- Oversee contractor performance, procurement activities, material sourcing, and project deliverables.
- Serve as the primary point of coordination among internal teams, customers, contractors, vendors, and other external stakeholders.
- Contribute to technical strategy, execution planning, and continuous improvement initiatives that support organizational goals.
- Ensure projects are executed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with applicable quality, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management, Nuclear Engineering, Business, or a related technical discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years of project management experience leading complex technical, engineering, construction, manufacturing, or operational projects.
- Experience managing project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, milestones, and cross-functional dependencies.
- Demonstrated ability to lead teams, resolve blockers, and communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders.

- Ability to operate with agility and sound judgment in a fast-moving, evolving organization.
- Proficiency with project planning, scheduling, and collaboration tools.

- Familiarity with quality assurance, configuration management, permitting, or regulatory compliance processes.
- We are looking for a Deployment Project Manager that is:
- Passionate about advancing the deployment of next-generation powerhouse facilities
- Creative when pursuing tasks in resource constrained environments
- You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and deliver
- You see how the pieces connect and can manage interfaces
- You turn ambiguity into momentum
- Eager to work on a dynamic team, receive constructive feedback, and grow with us
- An active and effective communicator of priorities
- Able to recognize, accept, and manage risk
- Passionate about Oklo's mission to design and deploy advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy
- Willing to think differently and do things in new ways
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment
- Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about the problems they are solving, while not leaning only on what has been done before
- A startup person : You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.
- Motivated : You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.
- A team-player : Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.
- An excellent communicator : We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.
- Creative : Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.
- Detail-oriented : This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.
- Oklo requires remote employees to travel to headquarters (Santa Clara, CA) twice a quarter annually, based on business or team needs, including attendance at team meetings, off-sites, and other company events or gatherings. For the first two weeks of onboarding, employees are required to be in person at headquarters in Santa Clara, CA.
