About newcleo
Since launching in 2021, newcleo has quickly established itself as an innovator in the field of nuclear energy. newcleo is working to design, build, and operate Gen-IV Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) that are cooled by liquid lead and fueled by reprocessed nuclear waste.
Through an innovative combination of existing and proven technologies, and by reviving a nuclear industry model based on the manufacture and multi-recycling of Mixed Oxide fuel, newcleo aims to close the nuclear fuel cycle while safely producing clean, affordable, and practically inexhaustible energy required for low carbon economies.
With a EUR 50m group turnover in 2024, more than EUR 400m of private funding, and over 70 partnerships and collaborations across the nuclear industry, the growth of the newcleo group is supported through the targeted acquisition of key companies with strong capabilities in nuclear engineering, manufacturing, and waste management.
Through its workforce of over 800 highly qualified employees across France, the UK, Italy, Switzerland, and Slovakia, newcleo is not only developing and delivering the skills and services required for the group’s own ambitious project timelines but also supporting the development of Small Modular Reactor supply chains in Europe and beyond.
Overview of the role
newcleo is driving forwards an exciting and challenging international programme to develop and deploy our innovative Lead-cooled Fast Reactor technology. We are seeking an experienced and highly organised Project Manager to join our team. As a Deployment Project Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and delivery of key projects and work packages within the broader global LFR Deployment Programme.

Projects will cover a wide range of topics from design development and long lead item procurement planning to construction planning and operational readiness.
The role requires a proactive, flexible but highly organised Project Manager to meet the developing demands of our deployment programme across multiple countries.
As newcleo is a start-up company, the role will require a hands-on proactive approach and the individual must be comfortable with early-stage programmes. They must have the ability to work with ambiguity and change whilst establishing a clear path towards successful project delivery. The role provides the opportunity for an individual to expand their capability and experience as the programme grows from its early definition through to multi £billion delivery.

The role can be based in our London, Manchester, or Gloucester offices, where we have a hybrid & flexible working policy of 3 days per week in the office. There are also travel opportunities to our offices in Turin (Italy) and Lyon (France), in order to collaborate and build strong working relationships across our Global Team.
The role will also offer ongoing opportunities for growth & development depending on your career motivations and is a key position for us to achieve our project success.
Is this role right for you?
We would like to speak to people who have:
* A clear track record of supporting the development of complex projects/programmes from early programme definition through to delivery.
* Demonstrable project management experience, with experience in planning and managing complex procurement of critical / long lead items in nuclear power, oil & gas, aerospace, or other highly regulated industries.

* International experience would be beneficial.
* Excellent knowledge of project and programme management methodologies.
* Good leadership, communication (both written and verbal), and interpersonal skills including influencing with experience of leading teams and contracts on major complex programmes.
