Project Manager
ConfidentialThe Opportunity We're excited to add a Project Manager to our growing Project Management Office (PMO). This is an owner-side project delivery role responsible for managing the planning, performance, and integration of complex scopes of work supporting the development and delivery of utility-scale advanced nuclear power generation projects. The Project Manager reports directly to the VP, PMO and works under the project direction of the Project Director when assigned to a project. The Project Director is accountable for overall project delivery, while the Project Manager is responsible for managing the execution, performance, and integration of assigned project scope within established governance and delegated authority. Initially, this role will have significant responsibility for managing and integrating Elementl's Nuclear Licensing plus EPC (“L+EPC”) and nuclear technology Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) scopes. As the number of projects and the organization grows, responsibilities may not be limited to a single project. We're looking for someone who knows what it takes to make capital projects succeed. You’ll work across Engineering, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Procurement, Commercial, Finance, Project Controls, contractors, consultants, and technology partners. You bring strong technical acumen, substantial capital project delivery experience, and the ability to critically evaluate project information, challenge assumptions, and recognize technical, commercial, and execution risks. You understand how your assigned scope interfaces with other project activities, anticipate gaps and interfaces before they become project problems, and drive the right people toward timely decisions and resolution. This is also an opportunity to help shape how Elementl delivers projects. Our PMO and project delivery systems are continuing to mature, and this role will help strengthen the procedures, tools, and governance as we scale. This is primarily a project delivery role, though. We are looking for someone who seeks a position accountable for project execution, not just the process around it. What You'll Do Drive the planning, integration, and execution of assigned project scope from authorization through completion. Manage performance against approved scope, schedule, budget, and project objectives, identify deviations and risks early, and drive corrective actions or recovery or mitigation plans when needed. Coordinate across Engineering, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Environmental, Procurement, Commercial, Finance, Project Controls, construction, operations, and other functional teams to ensure project activities, deliverables, decisions, and dependencies remain aligned. Hold functional work scope leads accountable for commitments, deliverables, actions, and required decisions, while working within established functional responsibilities and decision rights. Manage owner-side interfaces with L+EPC/EPC contractor(s), nuclear technology OEMs, consultants, suppliers, and other project delivery partners. Coordinate with functional leads and Quality to monitor compliance with applicable QA/QC requirements and approved quality plans. Identify and drive resolution of quality issues affecting contractor performance, deliverables, schedule, cost, or project execution. Understand applicable project agreements, deliverables, milestones, and contractor obligations; monitor contractor performance against those requirements; and manage associated Owner responsibilities and interfaces. Engage with Contracts, Procurement, and Legal on contractual issues, changes, notices, claims, and commercial matters. Work closely with Project Controls to establish executable plans and maintain alignment between project scope and the integrated schedule, budget, forecast, and change-control processes. Project Controls owns the earned value management and related systems and performance data; the Project Manager owns project performance …
