The SPARC tokamak will be a cutting-edge engineering system, pushing the forefront of superconducting magnet technology. There are a number of subsystems that will require proof-of-concept demonstrations during the design and initial construction phase. CFS is looking for an experienced Project Engineer to manage the planning and processes for engineering of the SPARC device to ensure the project is completed efficiently and successfully.
This team member will:
- Assist in the development of the design solutions for equipment design, equipment layout, P&IDs, procedures, and drawings for the SPARC Device.
- Ensure configuration control is maintained for all design aspects of assigned subsystems.
- Research and analyze complex project scope, schedules, and budget, and implement steps and processes for monitoring and reporting performance.
- Evaluate the strategic needs for staffing throughout the design phase of the project and work with company and project management to address those needs.
- Lead implementation of strategic process improvement plans and act as a catalyst to resolve diverse objectives and competing priorities within the device team.
- Cooperate and collaborate with the Project Manager and subsystem engineers to create more efficient project methods, and strong interfaces between subsystems.
- Function as the liaison between the Project Management and Engineering teams and provide regular updates to both entities.
- Ensure that scope is maintained and controlled such that it doesn't grow without approval.
- Assist in managing contracts to monitor cost and technical performance.
- Participate in field work during construction to monitor activities and report on progress for assigned systems.
- Ensure project compliance with applicable codes, practices, policies, performance standards, and specifications.
The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
- Minimum 10 years of experience in an engineering field or project management.
- Minimum of Bachelor's degree in an engineering field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Possess a thorough understanding of project management, planning, and scheduling methods and techniques including associated performance tools.
- Exceptional planning, organizational, and time management skills.
- Experience in identifying and evaluating cost and progress trends
- Nuclear experience (fusion or fission) is desirable.
- Experience with QA programs and how these apply to design/build work.
- Exceptional attention to detail is required.
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
- Excellent analytical, interpretive, and problem-solving skills.
- The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect with a desire to foster teamwork.
