PPPL invites applications for the position of NSTX-U Recovery Project Manager – Electrical Mechanical Projects.
The NSTX-U Recovery Project is working to complete a major upgrade of PPPL’s National Spherical Torus eXperiment (NSTX) fusion device located in Princeton, New Jersey. The upgrade, when completed, will allow for a broader range of fusion science experiments, with the goal to ultimately achieve fusion as an economically viable clean energy source. The Recovery Project includes a portfolio of subordinate mechanical projects consisting of alterations or improvements to tokamak vacuum vessel internals, and mechanical systems and equipment needed to meet PPPL’s research objectives.
The Project Manager comprehensively owns the delivery of assigned projects including the timely mitigation of risks and resolution of emergent issues, and ensures the work is completed on time, within budget and in accordance with applicable Laboratory policies and procedures. Executing this work safely and with appropriate quality is paramount.
A proud U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a longstanding leader in the science and innovation behind the development of fusion energy — a clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy source. With an eye on the future and in response to national priorities, PPPL also has begun a strategic shift from a singular focus on fusion energy to a multi-focus approach that includes microelectronics, quantum information science, and sustainability science. Whether it be through science, engineering, technology or professional services, every team member has an opportunity to make their mark on our world. PPPL aims to attract and support people with a rich variety of backgrounds, interests, experiences, and cultural viewpoints. We are committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility and believe that each member of our team contributes to our scientific mission in their own unique way. Come join us!
