BY JOINING OUR TEAM YOU’LL GET TO
Build the machine that builds the machine. Join TechOps at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, we’re building the production system that will enable commercial fusion. The Production lines, tooling, and processes are being developed from the ground up; you'll create the ways of working, not inherit them.
Work at the frontier of manufacturing technology. Bring your creativity to evaluate, qualify, and deploy processes with no industry playbook, every component you build and every process you shape goes directly into the core of the stellarator magnet technology.
Do work that matters, and see it grow. The hardware you build is the product and your career grows with it, from prototyping and process development through quality and industrialization, alongside exceptional colleagues from around the world.
Make an impact you can point to. In a small, fast-moving team, your calls on equipment, quality, and process directly shape how a world-class deep-tech company produces superconducting magnets with results visible on the shop floor, not buried in a slidedeck.
YOUR IMPACT
You are the bridge between detailed infrastructure planning and the single integrated master schedule that governs Alpha's delivery. Without dedicated infrastructure schedule ownership, dependencies like infrastructure readiness for the magnet factory (drainage, cryo supply, extraction systems) quietly fall behind because nobody owns translating detailed site-level planning into the program-level view leadership actually uses to make decisions. You make sure that never happens by accident.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Own and actively manage all infrastructure and siting project schedules across Alpha and Stellaris - buildings, utilities, permitting milestones, and site readiness
Translate infrastructure -specific schedule detail into validated, structured inputs for the Master Scheduler's integrated master schedule, ensuring infrastructure milestones, dependencies, and readiness dates are correctly reflected
Identify infrastructure -specific critical path items and interdependencies - for example, infrastructure readiness depending on equipment or magnet-line arrival dates - and flag risks early
Partner closely with the Master Scheduler, Risk & Change Manager, and Individual Project Managers (Alpha Construction Project Manager, Site Development Program Manager's team) to keep infrastructure schedules and the integrated timeline in sync
Maintain infrastructure milestone governance discipline across all programs, ensuring consistent coding and leveling conventions
Support gate-readiness by preparing infrastructure-specific schedule status inputs ahead of release gate decisions
WHO YOU ARE
Experienced in managing infrastructure or site development schedules on complex capital programs, ideally spanning multiple sites or projects in parallel
Comfortable working with a federated schedule structure - translating detailed infrastructure planning into a broader integrated programme view
Strong cross-functional communicator, able to align site project managers and technical teams with the Master Scheduler's baseline
Fluent in English; German is a strong advantage given the permitting and contractor landscape]
Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-scaling, still-being-built environment
