• You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals.

• Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey.

YOUR IMPACT

• Act as Proxima Fusion’s versatile project manager across a growing portfolio of projects

• Take ownership of projects where no clear delivery owner currently exists

• Manage work across Alpha-adjacent infrastructure, manufacturing interfaces, and early Stellaris planning

• Own projects end to end, from initial structure through to delivery

• Build processes, plans, and accountability where they do not yet exist

• Keep projects moving in a fast-paced and evolving environment

• Work proactively and take initiative without waiting for perfect clarity

• Absorb new programme needs as they emerge

• Ensure increased programme activity results in delivered outcomes rather than growing backlog

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Own end-to-end delivery for assigned projects across the Alpha programme and adjacent workstreams - schedule, budget, risk register, and stakeholder management from early definition through to completion

• Pick up projects at varying stages of maturity and apply the right level of structure for where each one is - from shaping an early concept into a fundable plan to driving an active delivery programme to completion

• Work across infrastructure and manufacturing-interface domains as the programme's project landscape evolves; engage meaningfully with technical leads on both sides without requiring deep specialism in either

• Support early Stellaris planning work - infrastructure, site, and programme requirements - as timelines make this relevant

• Feed project schedules and risk inputs into the Alpha Integrated Master Schedule; coordinate with the Programme Schedule Manager to ensure all assigned workstreams are accurately reflected in the programme baseline

• Identify and manage dependencies between assigned projects and the broader Alpha programme; escalate interface risks early

WHO YOU ARE

• Experienced in project management on capital, industrial, or research infrastructure projects - comfortable owning delivery across project types and at different stages of maturity

• Adaptable: equally effective shaping an early-stage concept and driving an active delivery programme - you adjust your approach to what the project needs

• Comfortable in a portfolio that will change - new projects will be assigned, priorities will shift, and scope will evolve; you stay effective through ambiguity rather than despite it

• Able to engage across infrastructure and manufacturing-interface domains without deep specialism in either - delivery rigour and stakeholder management are your core strengths

• Fluent in English; German is a strong advantage

• Familiar with AI tools and digital working methods; comfortable in a lean, high-autonomy environment

• Background in capital project delivery in energy, industrial, or research sectors is strongly preferred; experience with first-of-kind or early-stage programmes is a plus
