Project Manager, Industrial Facilities

Hexium is rebuilding America's isotope enrichment capability by modernizing Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) into a scalable industrial enrichment platform. To support the next phase of that effort, we're seeking a Senior Project Manager to personally stand up licensed, radiological-grade industrial facilities—creating the infrastructure that will enable the continued development, testing, and maturation of our technology.

As Hexium's Owner's Representative, you'll lead the project from site selection and lease execution through design, construction, and facility turnover. You'll coordinate architects, engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to deliver a facility that safely integrates radiological confinement ventilation, specialized laboratory and manufacturing spaces, and the supporting infrastructure required for advanced laser isotope separation research.

This is a hands-on project management role, not a program management or people management role. Initially, you'll personally lead the core project management work—including site selection, budgeting, scheduling, contractor coordination, site oversight, design reviews, permitting support, and construction management. As Hexium's facility portfolio expands, a team may eventually grow around this role, but success initially depends on your ability to drive projects from inception through completion.

**
What You'll Do**

Site Selection and Lease Execution

• Personally lead site search and evaluation against facility requirements (floor loading, clear height, power, waste-disposal proximity, zoning)
• Drive site due diligence with the Hexium legal and executive team; support lease negotiation and execution
• Serve as Hexium's day-to-day liaison with the landlord throughout occupancy

Design & Construction Management

• Manage the A/E firm or design-build contractor through all design phases and into construction
• Serve as Owner's Representative on all construction activities: track schedule and budget, attend site meetings, review submittals and RFIs, manage punch lists, and coordinate final inspections and certificates of occupancy
• Ensure construction quality meets Hexium requirements and applicable building codes; coordinate with Hexium's QA function on owner inspection activities at key milestones
• Develop construction and facility budgets and coordinate amongst internal and external stakeholders

Facility Fit-Out for Radiological and Classified Operations

• Oversee design and installation of the systems used in radiological research. 
• Own MEP scope (power, compressed gas, vacuum rough-pump, cooling water, process drains) 
• Coordinate directly with Hexium's regulatory team so the facility matches license conditions
