Project Controls and Integration Lead

About the role

The Nuclear Company is hiring a Project Controls and Integration Lead for the FORGE Engineering Cell. This role will create schedules and keep the team synchronized through the completion of Front End Loading (FEL) deliverables, and produce project cost and schedule forecasts as the rest of the team originates basic project data.

This is not a traditional project management role. The person in this seat must be technically fluent enough to participate in process and design discussions, sharp enough to identify when workstreams are diverging or when assumptions are inconsistent, and organized enough to turn a team of creative technical thinkers into a team that delivers

The role will be remote to start with an expected relocation to Washington, DC in 2027.

Responsibilities

• Manage the FORGE Engineering Cell’s study program: schedule, milestones, deliverables, and interdependencies.
• Integrate outputs from the process engineer and equipment engineers into unified design basis documents.
• Incorporate basic data from the team into cost and schedule estimates
• Identify and resolve conflicts between workstreams—for example, when the optimal process flow conflicts with the optimal facility layout.
• Support government stakeholder deliverables with technically substantive project documentation.
• Track risks, open questions, and design decisions in a structured way that enables rapid decision-making.
• Prepare and present integrated project status to TNC leadership.

Experience

• Exceptional organizational and communication skills: the ability to distill complex technical tradeoffs into clear decision frameworks.
