About the company:

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is on a mission to deliver clean fusion energy to the planet fast enough to matter for humanity’s biggest challenges.

It’s urgent. The gap between the energy we need and the energy we have is widening every day. Fusion is a critical part of the energy transition away from fossil fuels, a new chapter for the world’s energy supply.

We’re committing to delivering fusion power plants and a full-fledged fusion energy industry as we’ve delivered on other promises. Like the world’s strongest high-temperature superconducting magnet, the game-changing technology that’s making commercial fusion energy a reality.

We’ve raised over $2 billion in capital — more than any other fusion energy company — and attracted top talent to design, build, and deliver commercial fusion power plants. And we’re working with policymakers and suppliers to make fusion energy available globally.

As we push toward the fusion-energy future, we’ll keep setting and meeting milestones, sharing and validating our progress, and encouraging others to do the same.

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.

Combining decades of research, top talent, and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And we're working with policymakers, suppliers, and many others to build the energy industry of the future.

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised $4 billion of capital, making us the largest and leading fusion company in the world.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

Review material receiving reports and warehousing to assure delivery of correct materials
Coordinate the preparation of cost reports, forecasts, and progress reports
Coordinate with Field Supervision and Subcontractors to plan/support construction schedules
Recommend and implement procedures to ensure construction remains in compliance with the requirements of engineering and design
Ensure engineering and procurement provide timely delivery of drawings, materials, and equipment
Support the construction quality program
Support problem solving in the field and serve as liaison between Construction and Engineering
Support development and implementation of the Request for Information (RFI)/Field Change Request (FCR) process between Construction and CFS engineering
Manage system turnover schedule with construction managing contractor
Develop turnover packages in accordance with defined system / sub-system breakdown
Track pending issues and actions impacting system turnover
Coordinate and facilitate system walkdowns
Review field generated inspection records for quality and completeness
Review field generated punch list items for quality and completeness and progress in project database
Support the implementation of the records retention and turnover plans

What we’re looking for:

BS in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related engineering discipline
Minimum of 5 years supporting design, construction, and execution of civil/structural projects or process systems with structural requirements
Demonstrated understanding of the engineering, design, and construction lifecycle for complex industrial facilities or process systems
Experience supporting civil, structural, and architectural (CSA) scopes, including structural steel, concrete, foundations, embeds, anchors, equipment supports, and building systems
Codes and standards with additional knowledge of IBC, AISC, ACI, and ASCE
Ability to read and understand engineering documents issued for construction such as P&IDs and isometric drawings
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced construction environment

Bonus points for:

Codes and standards with additional knowledge of IBC, AISC, ACI, and ASCE
