Vice President, Project Management Office NUCLEAR BUILD

Who We Are!

Elementl Power Inc. is an advanced nuclear project developer and independent power producer, building scalable pathways for clean resilient energy. We break the stalemate in advanced nuclear deployment by delivering turnkey development, financing, and ownership solutions -- empowering customers to access nuclear power without the burden of operating assets.

Elementl Power is building the next generation of nuclear energy projects in the U.S. and we’re looking for a VP, Project Management Office to lead the team that turns those projects into reality.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who has done it before in commercial nuclear
: building disciplined governance, mobilizing delivery teams, and driving predictable execution across complex, multi-billion-dollar nuclear power plant development and delivery programs.
This is not a general PMO role; candidates must have led delivery of commercial nuclear projects (or nuclear new-build/major nuclear capital programs) in a highly regulated environment. Nuclear is unique in its regulatory, quality, and execution expectations, and we need a leader who is fluent in that environment and has direct experience delivering nuclear projects end-to-end.

As VP, PMO you will lead Elementl’s PMO and oversee Project Directors and cross-functional delivery teams through the full lifecycle:
early planning, siting, licensing and permitting, engineering, procurement, EPC execution, commissioning, and turnover. You will set the standards, systems, and phase-gate governance that keep a portfolio moving safely, transparently, and efficiently, while maintaining strict alignment with DOE and NRC regulatory environments.

• Lead a portfolio of new nuclear power plant development and delivery projects
  , ensuring delivery within scope, schedule, and budget.
• Drive consistent use of project management and controls systems (schedule, cost, risk, change control, reporting).
• Establish the operating cadence that makes progress and risk visible, standard portfolio reviews, disciplined action tracking, clear escalation paths, and decision-ready dashboards for leadership.
• Identify cross-project risks, resource constraints, and interdependencies, and bring clarity and resolution quickly.
• Provide clear, decision-ready reporting to the CDO and executive leadership.

• Define and implement a phase-gate governance model that enables disciplined decision-making and transparency.
• Establish and maintain PMO standards, procedures, and performance frameworks to deliver projects safely, compliantly, and predictably
  .
• Build robust portfolio risk management practices that surface issues early and drive mitigation.
• Partner with Legal and functional leaders on contracting strategies, procurement alignment, and claims avoidance/mitigation.
• Drive delivery strategy and risk allocation across EPCs, owner’s engineers, and reactor/vendor-supplied major equipment, with disciplined change control and strong claims avoidance practices.

• Serve as a key liaison with internal leaders and external stakeholders, including regulators, clients, and strategic partners
  .
• Ensure effective communication, alignment, and transparency across all levels of the organization.
• Represent Elementl in discussions that reinforce confidence in our execution capabilities.
• Reinforce a strong nuclear safety and quality mindset across the portfolio, ensuring procedural rigor and compliance without unnecessary bureaucracy.

• Lead and develop a high-performing organization of Project Directors, Project Managers, Project Controls, Contracts, Document Management, and other delivery support functions.
• Align staffing plans and capabilities to portfolio demands.
• Foster a culture of nuclear safety
  , accountability, and continuous improvement.
• This role will require frequent travel to project sites and to partner, client, and stakeholder meetings.

• Integrate digital tools, analytics, and AI-enabled solutions into project management and reporting.
• Improve predictability,…
