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\nOwn project delivery across Proxima Fusion’s site development and infrastructure portfolio\n\nManage projects across multiple sites and different levels of maturity\n\nCover both near-term facility development and early Stellaris siting preparation\n\nShape early-stage concepts into fundable and executable project plans\n\nDrive confirmed projects forward with structure, rigour, and pace\n\nAct as the owner-side delivery authority for site development and infrastructure\n\nManage relationships with site owners, local planning authorities, and specialist consultants\n\nRepresent Proxima Fusion’s interests, requirements, and timelines in external discussions\n\nEstablish clear plans, governance, responsibilities, and delivery structures where they do not yet exist\n\nMaintain oversight across both developing opportunities and active delivery projects\n\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nOwn 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\n\nLead early-stage project structuring: translate feasibility studies, masterplanning inputs, and concept briefs into delivery-ready plans with milestones, gates, and resource requirements\n\nManage relationships with site owners, local planning authorities, and specialist consultants; navigate the constraints and timelines they bring as a core part of project delivery\n\nOwn site development workstreams and infrastructure siting preparation for FOAK projects as these programmes mature and require dedicated delivery structure\n\nFeed 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\n\nIdentify and manage dependencies between assigned projects and the broader Alpha programme; flag interface risks early before they affect the critical path\n\nWHO YOU ARE\nExperienced 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\n\nProven 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\n\nExperienced managing complex external stakeholder relationships - site owners, local authorities, planning bodies - and navigating the constraints they bring\n\nComfortable holding multiple projects at different maturity levels simultaneously without losing grip on any of them\n\nFluent in German and English, written and spoken\n\nFamiliar with AI tools and digital working methods; comfortable in a lean, high-autonomy environment\n\nBackground 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\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 \"L3\" 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":5094,"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":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T14:04:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.482,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":98,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/proximafusion-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/proximafusion-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T14:18:12Z","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":22206,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"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-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development"},{"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-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development"},{"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-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development"},{"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-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fproximafusion-project-manager-site-infrastructure-development"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":286030}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"proximafusion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":286030},"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.
