- Coordinating cross-functional teams, contractors, suppliers, regulators, and stakeholders to ensure successful project execution.
- Managing project scope, risks, issues, and dependencies while proactively identifying and implementing mitigation strategies.
- Driving alignment across technical, operational, regulatory, and business functions to achieve project objectives and milestones.
- Overseeing contractor performance, procurement activities, material sourcing, and project deliverables.
- Facilitating project meetings, status reviews, and executive reporting to communicate progress, risks, and key decisions.
- Supporting permitting, licensing, facility modifications, equipment installations, and infrastructure upgrade projects.
- Establishing and maintaining project controls, documentation, action tracking, and change management processes.
- Contributing to technical strategy, execution planning, and continuous improvement initiatives that support organizational goals.
- Ensuring 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, Materials Science, Chemistry, 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.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, and cross-functional coordination.
- Proven experience developing and maintaining project schedules, budgets, resource plans, and project performance metrics.
- Experience leading cross-functional teams and coordinating activities across technical, operational, regulatory, and business functions.
- Working knowledge of project management methodologies, project controls, risk management, and scheduling tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Smartsheet, or similar).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate with technical teams, contractors, suppliers, and executive leadership.
- Strong organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in dynamic environments.
- Experience in nuclear, radioisotope production, national laboratory, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, defense, energy, or other highly regulated industries.
- PMP certification strongly preferred.
- Experience supporting facility startup, commissioning, operational readiness, or infrastructure development projects.
- Experience working with NRC, DOE, national laboratories, or other government stakeholders.

- Familiarity with quality assurance, configuration management, permitting, or regulatory compliance processes.
- Experience supporting radioactive material handling facilities, nuclear laboratories, hot cell operations, or radiological facilities.
- We are looking for a Senior Project Manager that is:
- Passionate about unleashing beneficial isotopes
- Willing and able to learn quickly
- 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
- Willing to think differently and do things in new ways
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment
- Attention to detail and procedural compliance
- Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about the problems they are solving, while not leaning only on what has been done before
- Willing to propose novel and creative solutions to technical problems
- An excellent writer who can write in modern active voice, so make your cover letter compelling and write it well!
- Sound judgment and decision-making in radiological and operational environments
- 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.
