW PROCESS\nRecruiter Interview (30-60 min)\n\nTechnical Screening (30 min)\n\nTechnical Panel (3x60 min)\n\nCEO call (30 min)\n\n*This role sits at \"LvL 3 out of 6\" of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information.\nAt 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3977,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T14:04:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.255,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":267,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/proximafusion-construction-project-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/proximafusion-construction-project-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T14:54:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2455,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8931},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8931"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fproximafusion-construction-project-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fproximafusion-construction-project-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fproximafusion-construction-project-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/proximafusion-construction-project-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fproximafusion-construction-project-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":286050}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"proximafusion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":286050},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
