Program Schedule Manager

Key details

• Own and build the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for Alpha, Proxima Fusion's first fusion demonstrator
• Define the scheduling architecture, coding structure, baseline conventions, and reporting standards from the ground up
• Integrate sub-schedules across infrastructure, plant suppliers, manufacturing, and machine engineering into one coherent programme view
• Establish credible milestones, programme gates, dependencies, and schedule interfaces across all workstreams
• Identify, validate, and maintain the programme's critical and near-critical paths
• Provide early warning of schedule risk, emerging delays, and downstream impacts
• Run schedule analysis to support recovery planning, mitigation actions, and informed trade-off decisions
• Maintain the IMS as a live, accurate, and trusted programme-management tool
• Support PMO governance, release-gate decisions, and executive programme reviews
• Provide clear schedule insights and recommendations to programme leadership as Alpha scales
• Drive schedule discipline and alignment across internal teams, suppliers, and delivery partners
• Ensure the programme has a defensible plan against which progress, performance, and readiness can be measured
• Build and advance the Alpha IMS architecture: WBS structure, activity coding, baseline conventions, and schedule governance rules that work across infrastructure, manufacturing, and machine disciplines
• Consolidate sub-schedules from all workstreams, including facility and plant construction, specialist equipment suppliers, and machine engineering, into one integrated baseline; enforce scheduling standards with internal project owners and external delivery partners
• Maintain a lean 6-week rolling lookahead as a live, actionable planning tool for the PMO and construction governance stream
• Identify and continuously update the critical path; model schedule impacts from scope changes, design evolution, or supplier delays before they reach senior leadership as surprises
• Own the schedule input to release gate decisions: prepare schedule status packs and flag float constraints
• Company mission
• Proxima Fusion is developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world's first commercial stellarator fusion power plant, bringing abundant, safe, clean energy to the world
